Memorandum of Meeting with community and government representatives from Clovis, New Mexico to discuss the Department of Defense recommendation to close Cannon Air Force Base.

From Introduction: "The Santa Fe Quadrangle, New Mexico, was evaluated to identify and delineate areas and geologic units that exhibit characteristics favorable for the occurrence of uranium deposits. Table 1 shows the three phases of the evaluation and the purpose, length, and man-years spent."

Appendices containing data on the availability of uranium in the Santa Fe Quadrangle to accompany a report on U.S. uranium resources in New Mexico.

Note from Emery asking to keep Cannon open

Operation Keep Cannon Community Presentation dtd 15JUN05. Major presentation including base history, military value matrix, economic impact, COBRA review, alternative scenarios, and Land Commissioner Easements. Hard copies available at BRAC Library sites in Arlington, VA.

"The pilot study has helped lay the foundation for future Brackish Resources Aquifer Characterization System projects by developing a database management system in which variety of data can be stored and processed."

Read and Stevens has proposed the evaluation of the waterflood potential from the Cherry Canyon formation in the NE Lea Field in lea County, New Mexico. Much of the development in this area is approaching primary recovery limitations; additional recovery of remaining oil reserves by waterflood needs to be evaluated. The Cherry Canyon formation is composed of fine grained sandstone, containing clay material which results in high water saturation, and also has the tendency to swell and reduce reservoir permeability--the ability of fluid to flow through the rock pores and fractures. There are also abundant organic materials that interfere with obtaining reliable well logs. These complications have limited oil in place calculations and identification of net pay zones, presenting a challenge to the planned waterflood. Core analysis of the Cherry Canyon should improve the understanding of existing well logs and possibly indicate secondary recovery measures, such as waterflood, to enhance field recovery. Lacking truly representative core to provide accurate analyses, Read and Stevens will obtain and preserve fresh core. The consulting firm of T. Scott Hickman and Associates will then collaborate on special core analyses and obtain additional well logs for a more detailed analysis of reservoir properties. The log …

Executive summary describing study findings regarding the evaluation of transportation improvement needs in the "Ports to Plains" corridor between the Texas/Mexico border and Denver, Colorado via the existing IH 27 corridor between Amarillo and Lubbock, Texas.

Report discussing an investigation of copper deposits in sandstone that were believed to be possibly uraniferous, and uraniferous asphaltite deposits.

Preliminary 16 x 7.5 minute map of Part of the Carrizo Mountains Area, Northeastern Arizona, and Northwestern New Mexico, showing geology, roads, drainage, meridians and parallels, triangulation stations, and air-photo centers and wing points.

From abstract: "Stratigraphic studies of the Triassic and associated formations have been made in southeastern Utah and adjoining parts of Colorado and Arizona. These studies have followed five principal lines of investigation: regional stratigraphy, sedimentary petrology, pebble studies, sedimentary structure studies, and lithofacies studies."

Abstract: A large amount of water leaks through the floor of Lake McMillan to underground solution channels or openings in the gypsiferous Seven Rivers Formation.

This report follows the analysis of uranium samples taken from the southern area of the San Juan Basin, New Mexico.

From introduction: This report describes the results of water and sediment sampling within the New Mexico portions (or western halves) of the Hobbs'and Brownfield, New Mexico/Texas, National Topographic Map Series (NTMS) 1:250 000-scale quadrangles.

Report of reconnaissance of the Albuquerque NTMS quadrangle through water and sediment samples collected from springs, wells, and streams. Samples analyzed for uranium and 42 other elements. This report is limited to samples containing uranium concentrations greater than the arbitrary anomaly thresholds of 5 parts per billion for waters and 6 parts per million for sediments.

From introduction: This report describes work done in the Tularosa, New Mexico, National Topographic Map Series (NTMS) quadrangle (1:250 000 scale) by the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) as part of the nationwide Hydrogeochemical and Stream Sediment Reconnaissance (HSSR).
