Wetlands are discussed separately in Resource Report 6 – Vegetation. The Kobeh Valley Hydrographic Basin (Nevada Hydrographic Basin 139) is considered the hydrologic study area (HSA) for water resources with a minor amount of extreme southern Pine Valley HSA on the NW portion of the EPO boundary. This hydrographic basin includes Kobeh Valley and the southern Roberts Mountains up to the ridge line separating Kobeh Valley hydrologically from adjacent Pine valley to the north. 4.1.1 Area of Analysis for Direct and Indirect Effects The Proposed Action hydrologic study area for water resources is the Kobeh Valley Hydrographic Basin (Nevada Hydrographic Basin 139 and the northwestern portion of HUC 8 [16060005]) and encompasses Kobeh Valley and the southern part of the Roberts Mountains (Figure 4.1-1). The Proposed Action is located within the northern part of Proposed Action HSA and potentially impacts surface and groundwater resources in the alluvial basin of Kobeh Valley and the bedrock highland areas of the Roberts Mountain at the north end of Kobeh Valley. Two major watersheds located in the northern Kobeh Valley section of the HSA, Coils Creek (HUC 10 [1606000507]) and Roberts Creek (HUC 10 [1606000508]), are pertinent to the Proposed Action. In Kobeh Valley, surface drainage is directed generally from the mountains to the central valley floor and then eastward toward Devil’s Gate, where flow occasionally passes into Diamond Valley via Slough Creek. During dry years, Slough Creek infiltrates into the alluvium of Kobeh Valley. Coils Creek is an intermittent drainage with headwaters in the Simpson Park Mountains, thirteen miles north of the EPO Area. Roberts Creek is a perennial stream that drains the east side of the EPO Area and flows south into Kobeh Valley, where perennial flow ceases as the stream infiltrates into the alluvium of Kobeh Valley (Figure 4.1-1).

Datum: NAD 1983, UTM Zone 11 Gold Bar EPO Figure 4.1-1 Hydrologic Study Area 4.1.2 Data Sources and Methodology Data sources used for the surface water and groundwater analysis are listed below for the Proposed Action. The Mount Hope Project FEIS includes recent analysis and current and complete data on the hydrology of the southern part of the Roberts Mountains and the valley adjacent to Mount Hope, including Kobeh Valley. For this reason, data and figures from the Mount Hope Project FEIS are used throughout the analysis of surface water and groundwater. Surface Water Resources Hydrologic data for surface water resources of Kobeh Valley and the southern Roberts Mountains were taken mainly from the MGold Bar Project FEIS (BLM, 2017) and the USGS National Water Information System (USGS, 2013). Groundwater Resources Information, studies, and data related to groundwater in Kobeh Valley, the southern Roberts Mountains, and the EPO Area included the Gold Bar Project FEIS (BLM, 2017). 4.1.3 Regulatory Framework The regulation, appropriation, and preservation of water in Nevada falls under both state and federal jurisdiction. Surface water and groundwater use are regulated in Nevada by the NDWR. The NDEP and BMRR are responsible for surface water quality and groundwater protection. Approval of the Proposed Action may require authorizing actions from state agencies and federal agencies with jurisdiction over water resources within the EPO Area. WOUS are defined by 33 CFR 328.3 as: all waters which are currently used, or were used in the past, or may be susceptible to use in interstate or foreign commerce, including all waters which are subject to the ebb and flow of the tide; all interstate waters including interstate wetlands; all other waters such as intrastate lakes, rivers, streams (including intermittent streams), mudflats, sandflats, wetlands, sloughs, prairie potholes, wet meadows, playa

  • Hydrographic Basins Information
    A p p e n d i x A - B a s i n 54 Crescent Valley Page 1 of 6 Basin 54 - Crescent Valley Crescent Valley is a semi-closed basin that is bounded on the west by the Shoshone Range, on the east by the Cortez Mountains, on the south by the Toiyabe Range, and on the north by the Dry Hills. The drainage basin is about 45 miles long, 20 miles wide, and includes an area of approximately 750 square miles. Water enters the basin primarily as precipitation and is discharged primarily through evaporation and transpiration. Relatively small quantities of water enter the basin as surface flow and ground water underflow from the adjacent Carico Lake Valley at Rocky Pass, where Cooks Creek enters the southwestern end of Crescent Valley. Ground water generally flows northeasterly along the axis of the basin. The natural flow of ground water from Crescent Valley discharges into the Humboldt River between Rose Ranch and Beowawe. It is estimated that the average annual net discharge rate is approximately 700 to 750 acre-feet annually. Many of the streams which drain snowmelt of rainfall from the mountains surrounding Crescent Valley do not reach the dry lake beds on the Valley floor: instead, they branch into smaller channels that eventually run dry. Runoff from Crescent Valley does not reach Humboldt River with the exception of Coyote Creek, an intermittent stream that flows north from the Malpais to the Humboldt River and several small ephemeral streams that flow north from the Dry Hills. Surface flow in the Carico Lake Valley coalesces into Cooks Creek, which enters Crescent Valley through Rocky Pass.

  • Paleozoic Geology of the Dobbin Summit-Clear Creek Area, Monitor
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF DIANE CAROL WISE for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in Geology presented on August 13, 1976 Title: PALEOZOIC GEOLOGY OF THE DOBBIN SUMMIT- CLEAR CREEK AREA, MONITOR RANGE, NYiE COUNTY, NEVADA Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy son Paleozoic limestones, dolomites, quartz arenites, and other clastic rocks were mapped in the vicinity of Dobbin Summit and Clear Creek in the central Monitor Range. Sedimentary rock units present in this area represent the shallow-shelf eastern assemblage and basin and also the basin-slope facies of the traditional limestone- clastic assemblage. The four oldest, Ordovician, units were deposited in shallow shelf environments. The Lower Ordovician Goodwin Formation is composed of about 1200 feet of calcareous shales and thin-bedded limestones. The overlying Antelope Valley Limestone is about 500 feet thick and consists of wackestones, packstones, and rare algal grainstones.The Copenhagen Formation (135 feet thick) is the highest regressive deposit of sandstone, siltstone, and limestone below the transgressive Eureka Quartzite.The Eureka is a quartz arenite 181 feet thick, with an intercalated shallow marine dolomite member. The transition from shallow to deep water conditions can be seen in the change from algal boundstones to laminated lime mud- stones in the Hanson Creek Formation (190 feet thick).The super- jacent Roberts Mountains Formation (285 feet thick) is composed of lime mudstones and allodapic beds deposited in basinal, deep water conditions.During earliest Devonian

    FINAL REPORT Decision-support tools for conserving Greater Sage-Grouse during fire and fuels management projects in pinyon and juniper woodlands JFSP 09-1-08-4 Erica Fleishman, University of California, Davis (principal investigator) Jeanne C. Chambers, USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station, Reno, Nevada (co-principal investigator) David S. Dobkin, High Desert Ecological Research Institute, Bend, Oregon (co-principal investigator) Brett G. Dickson, Conservation Science Partners, Truckee, California (co-principal investigator) ABSTRACT Prescribed fire and other fuels management treatments have been suggested as mechanisms to slow expansion of pinyon and juniper woodlands while minimizing potential expansion of cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) and increasing habitat quality and quantity for Greater Sage- Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). These treatments also may reduce the probability of severe wildfires, which can have undesirable effects on social, economic, cultural, and ecological values. However, achieving long-term goals related to fire and fuels may conflict with short-term goals related to survival and viability of native species. Fire can fragment high-quality habitat for species associated with woodlands, including more than 20 native species of breeding birds. Additionally, expansion of pinyon and juniper woodlands may have been patchy but common and natural before European settlement of the Great Basin. Evaluation of spatial and temporal trade-offs of actions to reduce probability of wildfire, maintain sagebrush steppe, and conserve native species, including rare or endangered species, can identify strategies that are either consistent or incompatible with achieving these and other objectives simultaneously. We monitored use by Greater Sage-Grouse of areas treated with fire or proposed for treatment.

  • STRATIGRAPHY and STRUCTURE of the SOUTHERN SULPHUR SPRING RANGE, EUREKA COUNTY, NEVADA Redacted for Privacy Abstract Approved: U G
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESES OF Joseph T. Lipka IC for the degree ofMaster of Sciencein Geology presented on April 17, 1987 Title:STRATIGRAPHY AND STRUCTURE OF THE SOUTHERN SULPHUR SPRING RANGE, EUREKA COUNTY, NEVADA Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: U G. Johnson Early Paleozoic limestones and dolomites of the shallow shelf transitional facies belt were mapped in the southern Sulphur Spring Range, Eureka County, Nevada.The four youngest units in the map area are in fault contact with the Lower Devonian rocks and wereprobably transported westward, along a low-angle normal fault. The minoirlal dolomites of the Hanson Creek Formation, dated as latest Ordovician in the map area, were deposited in a low-energy lagoon.Overlying the Hanson Creek Formation, with a gradational contact, is the lower member ofthe Lone Mountain Dolomite, a probable reef complex.The exposed thickness of the lower Lone Mountain Dolomite is estimated to be 250 feet.The Lower Devonian Old Whalen Member of the Lone Mountain Dolomite is composed of well-bedded, alternating brown and gray dolomites.The repetition of rock types in the Old Whalen Member indicates recurring shallow marine environments on a broad carbonate platform.The Old Whalen is estimated to be 1400 feet thick.Directly overlying the Old Whalen Member, is the Kobeh Member of the Mc Colley Canyon Formation.Rocks of the Mc Colley Canyon Formation were deposited on a shallow shelf under normal marine conditions.The mid-Lower Devonian Kobeh Member is sparsely to abundantly fosciliferous and varies from a peloidal wackestone to a peloidal sandy wackestone to a sandy peloidal packstone.The thickness is 276 feet.Overlying the Kobeh Member are the abundantly fossiliferous beds of the lower part of the Bartine.
