    NYE COUNTY AGENDA INFORMATION FORM a Action a Presentation Presentation & Action II Department: Natural Resources Office Category: June 5,2007 Contact: Dr. James Marble Phone: 482-7238 Continued from meeting of: Return to: Natural Resources Office I Location: Tonopah Phone: 482-7238 -- Action requested: (Include what, with whom, when, where, why, how much ($) and terms) Approval of a service contract for BYU to conduct integrated geophysical investigations of shallow groundwater conditions near Ash Meadows, Nevada. Funding for this work is provided by a federal earmark grant through the National Nuclear Security Administration of the US Department of Energy. Funds are approved and currently available. Complete description of requested action: (Include, if applicable, background, impact, long-term commitment, existing county policy, hture goals, obtained by competitive bid, accountability measures) Nye County has received federal funding approved to conduct a Groundwater Evaluation in hydrographic basins in southern Nye County. The proposed work will focus on two Nye County objectives: 1) determine the best method(s) for surface geophysical estimation of depth to shallow groundwater near the Ash Meadows National Wildlife Rehge (AMNWR), and 2) investigate the geologic framework of the shallow subsurface across the Gravity Fault near the AMNWR. Work Element 1 of the approved work plan includes water resources characterization and monitoring of groundwater in the Pahrump Valley and Amargosa Desert, respectively. The geophysical survey work by BYU will further quantify the water resources in Amargosa Desert and the potential impacts of existing and future water withdrawals with respect to Devils Hole, existing water users in the basin, and future water development activities.

Torrey Pines Drive Las Vegas, NV 89130 Via email: [email protected] May 4, 2020 RE: Yellow Pine Solar Project Draft Environmental Impact Statement DOI-BLM- NV-S010-2017-0110-EIS Dear Mr. Pinales, Basin and Range Watch, Western Watersheds Project, Morongo Basin Conservation Association, Sierra Club California and Nevada Desert Committee, Desert Survivors, and Shoshone Village submits comments on the proposed 500-megawatt Yellow Pine Solar Project which would develop approximately 3,072.5-acres of Federally Threatened Mojave desert tortoise habitat and prime Mojave yucca stands in Pahrump Valley, Nevada. The project would include a photovoltaic solar energy generating facility and associated substation, and a 230-kilovolt (kV) substation and associated 230-kV transmission line. Basin and Range Watch is a 501(c)(3) non-profit working to conserve the deserts of Nevada and California and to educate the public about the diversity of life, culture, and history of the ecosystems and wild lands of the desert. Federal and many state agencies are seeking to open up millions of acres of unspoiled habitat and public land in our region to energy development. Our goal is to identify the problems of energy sprawl and find solutions that will preserve our natural ecosystems, open spaces, and quality of life for local communities. We support energy efficiency, better rooftop solar policy, and distributed generation/storage alternatives, as well as local, state and national planning for wise energy and land use following the principles of conservation biology. We have visited the site of the proposed Yellow Pine Solar Project.

    SUMMARY OF GEOPHYSICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF THE DEATH VALLEY REGIONAL WATER-FLOW MODELING PROJECT, NEVADA AND CALIFORNIA By Richard J. Blakely, Victoria E. Langenheim, and David A. Ponce U.S. Geological Survey, 345 Middlefield Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025 Open-File Report 00–189 Prepared in cooperation with the Nevada Operations Office, U.S. Department of Energy (Interagency Agreement DE-AI08-96NV11967) 2000 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed in conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards or with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. 1 ABSTRACT This report summarizes geophysical investigations in the Amargosa Desert and surrounding areas conducted between 1997 and 2000 in support of the Death Valley Regional Water-Flow Modeling Project of the U.S. Geological Survey. These investigations used both gravity and aeromagnetic data to develop a regional-scale tectonic and lithologic model for the near-surface. Gravity data were inverted in order to estimate the depth to pre-Cenozoic basement throughout the study area. This basement surface is interpreted to be the contact between pre-Cenozoic carbonate rocks and overlying alluvium, an important component of water-flow models. Gravity data also were used to identify locations where basement rocks are anomalously dense, possibly indicating areas resistant to water flow. A new aeromagnetic survey of the central part of the study area was used to map concealed faults and areas underlain by volcanic rocks.
