Walker River Paiute Tribe’s Long Term

Comprehensive Community Plan

Our grant writers, Traditional Eagle

Solutions (TES), finished developing our

Tribes’ Long Term Comprehensive

Community Plan. This plan was developed

based on survey results found in the Walker

River Paiute Tribe: Agai-Dicutta Numu

Community Survey.

The Walker River Housing

Department paid for the plan to get printed

and framed by Digitex. The plan is located in

the Tribal Conference Room,

Community/Senior Center, Tribal Gym,

Technology Center, and Walker River Health

Clinic. The picture to the right shows the

Agai Diccutta Value Statements from the

plan.

TES are currently writing the 2017

Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation

(CTAS) Grant for our Tribe. The grant will

encompass five significant purpose areas:

(1) Public Safety & Community Policing, (2)

Justice Systems and Alcohol & Substance

Abuse, (5) Violence against Women, (7)

Comprehensive Tribal Victim Assistance,

and (9) Tribal Youth Program.

If funded the grant would help to

establish needed services and update our

court and policing efforts to promote safety

and wellness on the reservation.

Geothermal Exploration to Continue By Elveda Martinez,

Water Resources Coordinator

On February 9, 2017 the BIA provided the

Tribe with the final grant documents

approving our application for $684,900

from the Department of Energy and

Mineral Development (DEMD). This will

allow our tribe to complete Phase4 –

Temperature Gradient Drilling on the

reservation. This drilling will prove our

geothermal resource to be developed and

marketed for electrical power generation

and produce economic benefits. Grant

objectives include mud logging,

temperature gradient logging, data

analysis, development of a conceptual

model and an economic feasibility analysis.

These elements will be compiled into a

feasibility report. The scope of work

includes drilling 2-3 temperature gradient

wells in order to characterize the

geothermal resource, environmental

assessment and preliminary economic

feasibility analysis. The previous phases

included: (1) Geothermal Feasibility Study

in 2013 and, (2) Interconnection Feasibility

Study in 2015, and (3) Geophysical Surveys

in 2016. The ultimate goal of the

geothermal exploration is to develop a

geothermal power plant.

Walker River is Flowing! Article Submitted by Jon McMasters

The snowpack in

the Sierra’s that feed the

river are currently sitting at

near 200% of normal

(Basinwide Snowpack

Summary: February 1,

2017, Natural Resource

Conservation Service,

SNOTEL). With the heavy

snowpack and the number

of Atmospheric Rivers

(warm storms that produce

rain at higher elevations),

upstream reservoirs are

being lowered to make

room for the runoff that is

produced as the rain melts

some of the snowpack. The

release of water has

caused large amounts of

water to flow through the

river.

The United States

Geological Survey (USGS)

has gages that measure

both the river flows at

Cubic Feet per Second

(CFS) and their water levels

at Feet Height. Currently

Bridgeport Reservoir is at

69% of their capacity,

Topaz at 73% and Weber at

64%. All of the reservoirs

are currently releasing

water, and water IS

reaching Walker Lake!!!

The Bureau of

Indian Affairs Western

Agency (BIA), is currently

trying to keep Weber at or

near its current level by

matching outflow to inflow.

The flow through Schurz

have steadily increased as

more water passes through

the system. The flows are

moving very fast and the

water is very cold, so

please use caution when

you are near the river.

Though it is

difficult to predict how the

river will react, with the

amount of snowpack, the

general sense is that we

can expect the river to flow

significantly through spring

with recession flows into

the summer.

As of now the

flows are being monitored,

and releases are being

regulated by the BIA Dam

Tenders. There is

continuous communication

with the Water Masters

Office and the National

Weather Service to make

sure we are updated with

the latest weather patterns

or events that may affect

the Walker River Basin.

-Please again be very cautious when you are near the river-

IWD is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political

achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating

gender parity. Every person – women, men and non-binary people – can play a

part in helping drive better outcomes for women. Through meaningful

celebration and targeted bold action, we can all be responsive and responsible

leaders in creating a more gender inclusive world. The World Economic Forum

predicts the gender gap won’t close entirely until 2186. This is too long to wait. So

around the world, IWD provides an important opportunity for ground breaking

action that can truly drive greater change for women.

Top Rail Project By Elveda Martinez, Water Resources Coordinator

Top Rail Solutions, Inc. is proposing a “Trackage Agreement” between the Tribe and their company. It would allow for the movement of non-hazmat railcars going to the Hawthorne base for storage. This company would compensate the Tribe and allottees that have land along the railroad on the Walker River Paiute Reservation. Two community meetings were held, one on the evening of February 22nd and one in the afternoon of February 23rd, 2017. A good turnout of landowners and tribal members attended the meetings. We’d like to thank Patricia E. Hicks and Gina Dini for offering the prayers before the meetings. A presentation by Top Rail Solutions, Inc. President Todd Poland of Pittsburg, Kansas was done and he answered questions on the rail industry. Two other representatives of their company were also there, Kellie Sisler, Executive Vice-President of Business Development and Debbie Bishop their accountant. Army representatives made short statements about their interest in the project. Lieutenant Colonel Scott Bishop was present on Wednesday and Larry Cruz, Deputy to the Commander was present on Thursday. Staff also mentioned that there is currently a Mutual Aid Emergency Agreement in place between the Army and the Tribe. This agreement sets protocol on how rail emergencies would be handled. The base has personnel and resources to deal with such. Last year the Tribe participated in a “table top” emergency exercise with the Base. Dave Larson, General Manager of SOC Nevada, LLC stated that this type of project could be a good opportunity for the base and the communities of Schurz and Hawthorne. Top Rail would be ensured that their rail cars would be in a secure area. It would be huge for companies to come in to the base; one of the benefits is that their rail system has site certification. Victoria Guzman, Tribal Land Specialist, provided information on the land issues and how many allotments and fee parcels would be included in the compensation. The BIA, Gerry Emm, Deputy Superintendent of the Western Nevada Agency was present on Wednesday and Dan Allen was present on Thursday to also provide input and answer questions on land and a potential agreement with Top Gun and the Army.

A funding plan will also be developed for the Tribal share. Please contact me if you have questions on this project at Elveda Martinez ([email protected]); all land questions should be directed to Victoria Guzman ([email protected]); Water Resources Department, P.O.

Flushing Your Water Heater Sediment buildup in your

tank can reduce the discharge pipe

and unscrew the valve from the

water heaters energy efficiency and

also clog your water lines. Avoid

these problems and increase the life

of your unit by flushing the tank once

every year.

Step 1

Turn off the electricity to the water

heater or turn off the gas to

extinguish the pilot. Shut off the

cold-water inlet to the water heater.

Step 2

Connect a garden hose to the tank’s drain valve. Locate the draining end of the hose in an

area that will not be adversely affected by the scalding hot water.

Step 3

With the pressure relief valve open, open the drain valve and allow the tank to drain

completely. Completely draining the tank ensures that you have removed all of the

sediment possible.

Step 4

Clos the tank drain valve, disconnect the hose form the valve and close the pressure relief

valve. Open all the hot water spigots in the house, and turn on the cold water inlet to the

tank.

Step 5

Close each hot water spigot as water begins to flow from it. After all the spigots are

closed, turn on the electricity to the water heater or turn the gas switch to run.

For more information or questions, please contact WRHD Maintenance Crew, Dave

McFalls or Tommy Allen.
