United States, general Series 7. Huber photographs Biographical Information Walter Leroy Huber, the son of Millard Fillmore and Celia (Dill) Huber, was born in San Francisco, California, on January 4, 1883. He attended the public schools of Yolo County, California, and after graduating from Woodland High School, entered the University of California (Berkeley), from which he was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, in 1905. Mr. Huber obtained his early professional experience in structural design as an Assistant Engineer with John D. Galloway. In 1908, he was appointed Chief Engineer of the University of California's building program by Supervising Architect John Galen Howard. Because of his knowledge of hydroelectric design and his familiarity with the mountains (he led parties which were some of the first to climb the Sierra peaks), in 1910 he represented Galloway and Markwart in surveying for a possible hydroelectric project on the Calaveras River. Also in 1910, he was appointed District Engineer for the United States Forest Service, District no. 5, comprising all of the land area in California and southwestern Nevada which was subject to the jurisdiction of the Forest Service. Huber's contact with the Sierra Club, John Muir, and his love of the mountains made him an ardent conservationist. Thus, when the Devils Postpile and Rainbow Falls region was threatened because of an application for the construction of a dam and hydroelectric power development on the San Joaquin River, Huber called the Sierra Club to help prevent the possible desecration which would result. He arranged for a meeting between Club representatives and Henry S. Graves, Chief Forester, and as Forest Service Engineer, Huber surveyed the area to be preserved. As a result of Huber's foresight, President Taft signed the Proclamation creating the Devils Postpile National Monument on July 6, 1911. In March 1913, Huber opened his own engineering office in San Francisco. For the next twenty-eight years, Huber operated as sole principal. In 1941, he chose as his partner, Edward M. Knapik, another University of California graduate. The partnership of Huber and Knapik did extensive work for the University of California at Berkeley, Davis, and San Francisco. Although most active in the structural, hydroelectric, and irrigation areas, Huber undertook special studies in flood control and municipal water supply. He was an authority on earthquake resistance and published works concerning his studies on seismic forces. Concerned also with the utilization of mountain water, Huber acted as consultant for the Nevada-California Power Company and the Southern Sierras Power Company. During WWI he explored and surveyed the Little Colorado River and Service with the State Engineer's Committee preparing the original report for the Central Valley Project. He was consultant for the California Department of Water Resources on the State Water Plan and for the War Department; he was employed by the City of San Francisco in connection with its Cherry Valley Dam and Hetch Hetchy power development; and was consultant on the Sacramento Municipal Utility District's American River power development. Walter L. Huber papers and WRCA 044 2 photographs On November 11, 1941, Huber was married to Alberta Mann Reed in Los Angeles. In 1954, President Eisenhower named him Advisor to the President on a controversial study of the Arkansas-White-Red River Basins. He also served on the Board of Directors and as Vice President of the California Academy of Sciences. For his professional accomplishments, Huber received the Honor Award of the Building Industry Conference Board in 1953. Walter L. Huber died on May 30, 1960, in San Francisco.

    Troutman Sanders LLP 401 9th Street, N.W., Suite 1000 Washington, D.C. 20004-2134 troutman.com Charles R. Sensiba [email protected] June 17, 2019 Ms. Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 888 First Street, NE Washington, DC 20426 Re: Southern California Edison Company; Petition for Declaratory Order and Request for Expedited Consideration; Project Nos. 67-__, 120-__, 2085-__,2086-__, 2174-__, 2175-__ Dear Secretary Bose: As set forth in the enclosed Petition for Declaratory Order (“Petition”), Southern California Edison Company (“SCE”) respectfully requests the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC” or “Commission”) to declare on an expedited basis that the California State Water Resources Control Board (“SWRCB”) has waived authority under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act1 (“CWA”) for failure to act on SCE’s requests for water quality certification (“WQC”) within the statutorily prescribed one-year time period for all six projects within the Big Creek Hydroelectric System (collectively referred to as the “Big Creek Projects”) that are pending for relicensing before the Commission. For purposes of this Petition, the Big Creek Projects consist of Big Creek Nos. 2A, 8, and Eastwood Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 67); Big Creek No. 3 Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 120); Mammoth Pool Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2085); Vermilion Valley Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2086); Portal Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2174); and Big Creek Nos. 1 and 2 Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2175).2 The Commission’s relicensing of the Big Creek Projects has been delayed for well over a decade—and in some instances for nearly 20 years—due in large measure to SWRCB’s consistent annual direction that SCE submit a withdrawal-and-resubmittal letter for the express purpose of attempting to provide SWRCB another year to act on SCE’s WQC requests.

This thesis studies the rise of violence in SLO, its causation, and effects. The vigilance committee of 1858 represents the culmination of the violence that came from sweeping changes in the region, stemming from its earliest conquest by the Spanish. The mounting violence built upon itself as extensive changes took place. These changes include the conquest of California, from the Spanish mission period, Mexican and Alvarado revolutions, Mexican-American War, and the Gold Rush. The history of the county is explored until 1863 to garner an understanding of the borderlands violence therein. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Page CHAPTER INTRODUCTION…………………………………………………………... 1 PART I - CAUSATION…………………………………………………… 12 HISTORIOGRAPHY……………………………………………........ 12 BEFORE CONQUEST………………………………………..…….. 21 WAR……………………………………………………………..……. 36 GOLD RUSH……………………………………………………..….. 42 LACK OF LAW…………………………………………………….…. 45 RACIAL DISTRUST………………………………………………..... 50 OUTSIDE INFLUENCE………………………………………………58 LOCAL CRIME………………………………………………………..67 CONCLUSION……………………………………………………….

  • Terr–3 Special-Status Plant Populations
    TERR–3 SPECIAL-STATUS PLANT POPULATIONS 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY During 2001 and 2002, the review of existing information, agency consultation, vegetation community mapping, and focused special-status plant surveys were completed. Based on California Native Plant Society’s (CNPS) Electronic Inventory of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants of California (CNPS 2001a), CDFG’s Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB; CDFG 2003), USDA-FS Regional Forester’s List of Sensitive Plant and Animal Species for Region 5 (USDA-FS 1998), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Species List (USFWS 2003), and Sierra National Forest (SNF) Sensitive Plant List (Clines 2002), there were 100 special-status plant species initially identified as potentially occurring within the Study Area. Known occurrences of these species were mapped. Vegetation communities were evaluated to locate areas that could potentially support special-status plant species. Each community was determined to have the potential to support at least one special-status plant species. During the spring and summer of 2002, special-status plant surveys were conducted. For each special-status plant species or population identified, a CNDDB form was completed, and photographs were taken. The locations were mapped and incorporated into a confidential GIS database. Vascular plant species observed during surveys were recorded. No state or federally listed special-status plant species were identified during special- status plant surveys. Seven special-status plant species, totaling 60 populations, were identified during surveys. There were 22 populations of Mono Hot Springs evening-primrose (Camissonia sierrae ssp. alticola) identified. Two populations are located near Mammoth Pool, one at Bear Forebay, and the rest are in the Florence Lake area.

  • Forest Service News
    OldSmokeys Newsletter Newsletter of the Pacific Northwest Forest Service Retirees—Summer 2017 President’s Message—Tom Mulder I appreciate the opportunity to share reflections on my first month as OldSmokeys president. It is an immense honor to connect with you and represent you as the newest president of our wonderful organization. Let’s start by thanking past presidents Jim Rice and Ron Boehm for graciously teaching me the ropes, and by celebrating Kent Connaughton’s election as the future president. What a team! Current News: Regional Forester Jim Peña and the Region 6 troops hosted a WO field review the week of June 6, and several of us proudly represented the OldSmokeys as co-hosts of a midweek evening social. You may remember field reviews from back in the day. It was a grand opportunity to see old friends from the RO and WO, meet new friends participating in the review, and talk with pride about the OldSmokeys. The evening focus was filled with conversations about strong partnerships, including OldSmokeys, as Beth Pendleton filled in for the Chief before his pending arrival. I had the privilege of talking to the entire room of reviewers and reviewees about you, about future retirees, about our partnership with the Forest Service in the Pacific Northwest, and about our wonderful OldSmokey grants and our Elmer Moyer Memorial Emergency Fund which supports Forest Service families in times of need. I took the time to conduct some OldSmokey braggin’ on your behalf. What fun! Recent Reflections: I want to relate an interesting conversation with a friend.

  • Los Angeles County
    Steelhead/rainbow trout resources of Los Angeles County Arroyo Sequit Arroyo Sequit consists of about 3.3 stream miles. The arroyo is formed by the confluence of the East and West forks, from where it flows south to enter the Pacific Ocean east of Sequit Point. As part of a survey of 32 southern coastal watersheds, Arroyo Sequit was surveyed in 1979. The O. mykiss sampled were between about two and 6.5 inches in length. The survey report states, “Historically, small steelhead runs have been reported in this area” (DFG 1980). It also recommends, “…future upstream water demands and construction should be reviewed to insure that riparian and aquatic habitats are maintained” (DFG 1980). Arroyo Sequit was surveyed in 1989-1990 as part of a study of six streams originating in the Santa Monta Mountains. The resulting report indicates the presence of steelhead and states, “Low streamflows are presently limiting fish habitat, particularly adult habitat, and potential fish passage problems exist…” (Keegan 1990a, p. 3-4). Staff from DFG surveyed Arroyo Sequit in 1993 and captured O. mykiss, taking scale and fin samples for analysis. The individuals ranged in length between about 7.7 and 11.6 inches (DFG 1993). As reported in a distribution study, a 15-17 inch trout was observed in March 2000 in Arroyo Sequit (Dagit 2005). Staff from NMFS surveyed Arroyo Sequit in 2002 as part of a study of steelhead distribution. An adult steelhead was observed during sampling (NMFS 2002a). Additional documentation of steelhead using the creek between 2000-2007 was provided by Dagit et al.

  • 3-8 Geologic-Seismic
    Environmental Evaluation 3-8 GEOLOGIC-SEISMIC Changes Since the Draft EIS/EIR Subsequent to the release of the Draft EIS/EIR in April 2004, the Gold Line Phase II project has undergone several updates: Name Change: To avoid confusion expressed about the terminology used in the Draft EIS/EIR (e.g., Phase I; Phase II, Segments 1 and 2), the proposed project is referred to in the Final EIS/EIR as the Gold Line Foothill Extension. Selection of a Locally Preferred Alternative and Updated Project Definition: Following the release of the Draft EIS/EIR, the public comment period, and input from the cities along the alignment, the Construction Authority Board approved a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) in August 2004. This LPA included the Triple Track Alternative (2 LRT and 1 freight track) that was defined and evaluated in the Draft EIS/EIR, a station in each city, and the location of the Maintenance and Operations Facility. Segment 1 was changed to extend eastward to Azusa. A Project Definition Report (PDR) was prepared to define refined station and parking lot locations, grade crossings and two rail grade separations, and traction power substation locations. The Final EIS/EIR and engineering work that support the Final EIS/EIR are based on the project as identified in the Final PDR (March 2005), with the following modifications. Following the PDR, the Construction Authority Board approved a Revised LPA in June 2005. Between March and August 2005, station options in Arcadia and Claremont were added. Changes in the Discussions: To make the Final EIS/EIR more reader-friendly, the following format and text changes have been made: Discussion of a Transportation Systems Management (TSM) Alternative has been deleted since the LPA decision in August 2004 eliminated it as a potential preferred alternative.
