ANNIVERSARY: ARPA
"Anniversary of the Archeological Resource Protection Act - October 31, 1979" (News.bytes Extra)
This week marks the 29th anniversary of the passage of the Archaeological Resources Protection Act. The passage of ARPA was applauded by the archaeological community as it expands the protections provided by the Antiquities Act of 1906, by protecting archaeological resources and sites located on public and Indian lands from looting and destruction of archaeological resources.

 IN THE FIELD
"In the Field" is a video visit with a BLM-California manager at work in the field. In this issue, visit with Kirk Halford at the Fish Slough Area of Critical Environmental Concern as he takes you on a tour of one of the earliest recorded petroglyph sites in the western United States. A fitting way to mark the anniversary of ARPA (above).

RECREATION AND ISSUES
  "Modoc Line to add 85 miles of trail to Northeast California" (News.bytes Extra)
Government and private partners in northeast California gathered along a rugged stretch of the Modoc-Lassen County line to celebrate a new Rail-Trail conversion. The group marked the transfer of an 85-mile stretch of former railroad into ownership of the Lassen Land and Trails Trust. A plan will now be developed to consider uses, non-motorized and motorized, that would be appropriate. The trail route crosses public and private land, with about 50 miles on public land managed by the BLM. Officials hope the route will one day connect to the Bizz Johnson National Recreation Trail (see next item below).

  "Fall colors ride attracts Bizz bicyclists" (News.btes Extra)
Fall has taken hold on northeast California, and the colors are brilliant along the Bizz Johnson National Recreation Trail. The Eagle Lake Field Office's annual fall colors bike ride, a 26-mile cruise from Westwood to Susanville, attracted more than 50 riders on Saturday, Oct. 25. While fall colors are peaking now, there are still plenty of good riding opportunities before winter weather has trail visitors storing their bikes and digging out the cross country skis.

ENERGY ISSUES
  "BLM official tours California energy sites" (News.bytes Extra)

"Large solar energy plant opens near Bakersfield" (San Francisco Chronicle, 10/23/08)
"The first of what could be many new, large solar thermal power plants in California opened Thursday north of Bakersfield, on a patch of private land surrounded by almond orchards. The California Energy Commission is studying proposals for five other large solar thermal plants, capable of generating a total of 1,512 megawatts (enough for more than 1.1 million homes). And the federal Bureau of Land Management, which has jurisdiction over much of the Southern California desert, has received requests from developers to build 34 more plants, with a potential output of 24,000 megawatts.

BrightSource Energy is seeking permission to build three solar-power plants on nearly 6 square miles of federal land along the Nevada state line -- the first ever on Bureau of Land Management property. The BrightSource project is one of dozens seeking to claim more than 1,000 square miles of federal land in California for solar-power generation ... With the potential to be the first large-scale solar plant on BLM property, the complex review is being closely watched since it will set the stage for others that follow. "

Production of steam and hot water from 22 producing geothermal leases on public lands in California generated over 4.1 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity in 2005; enough for over 500,000 people.

ABANDONED MINE HAZARDS
 "Blasts close hazardous 'Southern Belle' abandoned mine" (News.bytes Extra)
Two years ago, the BLM constructed a bat-compatible gate on one shaft of the abandoned Southern Belle mine. But that left 17 more openings at three sites. The openings were so unstable – because of extremely brittle rock and crumbly soil surrounding them -- that it was impossible to construct bat-compatible gates. The openings were too large and on too steep a slope to carry foam for a solid closure. One option: blasting the openings shut.

"Gold mining's toxic legacy earns education effort" (Nevada City Union, 10/22/08)
"In the heart of the Mother Lode ... public awareness remains low on the health risks associated with toxins left behind from historic gold mining operations ... [A] nonprofit community group is beginning to break that silence through education and policy change ... In recent years, numerous state, local and federal land agencies have poured millions of dollars into the clean up of old mine sites. Nevada Irrigation District has started a pilot project to remove mercury laden sediment from one of its reservoirs, the Bureau of Land Management is studying the effects suction dredging by recreational miners has on the release of environmental mercury into the Yuba River, and Empire Mine has spent years cleaning up its trails at the state park."

SOURCE: "Pallid Bat - Antrozous pallidus" (BLM California wildlife database)
Some bats may carry rabies, but not all. In fact, less than 1% of the population carries rabies. The best way to avoid contracting rabies from them is to not handle them. Bats typically only bite in self-defense and will leave humans alone unless provoked.

But as this Halloween approaches, bat experts from the state's Fish and Game Department work hard to demystify these benevolent flying creatures.

Of these, only three thrive on blood, and they find pigs and cows much tastier than humans..."

"Fewer bats this Halloween: Scientists may be closing in on why" (The Boston Globe, 10/30/08)
"Bats are one of Halloween’s most enduring icons, but the mysterious creatures’ silhouettes against the moon are disappearing in the Northeast. A baffling illness has wiped out more than 75 percent of bat populations in the abandoned mines and ice-encased caves where they hibernate. Now, researchers are reporting today in the online edition of the journal Science that they think they are closing in on a cause: A cold-loving soil fungus that seems to thrive on several species of hibernating bats during the winter months. The white fungus is so noticeable on the bats, researchers last year dubbed the sickness 'white-nose syndrome'." The illness has not been found in California bats.
