Conservation of the Tortolita Alluvial Fan landscape has been promoted by Pima County and Town of Marana over the past two decades. An interdepartmental team was formed to evaluate flood and debris flow hazards and the potential to create an expanded Tortolita Fan Preserve. This report provides an overview of the alluvial fan characteristics and evaluates information on the significance of the biological and cultural resources to determine of the area meets the criteria to create a federal preserve.
The Augusta Resources Corporation proposes to construct the Rosemont Mine project in the northern Santa Rita Mountains. This report is a reconnaissance analysis of the conceptual flow and water balance in the area. The conceptual flow model for the area is based on topography, geology and precipitation and identifies the likely flow paths in the watershed and aquifer system. The water balance includes estimates of recharge to and groundwater flow from the area; there is no evapotranspiration discharge from the regional groundwater.
The spread of invasive species creates serious environmental problems as well as economic hazards for residents and will hamper implementation of parts of the SDCP.
An assessment of the problems that are presented by non-native and introduced species in maintaining native species and natural systems. Divided into two major sections, the study covers representative ecosystems in Pima County as well as representative species that have a negative impact on native species.
A companion to the study issued on July 5, 2000 entitled 'Cactus Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl Investigations in Pima County.' The major objective was to determine whether pygmy-owls chose nest sites or perch trees with characteristics that differ from other available sites within a nesting territory.
Provides a brief summary of a compilation of resource investigations that have been submitted so far, to help develop the SDCP within the watershed planning area of the Tortolita Fan.
