Inyo and Mono counties are moving in different directions regarding the concept of creating a conservation easement that would forestall development on 360,000 acres of land in the Owens Valley owned by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.
While the Inyo County supervisors decided on Tuesday to wait for more information about any proposed easement before even putting the matter on a future agenda, their counterparts in Mono County unanimously passed a resolution supporting the general concept of installing some sort of easement on LADWP's land in Mono County.
The Inyo County supervisors have been unanimous in their lack of enthusiasm for the easement idea, and have not held any public hearings or informational meetings on the topic to gather public input.

 Geologic History of the Long Valley Caldera
This massive eruption resulted in the widespread deposition of the Bishop Tuff and the simultaneous 2- to 3- km subsidence of the magma chamber roof to form the present 17 by 32 km, oval depression of Long Valley Caldera.
The Mono Craters were formed by multiple eruptions of high-silica rhyolite 40,000 - 600 years ago, and the Inyo Craters were formed by eruptions of low-silica rhyolite 5,000 - 500 years ago.
Evidence from both seismic soundings of the crust and studies of the fabric and composition of the lava indicate that these eruptions probably originated from small, discrete magma bodies rather than from a single, large magma chamber of the sort that produced the caldera-forming eruption 760,000 years ago.
