Southern Inyo County, California covers the area from the village of Independence in the north to the south county line and includes the communities of Shoshone, Death Valley National Park and headquarters, Furnace Creek, Cartagom, Barlett, Stovepipe Wells, Panamint Springs, Keeler, Olancha, Little Lake, Lone Pine, and Lake Owens. The area north of Independence is in Attachment the Western Nevada/Eastern California Operational Area. No broadcast stations in the Northern Inyo County area are able to receive signals from Las Vegas or Reno broadcast stations. Local EAS activations can be made through the use of CAP EAS by originating officials or by going through the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services. Note that these are estimates only and broadcast signals may vary. While this is the Nevada EAS Plan, broadcast signals do not respect political boundaries. Therefore, a realistic Operational Area includes areas of California and Arizona as noted below. Currently areas in other surrounding states including Oregon, Idaho, and Utah are not considered part of the 2-1 Nevada Emergency Alert System Plan Attachment 2. Nevada EAS Operational Areas NVOA for the purposes of this plan, however, broadcast signals originating from these areas may be received. EAS Participants should always consider the source of the signal in making the determination to share the alert. FIPS Codes for the Operational Areas are listed in Attachment 3.

The repository concept uses the philosophy of multiple barriers, both engineered and natural, each of which impedes the movement of radionuclides into the accessible environment. The proposed repository would be in the unsaturated zone in Tertiary tuffaceous rocks. The principal transporting mechanism for radionuclides is moving ground water. Underlying the repository is an extensive Lower Carbonate Aquifer known to be highly permeable. Inyo County, as an affected unit of local government under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, as amended, is concerned with the connections between the Lower Carbonate Aquifer underlying Yucca Mountain and the carbonate sources of waters in Inyo County, especially the Death Valley region. This report is a summary of the investigations conducted by Inyo County’s consultants, the Hydrodynamics Group, during calendar year 1998. This report presents the results of The Hydrodynamics Group’s 1998 collection of water samples from 23 springs and 2 creeks in Death Valley.

This report presents the results of research conducted within this cooperative agreement in the context of Inyo County's Yucca Mountain oversight program goals and objectives. The Hydrodynamics Group, LLC prepared this report for Inyo County Yucca Mountain repository Assessment Office. The overall goal of Inyo County's Yucca Mountain research program is the evaluation of far-field issues related to potential transport, by ground water, of radionuclide into Inyo County, including Death Valley, and the evaluation of a connection between the Lower Carbonate Aquifer (LCA) and the biosphere. Data collected within the cooperative agreement is included in interpretive illustrations and discussions of the results of our analysis. The central element's of this Cooperative Agreement program was the drilling of exploratory wells, analysis of geochemical data, geophysical surveys, and geological mapping of the Southern Funeral Mountain Range. The culmination of this research was two numerical ground water models of the Southern Funeral Mountain Range and Yucca Mountain region demonstrating the potential of a hydraulic connection between the LCA and the major springs in the Furnace Creek area of Death Valley. 1.0 Introduction The focus of the investigations by the Hydrodynamics Group for Inyo County is to assemble the best possible data on the Paleozoic Carbonate Aquifer, and then to use that data to assess the likelihood of contaminant transport from the planned Yucca Mountain high-level nuclear waste repository to the biosphere in Inyo County.

  • Death Valley National Park U
    National Park Service Death Valley National Park U. S. Department of the Interior Visitor Guide Fall 2011 Welcome to Death Valley! Please visit our newly renovated Furnace Creek Visitor Center. This important project, funded by entrance fee income, is leading us to have a lighter footprint in our desert home. Increased insulation, improved air conditioning systems, and solar panels that help us to generate our own power are all part of this project that allows us to be more sustainable in this harsh environment. The Visitor Center renovation, which started in November 2010, was finished earlier than anticipated allowing us to accommodate our growing number of visitors. Our park partner, Death Valley Natural His- tory Association, is quite happy to have a more comfortable space to offer a wider selection of books and items that you can take home with you to remind you of your Death Valley experience. The Visitor Center exhibits are still in production and are expected to be installed in the summer of 2012. In the meantime, take a look at our temporary exhib- its and watch the new park film, narrated by actor Donald Sutherland. Death Valley seems to get busier each year, with barely a lull between our seasons. In 2010, visitation increased by about 15% and we expect one million visitors for the first time since 2001! We are excited that so many people are visiting our National Parks and hope that while you are here, you will take the time to enjoy a ranger program, gaze at an amaz- ing night sky, and look at the footprints of a tiny lizard left behind in the sand of the Mesquite Dunes.

  • Cross Cordillera Field Trip Guide
    GS Field Trip: End of Summer 2016 GS191/291 (Miller, no Klemperer (went to Tibet), Lund Snee, Gottlieb) Listed as Fall Quarter class under Miller Crossing the Cordillera: From the Colorado Plateau to the Sierra Nevada Field trip (1 credit), advanced ugrad to grad level, but all welcome Dates: September 15 to Sept. 21 (T.A. Eric Gottlieb) There is unprecedented controversy about the paleo-topographic evolution of the western United States. How thick and how high was the crust following Mesozoic crustal shortening? Did the region between the Sierra Nevada and the Colorado Plateau form a high plateau, the Nevadaplano, underlain by 60 km thick crust? When did this thick crust collapse to its present crustal thickness of only 30 km? Did extension happen as a result of, during and shortly after crustal thickening? Or did extension take place only in the Miocene, during formation of Basin and Range topography? How much stretching is represented by Basin and Range faulting? Can it account for thinning of crust by 30 km? This field trip will provide you with an exceptional opportunity to view a complete cross-section of the geology of the southern part of the North American Cordillera, from the undeformed Colorado Plateau on the east to Mount Whitney and the Mesozoic Sierra Nevada arc on the west. With these big questions in mind, our stops will focus on Mesozoic shortening, when the Cordillera is believed to have looked like the Andes, and on younger extensional structures (including a variety faults in Death Valley), with a critical view and discussion of age, geometry and offset along normal faults.
