  • Lake Tahoe Rent Methodology Study (Final with Public Comments)
    RENT METHODOLOGY STUDY – LAKE TAHOE Prepared for: California State Lands Commission 100 Howe Avenue, Suite 100-S Sacramento, CA 95825 February 21, 2020 Ninette Lee, Public Land Manager California State Lands Commission 100 Howe Avenue, Suite 100-S Sacramento, CA 95825 Re: Lake Tahoe Self-Contained Rent Methodology Study File Name: TDG 2019 048 State of CA Agreement # C2018065 Dear Ms. Lee: Pursuant to your request, I performed an analysis of the benchmark rental rate methodology used by the California State Lands Commission (herein referred to as “Commission” and/or “SLC”) to determine rental rates for over 600 leases in the Lake Tahoe area. These leases include private piers and buoys (Category 1); and upland fill area (Category 2). I have completed the analysis and provided recommendations based on the Scope of Work. I have analyzed market data throughout the State of California in order to prepare the following rent methodology study. This report was prepared for the client, the California State Lands Commission, and authorized representatives, and is intended only for their specified use. The intended use of this appraisal is to assist the Commission in establishing the methodology to determine appropriate rents for those privately-owned piers (berths), buoys, and fill areas on Lake Tahoe. The purpose of the appraisal is to provide recommendations on rent methodology and rates as of July 25, 2019. This rent methodology study was prepared in conformance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (U.S.P.A.P.), and the Code of Professional Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct of the Appraisal Institute.

  • 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.

  • F I N a L Mineral Assessment Report
    BLM F I N A L MINERAL ASSESSMENT REPORT Battle Mountain District Office - Nevada J A N U A R Y 2 0 1 2 This page intentionally left blank Bureau of Land Management Mineral Assessment Report SUMMARY The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Battle Mountain District Office (BMDO) is in the process of revising the district’s Resource Management Plan (RMP). As part of the RMP revision process, the BLM is required to prepare a Mineral Assessment Report providing information regarding mineral occurrences and potential within the BMDO Planning Area (planning area). This report provides an intermediate level of detail for mineral assessment as prescribed in BLM Manual 3060 (BLM 1994). Information presented in this report will be summarized and incorporated into an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed RMP and into the final RMP. The geologic history of central and southern Nevada and the planning area is very complex and includes two major cycles of sedimentation (western and eastern facies sources), episodic thrust faulting, mountain building, and associated intrusive and igneous activity. More recent geologic history includes a period of crustal extension that was accompanied by bimodal (rhyolite-basalt) volcanism, large volume caldera volcanism, and basin and range block-faulting resulting in high-levels of shallow crustal heat flow. The regional and local geologic setting has been instrumental in the location of and potential for numerous economic metallic mineral deposits in the planning area, as well as development of economic geothermal resources. MINING AND MINERAL ACTIVITY IN NEVADA Mineral exploration, particularly for gold, is an ongoing enterprise in Nevada by both operators of existing mines and by other exploration companies.

  • 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.
