“…These developments raise many questions of whether it is possible to deal effectively with the environmental problems when there exist many overlapping agencies trying to solve the same basic problems. 23 The different parts of the government make it impossible for one particular agency to deal with problems at maximum efficiency when the delegation of duty is spread throughout many different organizations. Communication lines are hard enough to establish within one organization without having to worry about communication lines between two different entities.…”

Many current models suggest the solution to environmental problems is comprehensive planning. The purpose of this case study was to examine a major environmental intrusion to identify the important operational elements to the development of a preventive planning model. The elements that are the inhibitors to the development of better planning models are: (1) too many actors, (2) lack of definitional roles among actors, (3) an economic vs. an environmental quality perspective, and (4) focusing upon responsibility for the intrusion and not upon the cleanup.

“…Just when it appeared that the U.S. and Mexico were about to build the E1 Paso dam in the middle 1890's, the Rio Grande Dam and Irrigation Company obtained a charter from the Department of the Interior to construct a private dam near Engle, New Mexico, approximately 150 mi by river upstream of E1 Paso. The Irrigation Company, afflicted by financial difficulties and years of litigation in the courts, was never able to construct the dam at the Elephant Butte site; and its charter expired in 1903 (Clark, 1975(Clark, , p. 1019(Clark, -1031.…”

This volume is a comprehensive field guide to the middle and late Cenozoic geology of the Rio Grande rift region extending from central Colorado south to the international boundary. Initially the book was used on field trips of the 1978 International Symposium on Tectonics and Magmatism of the Rio Grande Rift. Included are two multicolor tectonic maps (1:1,000,000) specially prepared for the symposium, one of Colorado and the other for the rift region of New Mexico, Texas, and Chihuahua. The road logs cover about 1,750 mi of a tour route from Denver to E1 Paso via Santa Fe. Logs are oriented for both northbound and southbound travel. Two additional logs cover the Jemez Mountain and Espanola Basin areas near Santa Fe. Detailed commentaries by 30 contributing authors on the geology and geophysics of 65 stops are included with the road logs. The volume also includes six invited papers on rift geology and geophysics, two correlation charts, selected data on deep drill holes in New Mexico, and heat-flow data for Colorado and New Mexico.
