This investigation included a review of previous geological work, new geological mapping from aerial photographs and field studies, gravity, aeromagne- tic, and aerial gamma-ray studies, and field examination of similar mineralized terranes nearby. The gravity study included construction of an isostatic residual gravity map from 64 ground gravity stations in and near the study area. Fifty-one stations were established by the USGS in May 1986, and data from 13 stations were previously as­ sembled and edited for regional gravity maps of New Mexico (Cordell and others, 1982). An aeromagnetic map was constructed from data collected in December 1985 by EG&G Geometries under contract to the USGS. As Figure 2.

Key issues include the following. Energy Resources. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-58) led to new regulations on federal land leasing for oil and gas, oil shale, geothermal, and renewable energy. The Obama Administration is reviewing some rules and has withdrawn certain oil and gas leases in Utah. Hardrock Mining. The General Mining Law of 1872 allows prospecting for minerals in open public domain lands. Several bills to reform aspects of the Law have been introduced to require royalties on production and establish a fund to clean up abandoned mines, among other changes. Wildfire Protection. Various initiatives seek to protect communities from wildfires by expanding fuel reduction, and one related program was established in P.L. 111-11. Cost concerns led to new fire suppression accounts in the FLAME Act (Title V of P.L. 111-88). Wild Horses and Burros. To reduce program costs and the number of wild horses and burros on the range, the Secretary of the Interior has proposed wild horse preserves and increased fertility controls.

  • 112 Appendix B Hydrogeologic and Soils Factors
    APPENDIX B HYDROGEOLOGIC AND SOILS FACTORS INFLUENCING LEAKAGE POTENTIAL FROM THE CONCHAS-HUDSON CANAL SYSTEM, ARCH HURLEY CONSERVANCY DISTRICT, QUAY AND SAN MIGUEL COUNTIES, NEW MEXICO by John W. Hawley, Senior Hydrogeologist New Mexico Water Resources Research Institute and John F. Kennedy, GIS Specialist/Hydrogeologist New Mexico Water Resources Research Institute October 2005 INTRODUCTION The following discussion of geology and soils in the Arch Hurley Conservancy District (District) study area introduces the major landscape features (landforms) and surficial geologic units of the Conchas-Hudson Canal system between Conchas Reservoir in San Miguel County and the eastern part of the Tucumcari (irrigation) Project in Quay County. Emphasis is on hydrogeologic and soils factors that influence leakage from not only the canal corridor but also the complex network of laterals, ditches and field- drainage features that characterize irrigated parts of the District. Of particular importance is the historic role played by Project operations (since 1946) in recharge of the shallow- alluvial and bedrock (Entrada Sandstone) aquifer systems of the Tucumcari Metropolitan area. The latter topic was first addressed in detail by Trauger and Bushman (1964) and is only briefly covered here. 112 The geologic setting of the entire study area is the subject of a recent comprehensive review paper that was written specifically for a general audience by Adrian Hunt (Director, New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science; 1998). Hydrogeologic characteristics of major stratigraphic units exposed or shallowly buried along the canal corridor are summarized in Table B1, which also includes a list of supporting references. Distribution patterns and leakage potential of surficial-geologic units and soils are summarized in Tables B2-B5 in Attachment B1 to this Appendix.

E. Gage and G. B. Asquith SOCORRO 1977 11 Published by Authority of State of New Mexico, NMSA 1953 Sec. 63-1-4 Printed by University of New Mexico Printing Plant, June 1977 Available from New Mexico Bureau of Mines & Mineral Resources, Socorro, NM 87801 Price $2.50 Contents iv 5 Abstract The Mesa Rica Sandstone (Lower Cretaceous) in the Tucumcari Basin of east-central New Mexico represents deposits from a lobate sand-rich delta complex. Log-probability curves of the grain-size distributions when compared to the work of Visher (1969) indicate environments ranging from distributary channels to marine wave deposits. The Mesa Rica delta prograded into the marine Tucumcari Basin from the north as shown by the south-trending to southwest-trending paleocurrent directions, and the decrease in mean grain size and thickness to the southeast, south, and southwest (lobate geometry). Also, a decrease in percent cross stratification to the southeast, south, and southwest (accompanied by an increase in percent bioturbation and burrowing) indicates a transition from predominantly fluvial to predominantly marine conditions. If the Mesa Rica Sandstone is correlative with the lower fluvial interval of the Dakota Sandstone north and northwest of the Tucumcari Basin as suggested by Scott (1970), then the Dakota Sandstone represents the fluvial facies of the Mesa Rica marine delta complex.

This is one of many related papers that were included in the 2001 NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebook. Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks. Copyright Information Publications of the New Mexico Geological Society, printed and electronic, are protected by the copyright laws of the United States.
