There is a large volume of ground water in transient storage moving through the basin. Ongoing investigations to characterize the basin have determined that it is one of the deepest in the Basin and Range Province. The estimated depth to basement underlying the carbonate rock may be as great as 5 miles.

  • Preliminary Geologic Map of the Enterprise Quadrangle, Washington and Iron Counties, Utah
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PRELIMINARY GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE ENTERPRISE QUADRANGLE, WASHINGTON AND IRON COUNTIES, UTAH By H. Richard Blank U.S. Geological Survey, Denver, CO Open-File Report 93-203 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature. 1993 PRELIMINARY GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE ENTERPRISE QUADRANGLE, WASHINGTON AND IRON COUNTIES, UTAH INTRODUCTION This map is the first to be released of 4 contiguous l:24,000-scale geologic map sheets comprising the area known informally as the Bull Valley district of the eastern Bull Valley Mountains. The district contains abundant low-grade contact metasomatic and jaspillitic sediment-hosted iron deposits, and less abundant but higher-grade vein-iron deposits. All are associated with monzonitic hypabyssal magmatism of early Miocene age, including emplacement of the Big Mountain intrusion, which cores the Big Mountain structural and topographic dome in the southeast corner of the Enterprise quadrangle. Numerous iron mining claims in the district were patented in years past but intensive exploration, including diamond drilling, had ceased by about 1960 and no ore has ever been shipped from the district on a commercial basis. Mineral resources of the eastern Bull Valley Mountains and vicinity include gold and silver in addition to iron. The Goldstrike district, about 18 km southwest of the Enterprise quadrangle, is currently an active gold producer; and until recently the Escalante mine, located a few km north of the quadrangle, was an important primary producer of silver. Ground water is doubtless the most significant non-mineral resource in the quadrangle, sustaining a flourishing agricultural industry in the southern Escalante Valley.

    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTFPinp UNITED STATES GEOLOGicSl OPEN FILE REPORT1967 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Special Projects Branch PRELIMINARY GEOLOGIC SECTION FROM PAHUTE MESA, NEVADA TEST SITE, TO ENTERPRISE, UTAH By P. J. Barosh 1967 Ibis report is preliminary and has not been dited or reviewed for conformity with U. :i. Geological Survey standards and nomenclature. Prepared by the Geological Survey for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Federal Center, Denver, Colorado 60225 PRELIMINARY GEOLOGIC SECTION FROM PAHUTB MESA, NEVADA TEST SITE, TO ENTERPRISE, UTAH By P. J. Barosh ABSTRACT The 154-mile long geologic cross section trends nearly perpendicular to the structural grain of the Basin-Range province in Nevada, and in Utah extends eastward into the transition zone between the Basin-Range and Colorado Plateau provinces. The structure is characterized by complex thrust faults, involving uppermost Precambrian to lower Mesozoic sedimentary rocks, and normal faults which cut the thick sequence of Tertiary volcanic rocks as well as older rocks. Some of the normal faults are the result of caldera collapse. The principal normal faults trend northerly west of Delamar, Nev., and form north-trending basins and ranges. Farther east the principal faults trend northwesterly, and form a moderately rugged highland rather than distinct basins and ranges* The uppermost Precambrian-Paleozoic strata thin markedly eastward across the region. The pre-Pennsylvanian sedimentary rocks vary from 32,500 feet in thickness at the Nevada Test Site (Harley Barnes, E. N. Rinrichs, F. A. McKeown and P. P. Orkild, written commun., 1963) to 4,500 feet in the Beaver Dam Mountains in western Utah (Cook, 1960).

Baumann2,3 ABSTRACT.—Southern Utah comprises 4 major physiographic divisions: the Great Basin, Colorado Plateau, Central Rocky Mountains, and Southern Rocky Mountains, which have been partitioned into faunal regions. We discuss the uniqueness of southern Utah and the amount of land set aside for recreation and preservation, and we encourage the study and preservation of its water resources. The stonefly (Plecoptera) fauna of 13 counties in southern Utah was sur- veyed. We found 58 species representing 34 genera and 8 families. Three new state records for Utah and many new county records for southern Utah are presented, along with a discussion of distribution patterns and faunal affinities of each species.

  • Upper Virgin River HUC - # 15010008 Rapid Watershed Assessment March 2007
    Upper Virgin River HUC - # 15010008 Rapid Watershed Assessment March 2007 This resource assessment is designed to gather and display information specific to the Upper Virgin River eight digit HUC/watershed (#15010008). This report will highlight the natural and social resources present in the watershed, list some specific concerns, and be used to aid in resource planning and target conservation assistance needs. This document is dynamic and will be updated as additional information is available through a multi-agency partnership effort. The general observations and summaries are listed first, followed by the specific resource inventories. Contents Observations and Summary Resource Concerns - Air, Plants, Animals Land Use Resource Concerns - Social and Economic Resource Concerns - Soils Survey Results Resource Concerns - Water Footnotes/Bibliography Introduction The upper Virgin River Basin is comprised of approximately 1.4 million acres and is in the Southwestern corner of Utah. The majority of the basin is public land or urban lands. The United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and National Parks Service (NPS) administer most of the Federal Public Land. The School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) and Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) administer much of the State Land. Major land uses in the basin include range, alfalfa and grass hay, corn and small grains crops, fruit and nut orchards, forest production, and industrial and urban areas. Recreational uses are also common activities both on private and public lands.

  • Acid Deposition in Utah: an Analysis by the Acid Deposition Technical Advisory Committee
    ACID DEPOSITION IN UTAH: AN ANALYSIS BY THE ACID DEPOSITION TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE Presented to: Prepared by: Utah Air Conservation Committee Utah Water Pollution Control Committee November, December 1986 Mark T. Ellis, ADTAC Coordinator Bureau of Air Quality Division of Environmental Health Department of Health TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Table of Contents II. Introduction III. Contributors IV. Executive Summary V. Discussion and Recommendations VI. Technical Presentations VII. Bibliography VIII. Appendix A ix. Appendix B (1) II. INTRODL)CTION Concern over "acid rain" has extended past Scandinavia and eastern North America to areas of the world which were previously believed to be either unaffected or immune from the impact of acid deposition. The potential for acidification in western North America is now under review. State and federal agencies working with environmental issues have expressed the concern that acidification could be more devastating to the Western U.S. than it is in eastern North America. Groups such as the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF, 1984) and the World Resources Institute (1985) have voiced the concern that acidification may be taking place or that the possibility of acidification is so great that western industrial sources of acidic emissions must be better controlled. The state of Utah realized that the study of acid deposition in this state had not been sufficient to know if Utah had an acidification problem. There was also concern that pending federal legislation might be inappropriate for the unique conditions of the West. To determine the status of acid deposition in Utah, Governor Bangerter issued a letter to the Department of Fiealth on November 27, 1985 (Appendix A) requesting that an acid deposition task force be organized to study the issue and to report to the policy-making bodies in the state.
