Dear ARC folks,
The Tonto National Forest (TNF) has prepared a “Draft ForestPlan” and an associated draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). 
The Conservation Committee of the Arizona Riparian Councilis preparing comments on this DEIS and Draft Forest Plan.  Comments to TNF are due by March 12, 2020.

The Committee invites members of the Council to participatein the preparation of ARC’s comments. You can participate by reviewing the massive TNF documents, but focus especiallythe much smaller sections pertaining to the impacts and proposed management ofstreams, springs, watersheds, and riparian areas.  We’re reviewing two separate documents: thedraft plan, and the DEIS.

Dear Lovers of Arizona's Riparian Areas-

As part of the Tonto's Forest Plan Revision I have been reviewing their Wild and Scenic River eligibility analysis. I have some concerns with their process, one of them being that they have downgraded rivers from their previously eligible status despite the fact that recreation, drought, and livestock stress is higher than ever and little has actually changed to justify that these rivers are no longer are worthy of eligibility.

"ASWM believes that an alarming percent of the nation's waters would be deregulated under the proposed rule."

"...the loss of protection of the nation's waters associated with this rule is excessive, is inconsistent with the stated goals of the CWA, and ... it has not been justified by the federal agencies." 

[More ...]

"The State supports the proposed rule and thanks the EPA and USACE for their diligent work to produce a rule that is much clearer, and in our opinion, more consistent with the congressional intent of the Clean Water Act...."

"Assignment of jurisdictional status to ephemeral waterways under the current rule--especially the "braided channels" commonly associated with alluvial fan systems commonly found throughout the State--can strip a parcel of sufficient contiguous farmable or developable land. A crop farmer or residential homebuilder can find their land rendered virtually unusable and worthless, making a WOTUS jurisdictional determination a regulatory taking without compensation."

The article linked below explains that, despite its denials, the administration has looked at how many ephemeral streams and wetlands would lose CWA protection under the proposed rule, and it's a lot, especially within the "Arid West."

Quoting from the story:

The ADEQ openly acknowledged that it is trying to move quickly, and that it is operating on the assumption that ADEQ should take over the permitting process and not, as environmentalists like Bahr would prefer, as though it were on a fact-finding mission to determine whether the agency even should take over.

Today the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced new national guidance that is likely to accelerate the removal of obsolete dams to meet the goals of the Clean Water Act. The guidance is relevant for smaller culverts, not just large dams.

Dams and other obstructions adversely affect stream functions by altering the stream's hydrologic, sediment transport and nutrient cycling processes. Removing dams and other obstructions can, to a substantial degree, reverse the impacts of those structures on riverine systems and provide environmental benefits while concurrently addressing public safety concerns associated with aging infrastructure. The removal of obsolete dams and other

The riparian vegetation hosts a huge array of species, including the federally listed yellow-billed cuckoo. Black bears, and troops of coati use the area, as well as many other species.

Dear arborists, sustainability and riparian contacts,

We are about to run a Green Infrastructure assessment at PAG to create a
regional plan.

We are looking for height to include in the definition of arid-land
vegetation canopy that can be used as a standard. We are looking for
consensus among expert contacts, sources of information that define average
canopy in the desert, or sources that have already set a standard for the
lower threshold defining canopy of desert trees (i.e. minimum height at
which vegetation should be considered canopy).
