SAN JUAN PUBLIC LANDS PEOPLE 1 San Juan Public Lands People SAN JUAN PUBLIC LANDS PEOPLE 1 San Juan Public Lands People News for San Juan Public Lands employees, retirees & partners Winter 2009-2010 Issue San Juan National Forest San Juan BLM Field Office Dolores Green Team Receives Regional Award DOLORES - The Dolores Public Lands Office Green Team has received the 2009 USFS Rocky Mountain Re- gional Forester’s Honor Award for Sustainable Opera- tions for initiating the Four Corner’s first public recy- cling program. The Green Team established a grass-roots partner- ship called the Four Corners Recycling Initiative, which works on leveraging in-kind and matching donations. Their efforts have brought recycling opportunities for cardboard, mixed paper and mixed metals to fed- eral and local government institutions, schools, and pri- vate businesses in Montezuma County. An initial grant from the State of Colorado Recycling Resources Economic Opportunity Fund helped the team establish a Web site, develop school education pro- grams, hire an outreach coordinator, and place recy- (From left to right) USFS Rocky Mountain Deputy Regional Foresters Tony cling containers and dumpsters throughout Montezuma Dixon and Maribeth Gustafson, DPLO Forester Ashton Hargraves, former County. BLM Wildlife Biologist Eric Freels, and Regional Forester Rick Cables. “We are very pleased with the success of this com- munity-based partnership and believe it will be sus- tainable well beyond the life of the original grant,” said Jamie Sellar-Baker, Associate DPLO Manager, who nominated the team for the award. Partners include school districts in the Mancos, Dolores and Cortez areas; Towns of Dolores and Mancos; City of Cortez; Crow Canyon Archeological Center; Montezuma County Landfill; and local businesses. Former DPLO Wildlife Biologist Eric Freels and DPLO Forester Ashton Hargrave, who both helped get the effort off the ground, traveled to Denver to receive the award in early December. “It’s quite an honor,” Ashton said. “Our accomplishments are the result of the hard work and dedication of many people. I would like to thank all of our partners for their commitment and my good friend, Eric, for sharing his vision of how to build a community recycling program and inviting me to help him realize that vision.” The Four Corners Recycling Initiative hopes to expand into recycling of other materials and is currently working on a plan to organize into a 501c3 organization, which would allow for future fundraising opportunities. - Toni Kelly For more information visit the Four Corners Initiative Web site at: www.4cornersrecycles.org 2 SAN JUAN PUBLIC LANDS PEOPLE PUBLIC LANDS CENTER NEWS San Juan and Rio Grande Leadership Teams Meet PAGOSA SPRINGS - The Leadership Teams for the San Juan and Rio Grande Service First organizations met together this fall to discuss shared issues.

Jeanie transferred to the San Juan in 1991 as HR Officer. Prior to that, she worked in Region 5 on the Plumas and Cleveland NFs, and on the Klamath NF. During Jeanie’s tenure, the San Juan’s personnel services coverage has ranged from a single HR shop on the San Juan to a Region 2 Southern HR Zone, a San Juan/Rio Grande combined HR shop, a Region 2 HR Service Center, back to a single HR shop on the San Juan, and now to a nation-wide service center. “I’m proud, and somewhat amazed, that I ‘pretty much’ kept my cool and accom- plished work during the many HR reorganizations we’ve experienced on the San Juan,” she says. Throughout her career, Jeanie has participated in fire-suppression support activi- ties across the country. “My first fire assignment was at an air tanker base in North- ern California during my first week of employment in 1973,” she says. Jeanie and Simon Jeanie attended the College of the Siskiyous in Northern California. Retirement plans include moving to Bend, Oregon, to be near her family, and where she looks forward to riding horses and skiing again (on the bunny slopes). She also plans to spend time gardening, volun- teering for animal-rescue organizations, and spending time on the Oregon Coast. “The Human Resources Officer who preceded me worked on the San Juan for 22 years, and I’m leaving after 18-plus years,” Jeanie says. “What better proof that this is a great place to work and live?” -Ann Bond SAN JUAN PUBLIC LANDS PEOPLE 3 PUBLIC LANDS CENTER NEWS Thurman Retires DURANGO - Thurman Wilson, San Juan Assistant Center Manager (ACM) for Planning and Public Services, has retired after 31 years of federal service, 15 which were spent on the San Juan. Thurman moved here from the Rio Grande NF, where he was District Ranger for the Divide RD out of Del Norte and Creede. Prior to that, he was Planning Staff Officer on the Rio Grande NF in Monte Vista. His past career included serving as Economist for the Wenatchee NF, Forester for the Middle Park RD on the Routt NF, Analyst for the Routt NF, Economist for the USFS Washington Office Systems Applications Unit in Fort Collins, and Economist for the Rocky Mountain Regional Office. “I’ve really enjoyed working with great partners during my time on the San Juan,” Thurman says. “Many of my best memories are from working with the Office of Com- munity Services, San Juan Mountains Association, and Mountain Studies Institute. It is great to live in a place where so many people care about public lands.” Thurman and wife, Pam, who also recently retired from the San Juan, plan to stay in the Durango area and get out on the trails with their dogs, Rocket and Sandy. Thurman has an important New Year’s Resolution for his immediate retirement plans. “Not go to meetings!” he says. “Pam and I are looking forward to skiing during the week when it is less crowded. I’m sure I’ll also be ready for some time in the desert soon. There’s also a long list of yard projects waiting for me.” Dave Baker, San Juan Recreation/Wilderness Program Lead, will be acting as ACM for Planning and Public Service on a three-month detail behind Thurman. - Ann Bond Van Retires DURANGO - Van Chanay, San Juan Civil Engineer and Safety Manager has retired. Van started working for the Bureau of Reclamation Civil Engineer in 1976 on the Central Arizona Project in Phoenix. He landed his first USFS job as a Civil Engineer on the GMUG NF in Delta. In 1984 Van transferred to the Dolores RD, first as West Zone Engineer, then Forest Facilities Engineer. He soon moved to Durango to become Forest Facilities Engineer. From 2000 to 2006, Van served as Project Engineer/Manager on two of the largest construction projects in the Rocky Mountain Region - the Dolores Public Lands Office and Durango Air Tanker Base. “We were able to load and fly air tankers off the new base within 10 months of starting construction,” Van says. “The Dolores Public Lands Office was a completely new office complex constructed on 57 acres of some of the most densely populated prehistoric human occupancy sites in the country - so dense we were able to use about 10 acres for the office, warehouse/shop, bunkhouse, roads and parking lots.” Van is a Licensed Professional Engineer and has also served as Type 1 Logistics Section Chief on emergency assignments in 14 states for the Rocky Mountain Incident Management Team. Van holds a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering from Arizona State University. He and wife, Janet, who is already retired, have three grown children: eldest son Gary, wife and son in Mesa, Arizona; middle son Michael and wife in Seattle, Washington; and daughter Erin and husband live in Belle Fourche, South Dakota, who are expecting their first child in February. Van enjoys boating, fishing, camping, travel, gardening and model railroading. His retirement plans begin with traveling to South Dakota in February to see his new grandson, followed by foreign travel, private engineering consulting, and wildfire and incident management assignments. In parting, Van says; “Don’t worry about the computers and all the system changes, they are all just tools to do the real work you were hired to do – which should be worrying about the land and its value to all of us.

  • Mesozoic Stratigraphy at Durango, Colorado
    160 New Mexico Geological Society, 56th Field Conference Guidebook, Geology of the Chama Basin, 2005, p. 160-169. LUCAS AND HECKERT MESOZOIC STRATIGRAPHY AT DURANGO, COLORADO SPENCER G. LUCAS AND ANDREW B. HECKERT New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, 1801 Mountain Rd. NW, Albuquerque, NM 87104 ABSTRACT.—A nearly 3-km-thick section of Mesozoic sedimentary rocks is exposed at Durango, Colorado. This section con- sists of Upper Triassic, Middle-Upper Jurassic and Cretaceous strata that well record the geological history of southwestern Colorado during much of the Mesozoic. At Durango, Upper Triassic strata of the Chinle Group are ~ 300 m of red beds deposited in mostly fluvial paleoenvironments. Overlying Middle-Upper Jurassic strata of the San Rafael Group are ~ 300 m thick and consist of eolian sandstone, salina limestone and siltstone/sandstone deposited on an arid coastal plain. The Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation is ~ 187 m thick and consists of sandstone and mudstone deposited in fluvial environments. The only Lower Cretaceous strata at Durango are fluvial sandstone and conglomerate of the Burro Canyon Formation. Most of the overlying Upper Cretaceous section (Dakota, Mancos, Mesaverde, Lewis, Fruitland and Kirtland units) represents deposition in and along the western margin of the Western Interior seaway during Cenomanian-Campanian time. Volcaniclastic strata of the overlying McDermott Formation are the youngest Mesozoic strata at Durango. INTRODUCTION Durango, Colorado, sits in the Animas River Valley on the northern flank of the San Juan Basin and in the southern foothills of the San Juan and La Plata Mountains. Beginning at the northern end of the city, and extending to the southern end of town (from north of Animas City Mountain to just south of Smelter Moun- tain), the Animas River cuts in an essentially downdip direction through a homoclinal Mesozoic section of sedimentary rocks about 3 km thick (Figs.

  • Summary of Animas River Stakeholders Group History of Watershed Activities 1994 to Present February 2008
    1185690-R8 SDMS Summary of Animas River Stakeholders Group History of Watershed Activities 1994 to Present February 2008 Excerpted from ARSG webpage: The Animas River Stakeholders Group (ARSG) was formed in 1994 in response to the Colorado Water Control Division's (WQCD) re­ evaluation and upgrading of water quality standards for the Upper Animas River Basin. This basin, with the headwaters ofthe river located near the old mining community of Silverton, Colorado, had long been contaminated by both historic mining practices and natural mineralization. With the implementation ofthe new standards, and additional standards put in place in 1995, local participants including mining companies, elected officials, local citizens, land owners, envirormiental groups, and federal agencies came together to address the issues raised by the state. At first, with the diverse interests ofthe groups involved, the process was slow, however they continued to meet, find common ground, and work together for improved water quality in the Animas River Basin. Because the Animas River is a very complex and dynamic ecosystem, it would take several years of research and field work to collect the data needed to improve water quality and habitat degradation that has occurred for so many years. In support ofthe grassroots efforts put forth by the Stakeholders, the WQCC granted an extension ofthe ambient (existing) water quality standards allowing for additional time to complete field studies, consider remediation techniques, and make meaningful recommendations to the Commission, which they did in 2001. After studying 1,500 mine sites in the region, ARSG identified 67 priority waste sites that they judged to be the highest ranking contributors of metals in the Animas River.

  • Delayed and Rapid Deglaciation of Alpine Valleys in the Sawatch Range, Southern
    Delayed and rapid deglaciation of alpine valleys in the Sawatch Range, southern Rocky Mountains, USA Joseph P. Tulenko1, William Caffee1, Avriel D. Schweinsberg1, Jason P. Briner1, Eric M. 5 Leonard2. 1. Department of Geology, University at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY 14260, USA 2. Department of Geology, Colorado College, Colorado Springs, CO 80903, USA 10 Abstract We quantify retreat rates for three alpine glaciers in the Sawatch Range of the southern Rocky Mountains following the Last Glacial Maximum using 10Be ages from ice-sculpted, valley-floor bedrock transects and statistical analysis via the BACON program in R. Glacier retreat in the Sawatch Range from at (100%) or near (~83%) Last 15 Glacial Maximum extents initiated between 16.0 and 15.6 ka and was complete by 14.2 – 13.7 ka at rates ranging between 35.6 to 6.8 m a-1. Deglaciation in the Sawatch Range commenced ~2 – 3 kyr later than the onset of rising global CO2, and prior to rising temperatures observed in the North Atlantic region at the Heinrich Stadial 1/Bølling transition. However, deglaciation in the Sawatch Range approximately aligns 20 with the timing of Great Basin pluvial lake lowering. Recent data-modeling comparison efforts highlight the influence of the large North American ice sheets on climate in the western United States, and we hypothesize that recession of the North American ice sheets may have influenced the timing and rate of deglaciation in the Sawatch Range. 1 While we cannot definitively argue for exclusively North Atlantic forcing or North 25 American ice sheet forcing, our data demonstrate the importance of regional forcing mechanisms on past climate records.

(Church, et al., 2007). The metals of concern include iron, aluminum, cadmium, copper, lead, zinc, arsenic, and nickel. (U.S. Geological Survey, 2007 at 7). The metals loading in the Animas River is due to acid rock drainage. (Yager and Bove, 2007). Acid rock drainage refers to acidic water that is created when sulfide minerals are exposed to air and water to produce sulphuric acid. The acidic water can dissolve area minerals and then deposit metals in rivers like the Animas. (von Guerard,
