Colin had a profound impact on my early backpacking days and has remained one of my favorite authors. In some respects his work reminds me of Calvin Rutstrum...a couple of decades more modern, and instrumental in the new age of backpacking, but still having a mixture of how-to with wonderful books of dream trips that utilized his techniques.

Schmidt2 with contributions from Maggi Kraft3, Daphnee Tuzlak4, and Alex Walker3 White Paper No. 1 Center for Colorado River Studies Quinney College of Natural Resources Utah State University November 10, 2016 Executive Summary The Fill Mead First (FMF) plan would establish Lake Mead reservoir as the primary water storage facility of the main-stem Colorado River and would relegate Lake Powell reservoir to a secondary water storage facility to be used only when Lake Mead is full. The objectives of the FMF plan are to re-expose some of Glen Canyon’s sandstone walls that are now inundated, begin the process of re-creating a riverine ecosystem in Glen Canyon, restore a more natural stream-flow, temperature, and sediment-supply regime of the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon ecosystem, and reduce system-wide water losses caused by evaporation and movement of reservoir water into ground-water storage. The FMF plan would be implemented in three phases. Phase I would involve lowering Lake Powell to the minimum elevation at which hydroelectricity can still be produced (called minimum power pool elevation): 3490 ft asl (feet above sea level). At this elevation, the water surface area of Lake 1 suggested citation: Schmidt, J. C., Kraft, M., Tuzlak, D., and Walker, A. 2016. Fill Mead First: a technical assessment.

Sixty one years after the dam was approved by Congress, critics continue to Commented [spl1]: Great opener. However the source of the quote needs to be cited. In fact as I look below the first question the initial justifications of, and the continuing need for, Glen Canyon Dam (GCD) and citation comes at the end of the third paragraph. Scholarly the colossal lake it holds back. The Bureau of Reclamation and dam proponents claim that the papers attribute sources next to each idea or fact derived from storage and power created by the dam was and remains absolutely vital to the West (Bureau of the literature. Reclamation, 2008). GCD critics believe that constructing the dam came at too great a cost to the natural environment and it would be beneficial, economically and ecologically, to decommission the dam as soon as possible (Glen Canyon Institute). It is difficult to compare the merits of these opposing stances, especially when considering existence values and criteria that do not have clear costs and benefit value. It is easier to analyze the economic effect of decommissioning GCD, often presented under the option “Fill Mead First”. One the United States’ greatest engineering feats is a story of value tradeoffs and economic uncertainty – pitting water storage, clean power and recreation against ecological health and Glen Canyon’s existence.

  • In This Issue USMC Wounded Warrior “A TALE of TWO BOATS”
    Number Sixteen preserving public access to the Colorado River Winter, 2013 A Tale of Two Boats By Gaylord Staveley Based on excerpts from a forthcoming book on the human history of the Colorado River system and the Grand Canyon. Fifteen years after Major John Wesley Powell’s voyage of discovery down the mainstem Green and Colorado rivers and through Grand Canyon, a thirty year old trapper named Nathaniel Galloway began boating the smaller rivers that ran tributary to the Green in Utah, Wyoming and Colorado. In 1891 he tackled the rapids-filled gorges of Red Canyon, the Canyon of Lodore, a one hundred twenty-five mile section of the Green that end-runs the Uintas and comes back into the Uinta Basin near Vernal, Utah. After running those challenging waters a couple of times, he began looking for a new river. In 1895 he and a companion, probably one of his sons, ran the Green down to the head of Cataract Canyon and then rowed and dragged back upstream to Moab, Utah. In 1896, on a repeat run of the upper gorges, he encountered two prospectors who had gotten boat-wrecked in a formidable rapid called Ashley falls (now buried about two miles up-reservoir from Flaming Gorge Dam). Galloway and one of the men, William Richmond, decided to throw in together and run all the way down the rivers, as Powell had done. Trapping and prospecting as they went, it took them almost five months to go from Jensen, Utah to Needles, California, much of it in the dead of winter.
