Statistical characterization of the federal geothermal leasing and permitting program. Final report, April 18, 1978-January 31, 1979

Description: The ineffectiveness thus far in the federal geothermal leasing program is documented. Leases have been issued on only 18% of non-competitive applications on land under BLM jurisdiction and 2% of applied-for National Forest land. It has taken an average of about two years to get a lease, although the time lapses involved are extremely erratic, and many applications have been pending since January 1974, the first month applications were accepted. Some gradual improvement in BLM performance was de… more

Potential use of geothermal resources in the Snake River Basin: an environmental overview. Volume I

Description: Environmental baseline data for the Snake River Plain known geothermal resource areas (KGRAs) are evaluated for geothermal development. The objective is to achieve a sound data base prior to geothermal development. These KGRAs are: Vulcan Hot Springs, Crane Creek, Castle Creek, Bruneau, Mountain Home, Raft River, Island Park, and Yellowstone. Air quality, meteorology, hydrology, water quality, soils, land use, geology, subsidence, seismicity, terrestrial and aquatic ecology, demography, socioec… more

Systematic method for resource rating with two applications to potential wilderness areas

Description: A versatile method was developed to rate the energy- and mineral-resource potentials of areas in which land-management and resource-development decisions must be reached with a minimum expenditure of money and time. The method surveys published and personal information on resources in the region being assessed, selects the most appropriate information, synthesizes the information into map overlays and tract descriptions, rates the potential of tracts for particular resources, rates the overall … more
