  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Hot Dry Rock Geothermal Energy Development Program. Annual Report, Fiscal Year 1983 Author: Smith, M.C. (comp.) Year: 1985 Emphasis was on hydraulic-fracturing experiments at depths around 3.5 km (11,473 ft) in the two inclined wells of the Phase II system at Fenton Hill, New Mexico; on improved facilities and techniques for mapping the source locations of acoustic signals generated by the fracturing events; on mathematical modeling of the fracture systems produced in these and earlier experiments; and on development of a family of slimline high-temperature downhole instruments that can be used within or through relatively small-diameter pressure tubing. Hydraulic fracturing at a vertical depth of approximately 3500 m (11,500 ft) in well EE-2, the deeper well, produced fractures that, in acoustic maps, appear to occupy a large, roughly ellipsoidal volume whose major axis is directed to the north of the other well, EE-3. Hydraulic fracturing from EE-3 at a similar depth produced another set of fractures that appear to be approximately parallel to and centered about 180 m (600 ft) east of the earlier set. Subsequent fluid injections reduced the distance between the two sets, but no hydraulic connection between them was established. Modeling the silica concentrations of fluid circulated through the earlier Phase I system indicates that this type of permeation also contributes significantly to heat extraction during system operation. The precision and accuracy of locating the sources of acoustic signals detected during hydraulic-fracturing operations have been increased by improvements in equipment, drilling of another deep hole for geophone emplacement, and additional station calibrations. Analysis of the signals has also been improved and broadened. Development of slimline downhole instruments has included a detonator tool, a geophone package, and final design of a high-temperature borehole acoustic televiewer. A crosswell acoustic transceiver has also been developed for investigating rock type and structure between wellbores. 32 refs., 35 figs. Title: Hot Dry Rock Geothermal Energy Development Program.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Report on payment capacity for Tule Lake irrigation district, Klamath Project Author: Best, R.R. Year: 1948, 2004 SUMMARY To provide a basis for negotiations of a repayment contract with an irrigation district representing the water users of the Tule Lake Division of the Klamath Project, this report has been prepared. It covers past, present, and anticipated future agricultural and economic conditions and substantiates the proposed district's capacity to repay construction costs for irrigation water as well as to meet operation and maintenance charges It has been prepared according to procedures and policies established pursuant to the Federal Reclamation laws (Act of June 17, 1902, 32 Stat. 388, and acts amendatory thereof and supplementary thereto.) In general, a representative farm budget method of analysis was employed to determine the payment capacity* Gross income of the land was based upon average per acre yields in the area and 1939-44 prices received. Prices of certain crops were adjusted further in accordance with long term outlook for these crops. From the gross income, all farm operating and retention expenses, including cultural and harvesting costs, taxes, insurance, depreciation and replacement, interest on investment, and a reasonable allowance for family living predicated upon the same base period (1939-44) have been subtracted to arrive at payment capacity. Individual consideration has been given to the block of land entered prior to 1948 (the major portion of the area), the lands of the Coppock Bay Area which are principally Class 2, and the undeveloped lands of the area just south of Malin, Oregon, Area C, Plate 1. The annual payment capacity of the irrigable lands entered prior to 1914-8, is determined to be approximately $50 per acre. The Class 2 lands of the Coppock Bay Area are shown to have a payment capacity of $21 per acre, as a result of slightly higher operating costs and probable lower yield or quality of certain crops. For the undeveloped area just south of Malin, Area C of Plate 1, the payment capacity is determined at $18 per acre after development to the extent expected under settlement and development plans currently being formulated The weighted average payment capacity for these areas is calculated to be $26.25 per acre. There is no need for a development period for the lands of the Tule Lake Division, except for the latter area as indicated above. Furthermore, after liberal allowance for farming costs and a reasonable family living, the resulting payment capacities appear to be well in excess of any annual installments likely to be considered necessary for repayment of the District's construction obligation and operation and maintenance charges.

Fish and Wildlife Service, shall have jurisdiction over, and shall determine whether species in the following classes, orders, or groups of animals shall be added to or removed from the lists of endangered species and threatened species or changed in status from either category to the other, and shall list such species in his discretion. All members of the classes Mammalia ( except members of the order Cetacea, and members of the order Pinnepedia, other than Walruses), Aves, Reptilia ( except marine turtles of the families Cheloniidae and Dermochelidae), Amphibia, and all other species ( except species of the orders Cetacea and Pinnipedia, other than Walruses) which either ( i) spend the major portion of their lifetimes on land and/ or in fresh water; or ( ii) are species - 6 - which spend part of their lifetimes in estuarine waters, if the major portion of the remaining time ( the time which is not spent in estuarine waters) is spent on land and/ or in fresh water. 3. ( a) The Director, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Director, National Marine Fisheries Service, shall have joint jurisdiction over, and shall jointly determine whether species of fauna not specifically assigned in paragraphs 1 and 2 above shall be added to or removed from the lists of endangered species and threatened species or changed in status from one category to the other. In the case of addition, removal, or change in status of one of these species, the procedure set forth in paragraph 3( b) shall be followed with all of the appropriate actions to be done jointly, with the concurrence of both Directors, including any notices of review, proposed determin-ations, notifications, hearings, consultations, receipt of comments, and final determinations; provided, that, the Directors may agree in writing that hearings and the receipt of comments may be the responsibility of either Director.
