  • Requested Information Regarding the Conservation Effluent Pool: City of Tucson Santa Cruz River Heritage Project Application June 2, 2021 Page 2
    The Honorable Chair and Members, Pima County Board of Supervisors Re: Requested Information regarding the Conservation Effluent Pool: City of Tucson Santa Cruz River Heritage Project Application June 2, 2021 Page 2 agreement negotiated by the City and County. That agreement, called the Implementing Agreement, was not signed until 2011. Figure 1. Effluent entitlement “buckets” from the 2000 IGA between City and County The Honorable Chair and Members, Pima County Board of Supervisors Re: Requested Information regarding the Conservation Effluent Pool: City of Tucson Santa Cruz River Heritage Project Application June 2, 2021 Page 3 Response to Questions 1. What does the 2011 Implementing Agreement say? The 2011 Implementing Agreement provides the framework for administration of the CEP as allocations are made. It describes the roles of the Board of Supervisors and Mayor and Council, as well as the CEP Administrators appointed by the City Manager and County Administrator. In the 2011 Implementing Agreement, City and County agreed that CEP allocations for riparian projects proceeding under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) would proceed upon submittal of the required evidence to CEP Administrators. Under the ESA, Pima County has successfully applied for an allocation of CEP to ensure sufficient flows in the Santa Cruz River downstream of the Agua Nueva facility. All other riparian projects not proceeding under the ESA, such as the Heritage Project, require a decision from the governing bodies of both City and County. Project operators are required to identify the vegetation or wildlife habitat that is central to the purposes of their project, distinct from recharge or recreational uses.

  • Environmental and Vegetational Gradients on an Arizona
    ENVIRONMENTAL AND VEGETATIONAL GRADIENTS ON AN ARIZONA PONDEROSA PINE LANDSCAPE: IMPLICATIONS FOR ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION by Scott R. Abella A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Forest Science Northern Arizona University May 2005 Approved: __________________________________ W. Wallace Covington, Ph.D., Chair __________________________________ Peter Z. Fulé, Ph.D. __________________________________ Margaret M. Moore, Ph.D. __________________________________ Carolyn H. Sieg, Ph.D. ABSTRACT ENVIRONMENTAL AND VEGETATIONAL GRADIENTS ON AN ARIZONA PONDEROSA PINE LANDSCAPE: IMPLICATIONS FOR ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION SCOTT R. ABELLA This research was performed in northern Arizona ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests to enhance the ecological basis for restoration projects currently ongoing in these forests. My objectives were to: (i) develop a forest ecosystem classification on a 110,000-ha ponderosa pine landscape, (ii) determine geomorphic and soil gradients associated with the distribution of plant communities on this landscape, (iii) assess potential contributions of the soil seed bank for reestablishing understory communities, and (iv) determine understory responses to forest-floor manipulations in an existing ecological restoration experiment. I identified 10 landscape ecosystem types on this landscape, ranging from black cinders/Phacelia ecosystems low in available moisture and total N, to mesic basalt/Festuca and aspen/Lathyrus ecosystems. Distribution of plant communities was chiefly correlated with soil texture and resource levels reflecting influences of parent materials. Soil seed bank composition was partly ecosystem- specific, and was dominated by graminoids and short-lived forbs such as aspen fleabane (Erigeron divergens). I did not detect any short-term (2 year) treatment effects on understory vegetation in the forest-floor manipulation experiment.

  • Appendix B. Threatened and Endangered Species
    Appendix B. Threatened and Endangered Species This appendix summarizes information on population and habitat trends to date for Federally-listed T&E (threatened and endangered) species with the potential to occur on the NFGT during FY 11. Habitat and population trends are evaluated in relation to the Plan’s requirements, forest and USFWS (United States Fish and Wildlife Service) Recovery Plan implementation and risks to the species. The following table summarizes the status and location of those Federally-listed T&E or (C) candidate species that could potentially occur on the NFGT during FY 11. This table is derived from a combination of information from the USFWS, U.S. Forest Service and other natural resource information. It shows which species are known to occur or have potential to occur near (within counties surrounding) the NFGT. The table is used by NFGT personnel to identify those species potentially present on each respective unit that must be considered during site-specific project analysis. In a letter dated January 8, 2008, the NFGT requested concurrence from the USFWS to no longer consider the following species in Biological Evaluations prepared for projects on the NFGT: Texas Trailing Phlox, American Chaffseed, Houston Toad, Whooping Crane, Interior Least Tern, and the Piping Plover. These species or their habitat were not known to occur on NFGT lands. Concurrence was received from the USFWS on February 8, 2008. Table 1.

  • Responses of Plant Communities to Grazing in the Southwestern United States Department of Agriculture United States Forest Service
    Responses of Plant Communities to Grazing in the Southwestern United States Department of Agriculture United States Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station Daniel G. Milchunas General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-169 April 2006 Milchunas, Daniel G. 2006. Responses of plant communities to grazing in the southwestern United States. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-169. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 126 p. Abstract Grazing by wild and domestic mammals can have small to large effects on plant communities, depend- ing on characteristics of the particular community and of the type and intensity of grazing. The broad objective of this report was to extensively review literature on the effects of grazing on 25 plant commu- nities of the southwestern U.S. in terms of plant species composition, aboveground primary productiv- ity, and root and soil attributes. Livestock grazing management and grazing systems are assessed, as are effects of small and large native mammals and feral species, when data are available. Emphasis is placed on the evolutionary history of grazing and productivity of the particular communities as deter- minants of response. After reviewing available studies for each community type, we compare changes in species composition with grazing among community types. Comparisons are also made between southwestern communities with a relatively short history of grazing and communities of the adjacent Great Plains with a long evolutionary history of grazing. Evidence for grazing as a factor in shifts from grasslands to shrublands is considered. An appendix outlines a new community classification system, which is followed in describing grazing impacts in prior sections.
