  • Toiyabe Forest Plan Vista Towers Comm Site Amendment
    DECISION NOTICE FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT Vista Towers Communications Project USDA Forest Service Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest Bridgeport Ranger District Mono County, California and Douglas County, Nevada Background Communications sites are one of the special uses recognized in the Toiyabe National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP, 1986). New communications sites on the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest are required to be designated as such in the LRMP, as required by Forest Service Handbook (FSH) 2709.11, Chapter 90. The Forest Service has been given direction from the President and Congress to facilitate implementation of the Nation's strategy for wireless communications. • Title V of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of October 21, 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1761-1771) authorizes the use of National Forest System lands for telecommunications uses. • On August 1 0, 1995, President Clinton released a memorandum entitled "Facilitating Access to Federal Property for the Siting of Mobile Services Antennas." The memorandum requires, upon request, and to the extent permitted by law and where practicable, that executive departments and agencies make available, Federal Government buildings and lands for the siting of mobile service antennas. • The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (47 U.S.C. 332), Section 704(c) requires Federal agencies to facilitate the development and placement of telecommunications equipment on buildings and land they manage, when placement does not conflict with the agency's mission or current

  • Late Quaternary Deformation and Seismic Risk Vl in the Northern Sierra Nevada-Great Basin Boundary Zone Near the Sweetwater Mountains, California and Nevada
    University of Nevada Reno !Late Quaternary deformation and seismic risk vl in the northern Sierra Nevada-Great Basin Boundary Zone near the Sweetwater Mountains, California and Nevada A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Geology by Garry Fallis Hayes W\ April 1985 i MINIS 1 LIBRARY University of Nevada Reno April 1985 ii ABSTRACT Remote-sensing, seismic and field studies indi­ cate three major zones of Quaternary deformation near the Sweetwater Mountains. Holocene fault scarps are present in the Antelope, Little Ante­ lope, Smith and Bridgeport Valleys, and in the Sonora Basin. Two other vaguely defined zones, between Carson and Antelope valleys, and from the Bridgeport Valley east to Bald Mountain, may repre­ sent Mio-Pliocene zones of faulting which more recently have acted as conjugate shears releasing stress between fault basins in the Western Great Basin between the Sierra Nevada and Walker Lane shear zone. The northern portion of the Sierra Nevada-Great Basin Boundary Zone is less active than the south­ ern part in Owens Valley, as shown by lower slip rates, shorter fault lengths and lower levels of historical seismicity. Maximum Credible Earthquake magnitudes for the fault basins range from 6.3 to 7.2, with expected displacements of 3 meters or more. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author would like to thank Dr. D.B. Slemmons, Craig DePolo and J.O. Davis for helpful discussions during the course of this study. Special thanks to Craig DePolo, Susan Hciyss and Ron Smith, who assisted with the field studies, and to Glenn Hayes who assisted with the manuscript preparation.

  • Late Holocene Paleohydrology of Walker Lake and the Carson Sink in the Western Great Basin, Nevada, USA
    Quaternary Research Copyright © University of Washington. Published by Cambridge University Press, 2019. doi:10.1017/qua.2018.151 Late Holocene paleohydrology of Walker Lake and the Carson Sink in the western Great Basin, Nevada, USA Kenneth D. Adamsa*, Edward J. Rhodesb aDivision of Earth and Ecosystem Sciences, Desert Research Institute, 2215 Raggio Parkway, Reno, Nevada 89512, USA bDepartment of Geography, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, S10 2TN, United Kingdom *Corresponding author e-mail address: [email protected] (RECEIVED June 8, 2018; ACCEPTED December 6, 2018) Abstract The late Holocene histories of Walker Lake and the Carson Sink were reconstructed by synthesizing existing data in both basins along with new age constraints from key sites, supplemented with paleohydrologic modeling. The repeated diversions of the Walker River to the Carson Sink and then back to Walker Lake caused Walker Lake–level fluctuations spanning ± 50 m. Low lake levels at about 1000, 750, and 300 cal yr BP are time correlative to the ages of fluvial deposits along the Walker River paleochannel, when flow was directed toward the Carson Sink. The timing and duration of large lakes in the Carson Sink were further refined using moisture-sensitive tree-ring chronologies. The largest lakes required a fourfold to fivefold increase in discharge spanning decades. Addition of Walker River flow to the Carson Sink by itself is inadequate to account for the required discharge. Instead, increases in the runoff coefficient and larger areas of the drainage basin contributing surface runoff may explain the enhanced discharge required to create these large lakes.

  • Parks and Recreation Element Draft
    PARKS AND RECREATION ELEMENT DRAFT AUGUST 2017 PARKS AND RECREATION ELEMENT PURPOSE The purpose of the Parks and Recreation Element is to review the current parks and recreation inventory in Douglas County and to identify issues and opportunities. The Parks and Recreation Element concludes with Goals, Policies, and Actions to support development and maintenance of open space, parks, and recreation programs in Douglas County during the next five to ten years. Many of the Goals, Policies, and Actions in this Element are based on the County’s 1996 Parks and Recreation Master Plan, as amended. PARKS AND RECREATION IN DOUGLAS COUNTY Douglas County contains significant open space, parks, and recreation resources, including almost 250,00 acres of federal public lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. There are multiple social, environmental, and economic benefits associated with the development of parks and recreation as well as many challenges in meeting different and sometimes conflicting interests between recreation stakeholders (e.g. equestrians vs. bicyclists). PARKS AND RECREATION INVENTORY The parks and recreation inventory in Douglas County includes regional, neighborhood, and special facilities located in all areas of the County. As shown in Figure 1, there are 1,655.05 acres of regional parks, 519.05 acres of neighborhood parks, and 97.06 acres of special facilities. Figure 1 does not include private recreation facilities, such as golf courses. Figure 1 Park Acreage in Douglas County, by Type 97.06 519.05 1,655.05 Regional Parks Neighborhood Parks Special Facilities 1 PARKS AND RECREATION ELEMENT WBA DRAFT AUGUST 2017 Regional parks in Douglas County include Topaz Lake Regional Park, Van-Sickle Bi-State Park in Stateline, and Spooner Lake (Lake Tahoe State Park) in Glenbrook.
