Background
At the 1982 Wildlife Council a presentation on this item was given; Exhibit E,
in the Council minutes. The subject was deemed important enough to have its
own standing committee. There was discussion at the subsequent Subtechnical
meetings with results as follows:
Upper Basin Subtechnical Committee: Member states of the upper basin could not
identify evident problems regarding any regulations or endorsement. The wildlife
agencies appear to be handling coordination of boundary matters regularly and
while boating or other administrating agencies may not be meeting regularly,
there does not appear to be the type of concerns identified in the lower basin.
Lower Basin Subtechnical Committee: The issue was considered at the Lower Basin
Subtechnical Committee meeting. A standing committee, chaired by Bill Parsons,
Chief of Law Enforcement, Nevada, reviewed the issue and presented a discussion
of the matter at the Technical Committee meeting on February 2, 1983. Mr. Parsons
will present his report to the Council in Las Vegas.
Report on Acid Rain - Upper Basin Subtech.-Rod Stone, Utah
The Upper Basin Subtechnical Committee was provided a presentation by Mr. John
Turk, U. S. Geological Survey, who has been involved in acid rain investigations
in the west for several years. His report was based on research and communications
with researchers in the eastern United States and individual projects in the
western U.S.
Mr. Turk was firmly of the opinion that acid rain from development is the real
problem and not natural succession. -
