9. Water Resources (DoD Question # 258, 274-299):
a. This resource area asks about the condition of ground and surface water, and the legal status of
water rights. Water is essential for installation operations and plays a vital role in the proper
functioning of the surrounding ecosystems. Contamination of ground or surface waters can result in
restrictions on training and operations and require funding to study and remediate. Federal clean
water laws require states to identify impaired waters and to restrict the discharge of certain pollutants
into those waters. Federal safe drinking water laws can require alternative sources of water and
restrict activities above groundwater supplies particularly sole source aquifers. Water resources are
also affected by the McCarran Amendment (1952), where Congress returned substantial power to the
states with respect to the management of water. The amendment requires that the Federal
government waive its sovereign immunity in cases involving the general adjudication of water rights.
On the other hand existence of Federal Reserve Water Rights can provide more ability to the
government to use water on federal lands.
b. NAVAL AIR STATION FALLON, NV discharges to an impaired waterway. Groundwater
contamination is reported. Surface water contamination is not reported. The state requires permits
for the withdrawal of groundwater. Exceedances of drinking water standards are reported, during at
least one of the last three reporting periods.
10. Wetlands (DoD Question # 251, 257):
a. The existence of jurisdictional wetlands poses restraints on the use of land for training, testing or
operations. In the data call the installations were asked to report the presence of jurisdictional
wetlands and compare the percent of restricted acres to the total acres. The presence of
jurisdictional wetlands may reduce the ability of an installation to assume new or different missions,
even if they do not presently pose restrictions, by limiting the availability of land.
b. NAVAL AIR STATION FALLON, NV has no wetland restricted acres on the military installation.
