It is one component of a comprehensive review of the water resources of the basin, completed as part of the River Basin Planning Program under the direction of the Wyoming Water Development Commission. As of this writing, similar groundwater memoranda have been completed for the Bear, Green, Powder/Tongue/ and Northeast Wyoming River basins as part of their respective Planning Program reports. We have followed the lead of our predecessors in terms of the general coverage and data compiled to inform future planning with respect to groundwater resources, while adapting to the specific circumstances of the Snake/Salt River basin and adding additional materials as we thought useful. The text of this memorandum provides general descriptions, summaries, and conclusions. The detailed data upon which these discussions are based are largely contained in the data tables and GIS products attached to the memorandum in its electronic form. We assume that future planners will primarily be addressing individual projects, for which the general discussions will provide reconnaissance-level guidance, but for which the more detailed data will likely be necessary to address unique, site-specific issues. This is by no means the first basin-wide review of groundwater resources in the Snake/Salt River basin. A history and summary results of previous investigations follows this introduction. Much of the material compiled in this report is drawn directly from previous studies, updated as appropriate for the intervening years, and we fully acknowledge the quality and contribution of those works. Following the review of previous investigations, we describe the geologic setting and hydrostratigraphy (the groundwater-bearing units beneath the surface) of the Snake/Salt River basin, then present a discussion of groundwater circulation within the basin. A discussion of groundwater quality, including considerations for the protection of groundwater supplies, completes the overview of the groundwater resource. The past and present level of groundwater development is reviewed, along with trends in groundwater use and changes over time in groundwater levels. The availability of groundwater for future development is also evaluated. The last two sections of the memorandum introduce the research tools developed for this project and the accompanying detailed datasets, and present a comprehensive bibliography of the literature pertinent to groundwater resources investigations in the Snake/Salt River basin. All report figures are included in Appendix A. Appendix B is a detailed table of lithologic and water-bearing characteristics of geologic units in the Snake/Salt River. Three other tables have been compiled in Microsoft Excel electronic spreadsheet form only, due to the size of the tables. The first of these three tables is Appendix C, a tabulation of 5,148 Wyoming State Engineer’s Office groundwater right permits as of the most recent postings to their electronic database (May 29, 2002). The other two tables are in Appendix D and are a compilation of data from the USGS. Snake/Salt River Basin Plan Available Groundwater Determination Page 3 The first spreadsheet in Appendix D, “general”, contains general information, e.g. use, static water level, discharge rate (gpm), etc., for 1,715 groundwater sites monitored by the USGS. The second spreadsheet in Appendix D, “chemistry”, contains data from chemical analyses for 894 wells. USGS groundwater data are current through August 30, 2002, although most of these data were collected under specific research programs of only a few years’ duration. Previous Studies This section presents a summary of the key publications addressing the groundwater resources of the Snake/Salt River basin. Relevant historical data (e.g. groundwater use estimates) are summarized here and these reports have contributed extensively to the data compilations detailed in later sections. The scope of our presentation is insufficient to duplicate all the information contained in previous reports, however. Those interested in specific aspects of the Snake/Salt River basin groundwater resource are encouraged to review these original documents as appropriate. Similarly, only previous investigations of a regional nature are presented, i.e. the antecedents for the present memorandum. An extensive bibliography is included as a final section of this memorandum to cover the extensive related literature of a more site- and topic- specific nature. 1964 - Wyoming Water Resources Inventory This program produced a report for each of Wyoming’s administrative Water Divisions. In the opinion of the Wyoming State Engineer at the time, “the broad picture on use and availability of water in Wyoming is probably more accurately reflected herein than in any previous publication” (p. ii). The Snake/Salt River basin was included in the report for Water Division Number 4 (Smith, 1965). Data deficiencies were identified throughout Wyoming by these reports, e.g. “Determinations of total irrigated acreage within some drainages indicate that there is a wide divergence between the figures used by various government agencies, the official records showing adjudicated water rights, and the evidence on the ground or as reflected on aerial photographs.” (p. ii). The groundwater section of the report for the Snake/Salt River basin reads, in its entirety: “Underground water at the present time is largely restricted to rural domestic and stock watering use.

  • Caribou National Forest Monitoring And
    United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service Intermountain Region Caribou- Targhee National Forest 1 Caribou Monitoring Report: 2002-2003 Caribou - Targhee National Forest Caribou Monitoring and Evaluation Report Abstract The Caribou and Targhee National Forests were officially combined in the spring of 2000. The Caribou zone published an Analysis of the Management Situation in 1999 that identified several Needs for Change. The AMS determined that many of the Caribou’s ecological communities are “functioning but at risk” and the 1985 LRMP management was not adequate to improve these conditions. As a result, the Caribou Plan was revised. On February 19, 2003, Regional Forester Jack Troyer approved the Caribou Revised Forest Plan. Forest managers began implementing the Caribou RFP on May 12, 2003. The monitoring required during the 2003 has not been entirely completed or compiled and will not be reported until 2004. This report touches on most of the functional areas of the Caribou but highlights areas where we have made extensive strides towards enhancing the human and natural environment. At the end of the field season the Forest expects to have completed fish distribution surveys on all perennials streams. These surveys show which streams are “strongholds” for the sensitive Yellowstone and Bonneville cutthroat trout. The Caribou RFP includes new livestock utilization standards designed to enable the Forest to allow grazing while maintaining or improving stream conditions. For the past two years, the Montpelier District has been working with the research division of the Forest Service to develop effective methods for restoring tall forb communities. The Selenium Area-Wide Advisory Committee continues to work on reducing selenium risk in new mining operations and developing methods to clean up areas currently contaminated.

  • Sensitive and Rare Plant Species Inventory in the Salt River and Wyoming Ranges, Bridger-Teton National Forest
    Sensitive and Rare Plant Species Inventory in the Salt River and Wyoming Ranges, Bridger-Teton National Forest Prepared for Bridger-Teton National Forest P.O. Box 1888 Jackson, WY 83001 by Bonnie Heidel Wyoming Natural Diversity Database University of Wyoming Dept 3381, 1000 E. University Avenue University of Wyoming Laramie, WY 21 February 2012 Cooperative Agreement No. 07-CS-11040300-019 ABSTRACT Three sensitive and two other Wyoming species of concern were inventoried in the Wyoming and Salt River Ranges at over 20 locations. The results provided a significant set of trend data for Payson’s milkvetch (Astragalus paysonii), expanded the known distribution of Robbin’s milkvetch (Astragalus robbinsii var. minor), and relocated and expanded the local distributions of three calciphilic species at select sites as a springboard for expanded surveys. Results to date are presented with the rest of species’ information for sensitive species program reference. This report is submitted as an interim report representing the format of a final report. Tentative priorities for 2012 work include new Payson’s milkvetch surveys in major recent wildfires, and expanded Rockcress draba (Draba globosa) surveys, both intended to fill key gaps in status information that contribute to maintenance of sensitive plant resources and information on the Forest. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS All 2011 field surveys of Payson’s milkvetch (Astragalus paysonii) were conducted by Klara Varga. These and the rest of 2011 surveys built on the 2010 work of Hollis Marriott and the earlier work of she and Walter Fertig as lead botanists of Wyoming Natural Diversity Database. This project was initially coordinated by Faith Ryan (Bridger-Teton National Forest), with the current coordination and consultation of Gary Hanvey and Tyler Johnson.

  • Wyoming Plant Species of Concern on Caribou-Targhee National Forest: 2007 Survey Results
    WYOMING PLANT SPECIES OF CONCERN ON CARIBOU-TARGHEE NATIONAL FOREST: 2007 Survey Results Teton and Lincoln counties, Wyoming Prepared for Caribou-Targhee National Forest By Michael Mancuso and Bonnie Heidel Wyoming Natural Diversity Database, Laramie, WY University of Wyoming Department 3381, 1000 East University Avenue Laramie, WY 82071 FS Agreement No. 06-CS-11041563-097 March 2008 ABSTRACT In 2007, the Caribou-Targhee NF contracted the Wyoming Natural Diversity Database (WYNDD) to survey for the sensitive plant species Androsace chamaejasme var. carinata (sweet- flowered rock jasmine) and Astragalus paysonii (Payson’s milkvetch). The one previously known occurrence of Androsace chamaejasme var. carinata on the Caribou-Targhee NF at Taylor Mountain was not relocated, nor was the species found in seven other target areas having potential habitat. Astragalus paysonii was found to be extant and with more plants than previously reported at the Cabin Creek occurrence. It was confirmed to be extirpated at the Station Creek Campground occurrence. During surveys for Androsace , four new occurrences of Lesquerella carinata var. carinata (keeled bladderpod) and one new occurrence of Astragalus shultziorum (Shultz’s milkvetch) were discovered. In addition, the historical Lesquerella multiceps (Wasatch bladderpod) occurrence at Ferry Peak was relocated. These are all plant species of concern in Wyoming. In addition to field survey results, a review of collections at the Rocky Mountain Herbarium (RM) led to several occurrences of Lesquerella carinata var. carinata and Lesquerella paysonii (Payson’s bladderpod) being updated in the WYNDD database . Conservation needs for Androsace chamaejasme var. carinata , Astragalus paysonii , and the three Lesquerella species were identified during the project.

  • EES Wyoming-Idaho Spring Field Course Trip Report
    EES Wyoming-Idaho Spring Field Course Trip Report In May, 2019, 24 EES students and three wizened professors flew to Salt Lake City for a a 12-day field course in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming (with a brief foray into Montana). After arriving late at night and discovering that Dr D had forgotten his driver’s license, then found it and lost it, then found it, then lost it and then found it again, the group set off on a clockwise route with 3 days of thunderstorms and rain in the forecast. Fortunately, a quick stop at the Great Salt Lake (Antelope Island) went smoothly and we were able to see the pretty lake amidst swarms of flies hovering over microbial mats, with views of the distant Wasatch Range and its impressive faulted mountain front. We then drove north into Idaho and turned west to the City of Rocks in the southern Albion Range. We lucked out with the weather and had a marvelous hike in the heavily jointed and weathered granite landscape leaving the students in happy spirits because we had truly entered a very scenic part of the wild west. We arrived late in Twin Falls, but still had time to peek into the Snake River Canyon and watch base jumpers plunging past flood basalt cliffs. The evening began with a group meal at Idaho Joes with burgers and pie slices for most. A medical incident left some people poorly rested for the next day, but after a brief stop at dramatic Shoshone Falls, we raced up to Craters of the Moon where again, we somehow avoided the rain, (although we watched a tornado) and saw all the main sites of the amazingly raw volcanic landscape of the northern Snake River Plain.
