Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge

i3i6 Das Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge ist ein National Wildlife Refuge, das vom United States Fish and Wildlife Service verwaltet wird. Es befindet sich 140 km nordwestlich von Las Vegas, Nevada im südlichen Nye County. Das 9.300 Hektar (93 km²) große Schutzgebiet ist Teil des größeren Desert National Wildlife Refuge Complex, der ebenfalls das Desert National Wildlife Refuge, das Moapa Valley National Wildlife Refuge, das Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge und die Amargosa Pupfish Station beinhaltet. Das Schutzgebiet wurde am 18. Juni 1984 geschaffen, um mindestens 26 endemischen Pflanzen- und Tierarten einen Lebensraum zu bieten. Vier Fischarten und eine Pflanzenart sind gegenwärtig im Endangered Species Act als „stark gefährdet“ (endangered) gelistet. Die Konzentration endemischen Lebens in Ash Meadows ist größer als in jeder anderen Region in den Vereinigten Staaten und die zweithöchste in Nordamerika. Ash Meadows bietet ein wertvolles Beispiel für Wüstenoasen, die heute extrem selten im Südwesten der Vereinigten Staaten sind. Das Schutzgebiet ist ein Hauptentlastungspunkt für ein riesiges unterirdisches Wassersystem, das sich mehr als 160 km nach Nordosten ausdehnt. Wasserführende Schichten, die in mehr als 30 Wasserreservoiren und Quellen an die Oberfläche kommen, bieten eine reiche, komplexe Vielfalt an Lebensräumen. Im Norden und Westen befinden sich die Überreste der Warmwasserquellen von Carson Slough, die in den 1960er-Jahren durch Torfaufbau entwässert wurden. Im Westen und Süden von Ash Meadows gibt es Sanddünen. Weiter sind zahlreiche Strömungskanäle und Feuchtgebiete im gesamten Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge verteilt. Flora und Fauna Zu den endemischen Fischtaxa zählen der Teufelskärpfling (Cyprinodon diabolis), der ausschließlich im Devils Hole, einem unterirdischen Wasserreservoir vorkommt, Cyprinodon nevadensis mionectes, Cyprinodon nevadensis pectoralis und Rhinichthys osculus nevadensis. Der Ash-Meadows-Killifisch (Empetrichthys merriami) und die Ash-Meadows-Wühlmaus (Microtus montanus nevadensis) gelten seit den 1950er- beziehungsweise 1930er-Jahren als ausgestorben. Eine vom Aussterben bedrohte Süßwasserschneckenart, die in nur sechs Quellen in Ash Meadows vorkommt, ist Pyrgulopsis erythropoma. Die seltene Schwimmwanzenart Ambrysus amargosus hat ein sehr kleines Verbreitungsgebiet in den Point-of-Rocks Springs. Einheimische Pflanzentaxa sind unter anderem Enceliopsis nudicaulis var. corrugata, Grindelia fraxino-pratensis, Nitrophila mohavensis, Astragalus phoenix und Zeltnera namophila. Im Jahr 2010 wurden in Ash Meadows zwei neue Bienenarten aus der Gattung Perdita entdeckt.

Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge

The Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge is a protected wildlife refuge located in the Amargosa Valley of southern Nye County, in southwestern Nevada. It is directly east of Death Valley National Park, and is 90 mi (140 km) west-northwest of Las Vegas. In 1983 The Nature Conservancy purchased 12,613 acres that had been slated for development to protect Ash Meadows. The Nature Conservancy transferred the land to the Fish and Wildlife Service and the refuge was created on June 18, 1984, to protect this extremely rare desert oasis in the Mojave Desert. Ash Meadows is administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Geography The 23,000-acre (9,300 ha) Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge is part of the larger Desert National Wildlife Refuge Complex, which also includes the Desert National Wildlife Refuge, the Moapa Valley National Wildlife Refuge, and the Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge. Inside Ash Meadows is Devils Hole, a detached unit of Death Valley National Park. Ash Meadows is within the Amargosa Desert, of the Mojave Desert ecoregion. The Amargosa River is a visible part of the valley hydrology, and has seasonal surface flow passing southwards adjacent to the preserve, to later enter Death Valley. Natural history Ash Meadows provides a valuable and unprecedented example of desert oases, which have become extremely uncommon in the southwestern deserts. The refuge is a major discharge point for a vast underground aquifer water system, reaching more than 100 mi (160 km) to the northeast. Water-bearing strata come to the surface in more than thirty seeps and springs, providing a rich, complex variety of mesic habitats. Virtually all of the water at Ash Meadows is fossil water, believed to have entered the ground water system tens of thousands of years ago. Numerous stream channels and wetlands are scattered throughout the refuge. To the north and west are the remnants of Carson Slough, which was drained and mined for its peat in the 1960s. Sand dunes occur in the western and southern parts of the refuge. Endemic plants and animals Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge was established to provide and protect habitat for at least twenty-six endemic plants and animals, meaning they are found nowhere else in the world. The concentration of locally exclusive flora and fauna that distinguishes Ash Meadows is the greatest concentration of endemic biota in any local area within the United States. It has the second greatest local endemism concentration in all of North America. Endemic flora There are many plants endemic to Ash Meadows, including: Endemic fauna There are also a large number of endemic invertebrates and fish in the refuge: Discoveries In 2010, Utah State University announced that a team from the school had discovered two new bee species in the genus Perdita at Ash Meadows.

Red Garter Casino

Red Garter is a hotel and casino located in West Wendover, Nevada just west of Rainbow Casino. As of 2022, the Red Garter Hotel remained operated by Maverick Gaming, which is based in Kirkland, Washington. History Red Garter was originally a smaller casino with a connecting Super 8 motel adjacent to it. Red Garter began operation in 1983. In 2004 Holder Hospitality Group purchased the casino from Full House Inc. and retained its current management and staff. As of January 2009 it employed 155 people. With changes in the economy, the gambling industry experienced major losses, and in January 2009, it was announced that the Red Garter was to be closed on March 3. However, the casino remained open and continued operations under the Holder Group. On February 19, 2010, the Holder Hospitality Group filed for bankruptcy protection for the Red Garter Casino. The following Tuesday, February 23, 2010, the casino was sold to the owners of the Wendover Nugget casino. The primary owner became David A. Ensign, half-brother of Senator John Ensign. Following guidelines from the Nevada Gaming Commission and Control Board, Red Garter Hotel & Casino and other West Wendover casinos reopened on June 11, 2020. After two months of emptiness, some slot machines and table games remained closed. As of 2022, the Red Garter Hotel remained operated by Maverick Gaming. In July 2025, Maverick Gaming filed for bankruptcy protection due to corporate financing problems. However, Red Garter and its other Nevada properties are not the focus of the filing and will remain operational. In December 2025, Red Garter Hotel & Casino was indefinitely closed due to flooding, but reopened in April 2026. Features Red Garter underwent renovations in 2010 (while remaining open), and afterwards offered 9 single deck Royal Match Blackjack tables, 1 Double Zero Roulette, 1 Three Card Poker table, and 1 Craps table. A new slot floor was added featuring a new players card system and ticket in/out systems.

It was founded by the Nevada Legislature in 1965. RTC Transit The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) transit fleet consists of 39 routes served by over 400 vehicles. In 2009, RTC Transit carried 57,738,930 passengers in the greater Las Vegas Valley. RTC Transit consists of 33 fixed route service routes, four express service routes, and the Las Vegas Strip route "The Deuce". Services Transportation RTC Transit - All public transportation routes available to the public RTC Paratransit - A service for disabled riders. SilverSTAR & FDR - A service for senior riders. Bikeshare - A bike rental service. Transit Centers and Park & Ride Facilities - Transportation hubs and park and ride lots located throughout the Las Vegas Valley Programs Bike & Ride - A training program to train riders to use a bicycle and buses altogether Club Ride - A free carpooling program.

Security Security on the residential, express, and strip transit routes, and all RTC terminals and select platforms is provided by the private security firm Marksman Security under contract to the RTC. The previous contract holders were Allied-Barton until July 2020 and Wackenhut Security (now G4S) until losing the contract in 2009. Since then, increased crime in the Las Vegas Metropolitan area has prompted an increased security presence in the transit system as a whole. The officers’ primary task is that of fare enforcement, but will also engage in enforcing other RTC policies and rules, to include the removal of loiterers, those causing disturbances, and those posing safety hazards at RTC stops and facilities, and insuring the general safety of staff and customers. On December 15, 2014, a fatal shooting occurred when Christopher Boudinot shot an RTC security officer. The officer returned fire and fatally shot Boudinot. The transit officer was rushed to UMC and eventually recovered while Boudinot was declared dead at the scene.

Reid Gardner Generating Station

Reid Gardner Generating Station was a 557-megawatt coal fired plant on 480 acres (190 ha) located near Moapa, Nevada. It was named after former president of Southern Nevada Power Company (renamed Nevada Power Company in 1961), Reid Gardner. The plant was co-owned by current Nevada Power successor company, NV Energy (69%) and the California Department of Water Resources (31%). It consisted of four units. The first three were 100 MW units and were placed into service in 1965, 1968 and 1976 respectively. The fourth unit, placed into service in 1983, produced 257 megawatts (345,000 hp). Three units of Reid Gardner were shut down in December, 2014; the fourth was shuttered in March 2017. The demolition of the plant occurred in 2019 and was considered complete as of July, 2020. Approximately 6 acres of the site have since been redeveloped into the 220 MW/440 MWh Reid Gardner Battery Energy Storage System. The new facility is a battery energy storage system (BESS) utilizing lithium-ion batteries manufactured by BYD Official ribbon cutting for the new facility took place on April 25, 2024. Controversy Due to its location adjacent to the Moapa Band of Paiute Indians reservation and one of their communities, the plant had long been a concern over the health effects on the nearby residents. As a result of several agreements to improve the air quality around the plant, the upgraded plant was ranked as one of the 10 cleanest coal plants in the US. Concerns have also been expressed over particulates in the air as the plant can be upwind of the Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon. Both of these canyons are Class I areas which place limits on the amount of haze allowed. Greenhouse gas emissions Reid Gardner Station was a major emitter of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas contributing to global warming. California's Department of Water Resources is planning to sell its stake in the plant, and purchase less carbon-intensive electricity as a part of its overall plan to reduce emissions mandated by California law (AB32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006): Electricity from the plant produces disproportionally high amounts of GHGs as compared to other SWP electricity generation sources. Emissions from Reid Gardner for electricity delivered to DWR have typically been over 1.5 million mtCO2e [million metric tonnes CO2 equivalents] per year (30%–50% of total DWR operational emissions). Between 1997 and 2007, the average emissions rate from Reid Gardner for electricity supplied to DWR has been 1.116 mtCO2e/MWh. This is more than twice the emissions rate associated with the general pool electricity from the integrated California market. (CA DWR 2012, page 54) Waste The coal ash from the plant is stored on site in a 91-acre (37 ha) landfill. Ongoing activity As of 2024 environmental remediation for portions of the site, overseen by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP), was ongoing. Notes
