  • Chapter 18 Southwest Idaho
    Chapter: 18 State(s): Idaho Recovery Unit Name: Southwest Idaho Region 1 U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service Portland, Oregon DISCLAIMER Recovery plans delineate reasonable actions that are believed necessary to recover and/or protect the species. Recovery plans are prepared by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and, in this case, with the assistance of recovery unit teams, State and Tribal agencies, and others. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views or the official positions or indicate the approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Recovery plans represent the official position of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service only after they have been signed by the Director or Regional Director as approved. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks.

    ADA HISTORY Flood - May-June 1998 Event Summary: Two weeks of rain fell on a melting melting snowpack, causing flooding along the Snake, Weiser, Payette and Boise River drainages for the second year in a row. A levee break near Eagle Island caused flooding of nearby homes. County Summary: Increased flows in the Boise River due to snowmelt and reservoir discharge caused flooding along the Greenbelt. Two sections of the Greenbelt were closed, from Leadville to the old theatre, and between River Run and Powerline Corridor. Homes in subdivisions along the river flooded, such as at River Run and Wood Duck Island. Barber Park was closed and softball games at Willow Lane Athletic Complex were cancelled. Two large trees that fell into the Boise River caused a breach in the levee at the head of Eagle Island. 60 residents were evacuated, and the Riviera Mobile Home Park and nearby homes and farmlands were flooded with a foot of water.

The journal was patterned after the journal Radiocarbon and covered isotopic age-dating (except carbon-14) on rocks and minerals from the Western Hemisphere. Initially, the geographic scope of papers was restricted to the western half of the United States, but was later expanded. The journal was sponsored and staffed by the New Mexico Bureau of Mines (now Geology) & Mineral Resources and the Nevada Bureau of Mines & Geology.
