Matocq, Ph.D. Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean Graduate School May, 2020 i ABSTRACT Habitat disturbance impedes connectivity for native populations by altering natural movement patterns, significantly increasing the risk of population decline. The Mojave Desert historically exhibited high ecological connectivity, but human presence has increased recently, as has habitat disturbance. Human land use primarily occurs in Mojave desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) habitat posing risks to the federally threatened species, which has declined as a result. As threats intensify, so does the need to protect tortoise habitat and connectivity. Functional corridors require appropriate habitat amounts and population densities, as individuals may need time to achieve connectivity and find mates. Developments in tortoise habitat have not been well studied, and understanding the relationship between barriers, corridors, population density, and gene flow is an important step towards species recovery.

It has occupied a criti- cal structural position in the western Cordillera since Mesozoic time. In the Cretaceous through early Tertiary, it stood just east and north of major fold and thrust belts and also marked the northern end of a broad, gently (~15o) north-plunging uplift (Kingman arch) that extended southeastward through much of central Arizona. Mesozoic and Paleozoic strata were stripped from the arch by northeast-flowing streams. Peraluminous 65 to 73 Ma granites were emplaced at depths of at least 10 km and exposed in the core of the arch by earliest Miocene time. Calc-alkaline magmatism swept northward through the northern Colorado River extensional corridor during early to middle Miocene time, beginning at ~22 Ma in the south and ~12 Ma in the north.

    THOMAS CONNELLY ET AL. IBLA 81-344 Decided August 17, 1982 Appeal from decision of the Nevada State Office, Bureau of Land Management, rejecting in part oil and gas lease offer N-30806. Affirmed. 1. Oil and Gas Leases: Discretion to Lease The Secretary of the Interior may, in his discretion, reject any offer to lease public lands for oil and gas upon a determination, supported by facts of record, that the leasing would not be in the public interest because it is incompatible with uses of the lands which are worthy of preservation. APPEARANCES: C. M. Peterson, Esq., Denver, Colorado, for appellants. OPINION BY ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE BURSKI Thomas H. Connelly and Robert W. David appeal from a January 15, 1981, decision of the Nevada State Office, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), rejecting in part their oil and gas lease offer N-30806. BLM rejected the offer insofar as it concerned land in sec. 6: lots 8 and 9, S 1/2 NE 1/4, SE 1/4; sec. 7: E 1/2; sec. 18: E 1/2; and accepted the offer only as to sec. 28, all in T. 27 S., R. 63 E., Mount Diablo meridian, Clark County, Nevada. 1/ BLM listed the following reason for partial rejection: According to Stateline EAR of the Las Vegas District Office, these lands have been designated as part of the 'Highland Range Crucial Bighorn Habitat Area' (CFR 2071-1). Because these lands have been identified as crucial to the survival of a bighorn herd, they have been closed to oil, gas and geothermal exploration and leasing.

  • 3. Affected Environment
    3. Affected Environment 3.1 Introduction This chapter provides a description of the existing social, economic, and environmental settings for the area affected by the three build alternatives and the No Build Alternative. The affected environment is described for each resource of concern in the Boulder City/ U.S. 93 Corridor Study project area. The discussion contains study methodologies, background information, descriptive data, issues, and values that have a bearing on possible impacts and mitigation measures (described in detail in Chapter 4) and on the selection of the preferred alternative. This EIS was prepared consistent with National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations (40 CFR 1500. et seq) and the FHWA Guidance for Preparing and Processing Environmental and Section 4(f) Documents (FHWA Technical Advisory T 6640.8A, October 30, 1987). This guidance lists potentially adverse impacts most commonly encountered by highway projects and directs that these factors should be discussed for each reasonable alternative where a potential for impact exists. Environmental and socioeconomic factors potentially impacted by the proposed project are analyzed in detail in this chapter. Factors that were found to have no potential for project-related impacts and are not discussed in this chapter are as follows: x Joint Development x Farmland x Wild and Scenic Rivers x Coastal Barriers x Coastal Zone Impacts The following additional technical studies were prepared for the Boulder City/U.S. 93 Corridor Study DEIS, and they are available through NDOT (contact Daryl James at 775/888-7013 for additional information): x Air Quality x Noise x Biological Resources x Water Quality x Wetlands x Floodplains x Archaeological Resources x Historic Resources x Land Use x Visual Resources x Economics x Social Impacts x Hazardous Waste T012004001SCO/ DRD1333.DOC/ 050740004 3-1 3.

    DESERT TORTOISE COUNCIL 4654 East Avenue S #257B Palmdale, California 93552 www.deserttortoise.org [email protected] 12 March 2014 Mark Slaughter, Assistant Field Manager Bureau of Land Management, Southern Nevada District Office 4701 North Torrey Pines Drive Las Vegas, NV 89130, [email protected] RE: Proposed release of captive desert tortoises into the Piute-Eldorado Critical Habitat Unit, Clark County, Nevada Dear Mr. Slaughter: The Desert Tortoise Council (Council) is a private, non-profit organization comprised of hundreds of professionals and laypersons who share a common concern for wild desert tortoises and a commitment to advancing the public’s understanding of this species. Established in 1976 to promote conservation of tortoises in the deserts of the southwestern United States and Mexico, the Council regularly provides information to individuals, organizations and regulatory agencies on matters potentially affecting the desert tortoise within its historical range. The Council formally asked the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to consider us as an Interested Party in the translocation and population augmentation of tortoises into southern Nevada on 14 September 2012 (letter available upon request). What is the status of our request? Are we currently considered an Interested Party for this and other tortoise-related issues on public lands managed by the BLM in Nevada? In September 2012 there was no indication that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) intended to release up to 600 captive tortoises onto BLM lands in the Piute-Eldorado Critical Habitat Unit. The Council only incidentally heard about this intended release at the recent Council Symposium held in Ontario, California on 21-23 February 2014.

  • Boulder City, Nevada City Manager Page 1
    BOULDER CITY, NEVADA CITY MANAGER PAGE 1 BOULDER CITY, NEVADA CITY MANAGER BOULDER CITY, NV (Population: 16,207) Located 30 minutes from Las Vegas airport, Boulder City is a delightful and unique desert town located in the southern tip of Nevada. Boulder City enjoys a distinctive heritage, with its roots beginning with the implementation of one of the most significant public works projects in history -- the Boulder Canyon Project, a monumental federal undertaking resulting in the construction of Hoover Dam. Boulder City is a beautiful high oasis in the desert (elev. 2,400 ft.) with green lawns and many clean, tree-shaded streets overlooking man-made Lake Mead and the Lake Mead Recreation Area. The Safewise report for 2020 has “Clean, Green Boulder City” as the safest city in Nevada. The City of Boulder City is known as the city that housed over 4,000 workers during the construction of Hoover Dam (1931 to 1935). It remains home to some of the families of original Dam workers, fondly called the “31-ers”. The city was supervised and regulated by the Federal Bureau of Reclamation and all land in an around the city was owned by the federal government. In 1958, the federal government passed the Boulder City Act and established an independent municipal government, Boulder City. Under this Act, the federal government turned over the existing government reservation site (approximately 33 sq. mi. of land) and the utility system to the residents of Boulder City. Following many years of extremely rapid growth, in 1979 the city adopted a controlled growth ordinance for the purpose of controlling the rate and distribution of development throughout the community to ensure the adequacy of the City’s facilities and services within acceptable allocation of City revenues.
