  • ATTACHMENT B Dams and Reservoirs Along the Lower
    ATTACHMENTS ATTACHMENT B Dams and Reservoirs Along the Lower Colorado River This attachment to the Colorado River Interim Surplus Criteria DEIS describes the dams and reservoirs on the main stream of the Colorado River from Glen Canyon Dam in Arizona to Morelos Dam along the international boundary with Mexico. The role that each plays in the operation of the Colorado River system is also explained. COLORADO RIVER INTERIM SURPLUS CRITERIA DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT COLORADO RIVER DAMS AND RESERVOIRS Lake Powell to Morelos Dam The following discussion summarizes the dams and reservoirs along the Colorado River from Lake Powell to the Southerly International Boundary (SIB) with Mexico and their specific roles in the operation of the Colorado River. Individual dams serve one or more specific purposes as designated in their federal construction authorizations. Such purposes are, water storage, flood control, river regulation, power generation, and water diversion to Arizona, Nevada, California, and Mexico. The All-American Canal is included in this summary because it conveys some of the water delivered to Mexico and thereby contributes to the river system operation. The dams and reservoirs are listed in the order of their location along the river proceeding downstream from Lake Powell. Their locations are shown on the map attached to the inside of the rear cover of this report. Glen Canyon Dam – Glen Canyon Dam, which formed Lake Powell, is a principal part of the Colorado River Storage Project. It is a concrete arch dam 710 feet high and 1,560 feet wide. The maximum generating discharge capacity is 33,200 cfs which may be augmented by an additional 15,000 cfs through the river outlet works.

  • Lake Havasu City Recommended Landscaping Plant List
    Lake Havasu City Recommended Landscaping Plant List Lake Havasu City Recommended Landscaping Plant List Disclaimer Lake Havasu City has revised the recommended landscaping plant list. This new list consists of plants that can be adapted to desert environments in the Southwestern United States. This list only contains water conscious species classified as having very low, low, and low-medium water use requirements. Species that are classified as having medium or higher water use requirements were not permitted on this list. Such water use classification is determined by the type of plant, its average size, and its water requirements compared to other plants. For example, a large tree may be classified as having low water use requirements if it requires a low amount of water compared to most other large trees. This list is not intended to restrict what plants residents choose to plant in their yards, and this list may include plant species that may not survive or prosper in certain desert microclimates such as those with lower elevations or higher temperatures. In addition, this list is not intended to be a list of the only plants allowed in the region, nor is it intended to be an exhaustive list of all desert-appropriate plants capable of surviving in the region. This list was created with the intention to help residents, businesses, and landscapers make informed decisions on which plants to landscape that are water conscious and appropriate for specific environmental conditions. Lake Havasu City does not require the use of any or all plants found on this list. List Characteristics This list is divided between trees, shrubs, groundcovers, vines, succulents and perennials.

  • Chapter 3 – Affected Environment
    Glen Canyon Dam Long-Term Experimental and Management Plan October 2016 Final Environmental Impact Statement 3 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT Chapter 3 describes the environmental resources (physical, biological, cultural, recreational, and socioeconomic) that could be affected by the range of alternatives for implementing the Glen Canyon Dam Long-Term Experimental and Management Plan (LTEMP), as described in Chapters 1 and 2. The extent to which each specific resource may be affected by each alternative is discussed in Chapter 4, Environmental Consequences.1 3.1 PROJECT AREA The project area includes the area potentially affected by implementation of the LTEMP (including normal management and experimental operations of Glen Canyon Dam and non-flow actions). This area includes Lake Powell, Glen Canyon Dam, and the river downstream to Lake Mead (Figure 3.1-1). More specifically, the scope primarily encompasses the Colorado River Ecosystem, which includes the Colorado River mainstream corridor and interacting resources in associated riparian and terrace zones, located primarily from the forebay of Glen Canyon Dam to the western boundary of Grand Canyon National Park (GCNP). It includes the area where dam operations impact physical, biological, recreational, cultural, and other resources. This section of the river runs through Glen, Marble, and Grand Canyons in Coconino and Mohave Counties in northwestern Arizona. Although this EIS focuses primarily on the Colorado River Ecosystem, the affected area varies by resources and extends outside of the immediate river corridor for some resources and cumulative impacts. Portions of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (GCNRA), GCNP, and Lake Mead National Recreation Area (LMNRA) outside the Colorado River Ecosystem are also included in the affected region for certain resources due to the potential effects of LTEMP operations.

  • Top Lakes to Visit in Arizona
    Top Lakes to Visit in Arizona Written by Leslie K. Hughes Any water seen in Phoenix for the next few months can either be attributed to monsoons or mirages. In order to quench your thirst for more consistent and tangible enjoyment of water, escape the Valley and head to one of Arizona’s refreshing lakes. The Grand Canyon state has a number of notable lakes hidden within its deserts; here are the most notable ones: MORMON LAKE Holding the title of Arizona’s biggest natural lake, Mormon Lake is a must-see. Southeast of Flagstaff, this lake provides a multitude of activities; from racing speedboats, to surfing, to fishing, Mormon Lake does not leave its visitors disappointed. Be aware, however, that during droughts the lake can dry up entirely, so be sure to check the notices on the website below before heading up North. You may even be lucky enough to catch sight of some buffalo while up there! Mormon Lake Lodge offers log cabin stays, or campgrounds for those more adventurous travelers. Make sure to grab a drink at the lodge’s 1880s-style saloon where you can give your two-step skills a whirl Friday and Saturday nights with live music performances. http://www.fs.usda.gov/coconino/ and http://www.mormonlakelodge.com/ LAKE PLEASANT On the border of Maricopa and Yavapai counties, Lake Pleasant is the go-to spot for a quick escape from the Valley heat. The lake was created by the Waddell Dam’s diversion of water from the Colorado River, and its clear blue water attracts outdoor enthusiasts from all over.

  • Lake Havasu City Tourism Survey
    Lake Havasu City Tourism Survey Prepared for the Arizona Office of Tourism by Arizona Hospitality Research & Resource Center Center for Business Outreach The W. A. Franke College of Business Northern Arizona University July 2008 i Executive Summary This survey of visitors to Lake Havasu City, Arizona was undertaken in an effort to gather more reliable regional data than is available from statewide or national panel surveys which often contain too few cases to reliably represent area visitation. This survey process collected a total of 711 surveys from Lake Havasu City over a 12-month period from July 2007 through June 2008 – a more than sufficient sample size to provide reliable results. This information will assist Lake Havasu City with targeted marketing, product development, and advocacy for an industry that is critical to the health of the regional economy. Generally, the Lake Havasu City area is a primary destination for affluent Baby-boomer aged individuals on leisure vacations, who stay multiple nights, enjoy water recreation, hike and shop in the area. A summary of the specific findings of the visitor survey follows: Nearly equal male (50.8%) and female (49.2%) participants appeared in the survey sample. The average age of visitors was 50.8 years (median age 52 years), with males (49.8 years) slightly younger than female visitors (51.9 years). The average party size was 2.8 people (1.4 men, 1.4 women). One quarter (24.2%) of parties traveled with children under the age of 18 years. The great majority of visitors (60.5%) traveled in family groups, while a further 15.8 percent traveled in groups of family and friends.
