		Carson, with the rank of Colonel of Volunteers, commanded the third of five columns in Canby's force.

		General Carleton in October 1865 recommended that Carson be awarded the brevet rank of brigadier-general, "for gallantry in the battle of Valverde, and for distinguished conduct and gallantry in the wars against the Mescalero Apaches and against the Navajo Indians of New Mexico."

	Nevada Division of Environmental Protection - Carson River Mercury Site
		Elevated mercury levels in the Carson River drainage basin were discovered in the early 1970s when sampling conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) revealed elevated levels in river sediment and unfiltered surface water from the Carson River downstream from pre-1900 ore milling sites.
		Sources of mercury in the Carson drainage basin and Washoe Valley include mercury imported from the Almaden area of San Jose, California during the Comstock era and, possibly, naturally occurring mercury.
		Because Dayton is located at the mouth of Gold Canyon and on the flood plain of the Carson River, tailings may have been deposited in and around Dayton from other upgradient source areas.

	USGS Activities in Nevada--Carson River Phosphorus
		Many potential sources of phosphorus and sediment exist along the Carson River drainage and the distribution of the sources is changing rapidly as urban development increases.
		Among the sources that may be contributing to the phosphorus and suspended-sediment loads are cattle grazing along the river's edge, land application of treated sewage effluent, irrigation-return flow, ground-water seepage, urban runoff, natural soils, and golf courses.
		The Carson River is the principal source of water supply for irrigation in Alpine County, Douglas County, Carson City, Lyon County, and Churchill County.

	Carson River Project
		Inter-Fluve was contracted by Western Nevada Resource and Conservation and Development to conduct a fluvial geomorphic audit of over 100 miles of the Carson River and both its upper forks, from the California state line to Lahontan Reservoir in the Great Basin.
		The Carson River has a long history of extensive human-induced disturbance; beginning with the Comstock mining era, subsequent forest harvesting in the headwater drainages, irrigation and floodplain development associated with early settlement, and continuing to today with intense urban and suburban development pressures in the previously agrarian river valley.
		The results of these historic and current pressures, combined with recent and damaging flooding, has left the Carson River in a very unstable state.

		Today, the mercury is in the sediments and adjacent flood plain of the Carson River and in the sediments of Lahontan Reservoir, Carson Lake, Stillwater Wildlife Refuge, and Indian Lakes.
		Mercury-contaminated sediments in the Carson River, Lahontan Reservoir, Carson Lake, and Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge are the cause of elevated levels of mercury in fish and wildlife in and near the contaminated areas.
