Idaho’s Potato Belt
The same hotspot that created the plain now fuels the geysers in Yellowstone National Park, located just northeast of the plain. The western part of the plain is a graben—a piece of land that has sunk between parallel faults in the Earth’s crust.

July 11, 2022JPEG

Evidence of this volcanic activity can be seen in these natural-color images, which show fingers of basaltic lava reaching into farm fields. The 5,000-year-old lava field, called Hell’s Half Acre, resembles a flat moonscape with sparse vegetation.
The top image, acquired on July 11, 2022, with the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite, shows a wide view of the area and the belt of agricultural land in the Snake River Plain. The second image, acquired on July 11, 2022, with the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8, shows a detailed view of the lava and farm fields around Idaho Falls.
The injection of volcanic materials makes soils in the plain especially fertile for crop production, but the area receives only about 20 to 30 centimeters (8 to 12 inches) of precipitation a year. Potatoes are especially sensitive to drought and center-pivot irrigation is supporting many of the potato fields, as indicated by the green crop circles standing out from barren ground.
The Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR) tracks the state’s water to ensure there is sufficient supply for competing demands. Since the first Landsat satellite was launched in 1972, IDWR has used satellite data to monitor and manage water. According to IDWR, Idaho’s 3.4 million acres of irrigated agriculture accounts for over 98 percent of the water used in the state. In 2000, IDWR and the University of Idaho received a grant from NASA to model evapotranspiration, which has allowed IDWR to efficiently monitor and manage water resources for more sustainable potato production.

How much water is on Earth?
Earth is special because it has so much water. It’s in the ground, forms big oceans, and it’s in our atmosphere.
It’s also in living things. Your body is made up mostly of water.
Water covers 71 percent of Earth’s surface. And almost all of it—96.5 percent—is salt water. 
Salt water has different kinds of salt in it, but it mostly has sodium chloride, the same salt we add to our food.
Just 3.5 percent of the water on Earth is fresh water we can drink. And most of that fresh water, 68 percent, is trapped in ice and glaciers.
A third of the fresh water is in the ground. We call it groundwater. The last two percent of fresh water is in the rivers, lakes, and streams.
A very small amount is in our atmosphere, where it exists as water vapor. That’s what clouds are made of.
If you took all the water on Earth and put it together it would be a ball 860 miles wide. That’s a lot of water!

Public Works - Slurry Seal	

Show All Answers

1.
What is Slurry Seal?

Slurry Seal is a petroleum-based emulsion product, mixed with fine aggregate rock and fillers. It is blended on-site in a large truck, and then applied evenly across the entire surface of an asphalt street. A slurry seal is typically 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch thick. By reusing old tires and tennis balls as the filler and using special emulsion, new technology allows us to apply a slurry solution in the morning and then drive on it in the evening. 	

2.
What does it do?

Slurry Seal provides a new protective surface and smooth driving surface to an existing asphalt street. By sealing the street, the base of the road is protected from water damage and the surface is protected from weathering. This extends the service life of our roadways and cuts down on costly repairs and repaving projects caused by oxidized aged pavement surface that has lost its flexibility. Slurry seal can extend the serviceable life of a residential street up to 40 percent.	

3.
When will my street be slurried?
FAQs • Public Works - Slurry Seal
If your street is scheduled to be slurried, you will be asked not to drive or park on the listed day or to use your sprinklers or water hose. This will help to prevent aesthetic damage to the slurry.	

5.
How will this affect the mail and other services?

It should not affect these services significantly. The Public Works Department coordinates with the Post Office, trash company, and the Police and Fire Departments so reasonable accommodations may be made.	

6.
What will city crews be doing to prepare the streets for slurry seal?

The City’s Street Crew will be sealing cracks and patching street defects prior to the actual slurry seal. These activities may require numerous visits to your street due to the specialized nature of each repair method. This work can be dusty and noisy.	

7.
What will city crews be doing after my street is slurried?

For streets that have road markings and/or permanent pavement markers, the city’s traffic crew will place temporary road markers wherever possible. Within one to two days the traffic crew will begin to repaint all the previous street markings and replace permanent pavement markers. The traffic crew will also locate any sewer manholes that might have been completely covered during the slurry process. 	

8.
Why are small rocks collecting along the edge of my street?

This is a normal short-term occurrence after slurry has been applied. A small percentage of rock does not adhere completely and eventually becomes loose. As cars travel the street, these small rocks are swept to the edge. These rocks will be cleaned up through the city’s weekly street sweeping program.

About Supplemental Environmental Projects

A Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) is an environmentally beneficial project that is included as part of a settlement for environmental violations. Violators can voluntarily agree to undertake such projects in lieu of part of the penalty that they are required to pay for the violations.
To be a SEP, the project must meet certain requirements under the law, as well as any additional requirements established by the individual CalEPA board or department that brought the enforcement action.
Among the requirements, a SEP must be a project that the violator would not otherwise be legally mandated to perform under a federal, state, or local law. A SEP must also improve, protect, or reduce risks to public health or the environment.

CalEPA SEP List

CalEPA compiles a list of SEPs that have been approved by its boards and departments and are available for inclusion in settlements.  CalEPA updates the list annually. 
Projects do not have to be on CalEPA’s list of SEPs to be included in a settlement. Projects will be considered on a case-by-case basis and may be included in a settlement as long as they comply with enforcing board or department’s SEP policy.  

CalEPA SEP List

Submitting an SEP

If you have a project that you would like to have considered for listing as a SEP, please submit your SEP proposal using the CalEPA SEP form. CalEPA will route your SEP proposal to the appropriate board or department for consideration.
Projects that are approved by CalEPA’s boards and departments may be considered for inclusion in settlement agreements with violators. However, whether a project will be funded depends on many factors and is not guaranteed.

Division of Boating and Waterways
No matter where you boat in California, a water adventure awaits you—each one as big and unique as the state itself. It can be majestic as sailing around San Francisco Bay within view of the Golden Gate Bridge, or as heart-thumping as riding the flows of the Lower Kern River. Pick a destination!
 

Pump Out Stations

 Pump it. Don’t Dump it! It’s against the law. Raw sewage can spread disease, contaminate shellfish beds, and lower oxygen levels in water. Marine sanitation devices and pump out stations are readily available throughout the state. You can help by never dumping raw sewage into California waters.
 

Boating News and Alerts

 Important news for boaters is posted on this website. Safe boating updates, waterway closure and construction alerts, boat inspections and environmental news.
 

Register your boat today
 If you own a sailboat over eight feet long or a boat/vessel with a motor (no matter the size), you must register it with DMV in order to legally operate it on California waterways.
