Final Environmental Impact Report Volume II Responses to Comments | SCH#: 2015022067 Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District’s South Sacramento County Agriculture and Habitat Lands Recycled Water Program Final Environmental Impact Report Volume II Responses to Comments | SCH#: 2015022067 JANUARY 2017 Prepared by: Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District South Sacramento County Agriculture & Habitat Lands Recycled Water Program Final Environmental Impact Report Volume II Responses to Comments SCH#: 2015022067 Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District South Sacramento County Agriculture & Habitat Lands Recycled Water Program Final Environmental Impact Report CEQA Lead Agency: Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District The Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District (Regional San) has prepared this Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the South County Agriculture & Habitat Lands Recycled Water Program (proposed Project). Regional San proposes to provide Title 22 disinfected tertiary treated recycled water for irrigation and groundwater recharge in the southern portion of Sacramento County (South County) and to the Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) managed wetlands. The EIR considers three action alternatives and the No Project Alternative: Alternative 1, Medium Service Area Alternative - Convey up to 50,000 acre-feet per year (AFY) of recycled water from the Sacramento Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant to 16,000 acres of irrigated lands in South County including water to farmers, 400 acres of managed wetlands within the South Stone Lake area of the NWR, and to a potential 560-acre irrigation and recharge area. Facilities would include a pump station, and up to 13.8 miles of transmission pipelines and distribution mains, and an undetermined length of service lateral connections. Alternative 2, No Reclamation Funding Alternative - Same as Alternative 1 (Medium Service Area Alternative), except Bureau of Reclamation would not provide any funding, this alternative is included to facilitate a possible future request for federal funding. Alternative 3, Small Service Area Alternative - Reduced version of Alternative 1 (Medium Service Area Alternative), with a smaller service area. The managed wetlands at Stone Lakes NWR would continue to be served, and the potential recharge area would be included in order to benefit the Central Sacramento Groundwater Basin. Alternative 4, No Project Alternative - Assumes that the proposed Project would not be constructed and that recycled water would not be supplied to South County, Stone Lakes NWR, or a potential recharge area. The EIR assesses potential environmental effects of the South Sacramento County Agriculture & Habitat Lands Recycled Water Program alternatives and a No Project Alternative on resources including: aesthetics, air quality, agriculture, biological resources, cultural resources, energy, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, noise, population and housing, public services and utilities, recreation, transportation, socioeconomics, and environmental justice.

  • Designing Ocean Parks for the Next Century
    Designing Ocean Parks for the Next Century Gary E. Davis If human stewardship has been lax on land, it has been even worse in the sea. National Park System Advisory Board, 20011 Fishing in national parks FISHING HAS LONG BEEN A TRADITIONAL USE OF NATIONAL PARKS. Fishing has been part of park lore and attraction, from 19th-century commercial cutthroat trout fishing in Yellow- stone Lake to world-renowned sport fishing for tarpon and bonefish in Everglades National Park’s Florida Bay and the annual 70,000-ton take of market squid from Channel Islands Na- tional Park in the late 20th century.2 National Park Service policies that direct fishing have been published for decades, with a stated goal to preserve wild, native species in their natu- ral habitats, while providing fishing opportunities that do not interfere with preservation efforts. Such policies could also have been developed for other “renewable resources” such as birds, bees, and redwood trees, but were not. The removal of marine wildlife in parks still occurred although there is no authority that exempts fish and other aquatic wild life in parks from the protection of the 1916 Organic Act, which directs NPS to “conserve ... the wild life [in parks] and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired....” The 75 ocean units currently in the national park system include large submarine areas of Glacier Bay, Alaska, Dry Tortugas, Florida, and Channel Islands, California, that entered the park system early,in the 1920s and 1930s.

  • Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan Vision Statement
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan Vision Statement Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge belongs to a limited group among the 540 national wildlife refuges that protect fish, wildlife, and habitat within an urban area. Through collaboration with public and private partners, Stone Lakes conserves and enhances a range of scarce Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Central Valley habitats and the fish, wildlife, and plants they support. It sustains freshwater wetlands, wooded riparian corridors, and grasslands that facilitate wildlife movement and compensate for habitat fragmentation. Managed wetlands are of sufficient size to maintain abundant wildlife populations. Grasslands consist of a sustainable mix of native and desirable nonnative species that support a variety of grassland-dependent species. The Refuge reduces further habitat fragmentation and buffers the effects of urbanization on agricultural lands and adjacent natural areas within the Delta region. The Refuge pursues a land conservation program that complements other regional efforts and initiatives. Management efforts expand and diversify habitats for migratory birds and a range of species at risk. The Refuge promotes cooperative farming opportunities and strives to maintain traditional agricultural practices in southwestern Sacramento County that have proven benefits for migratory birds experiencing declines, such as long-billed curlews (Numenius americanus), Swainson’s hawks (Buteo swainsoni) and sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis). Through cooperation with other agencies, conservation organizations, neighbors, and other partners, the Refuge develops and manages wetlands in a manner that reflects historic hydrologic patterns and is consistent with local, State, and Federal floodplain management goals and programs. Stone Lakes was established as a national wildlife refuge because of passionate support from people who recognized its ecological importance and critical role for the floodplain of the Beach-Stone Lakes basin.

  • Identifying Open Research Problems in Cryptography by Surveying Cryptographic Functions and Operations 1
    International Journal of Grid and Distributed Computing Vol. 10, No. 11 (2017), pp.79-98 http://dx.doi.org/10.14257/ijgdc.2017.10.11.08 Identifying Open Research Problems in Cryptography by Surveying Cryptographic Functions and Operations 1 Rahul Saha1, G. Geetha2, Gulshan Kumar3 and Hye-Jim Kim4 1,3School of Computer Science and Engineering, Lovely Professional University, Punjab, India 2Division of Research and Development, Lovely Professional University, Punjab, India 4Business Administration Research Institute, Sungshin W. University, 2 Bomun-ro 34da gil, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea Abstract Cryptography has always been a core component of security domain. Different security services such as confidentiality, integrity, availability, authentication, non-repudiation and access control, are provided by a number of cryptographic algorithms including block ciphers, stream ciphers and hash functions. Though the algorithms are public and cryptographic strength depends on the usage of the keys, the ciphertext analysis using different functions and operations used in the algorithms can lead to the path of revealing a key completely or partially. It is hard to find any survey till date which identifies different operations and functions used in cryptography. In this paper, we have categorized our survey of cryptographic functions and operations in the algorithms in three categories: block ciphers, stream ciphers and cryptanalysis attacks which are executable in different parts of the algorithms. This survey will help the budding researchers in the society of crypto for identifying different operations and functions in cryptographic algorithms. Keywords: cryptography; block; stream; cipher; plaintext; ciphertext; functions; research problems 1. Introduction Cryptography [1] in the previous time was analogous to encryption where the main task was to convert the readable message to an unreadable format.

  • Multiplicative Differentials
    Multiplicative Differentials Nikita Borisov, Monica Chew, Rob Johnson, and David Wagner University of California at Berkeley Abstract. We present a new type of differential that is particularly suited to an- alyzing ciphers that use modular multiplication as a primitive operation. These differentials are partially inspired by the differential used to break Nimbus, and we generalize that result. We use these differentials to break the MultiSwap ci- pher that is part of the Microsoft Digital Rights Management subsystem, to derive a complementation property in the xmx cipher using the recommended modulus, and to mount a weak key attack on the xmx cipher for many other moduli. We also present weak key attacks on several variants of IDEA. We conclude that cipher designers may have placed too much faith in multiplication as a mixing operator, and that it should be combined with at least two other incompatible group opera- ¡ tions. 1 Introduction Modular multiplication is a popular primitive for ciphers targeted at software because many CPUs have built-in multiply instructions. In memory-constrained environments, multiplication is an attractive alternative to S-boxes, which are often implemented us- ing large tables. Multiplication has also been quite successful at foiling traditional dif- ¢ ¥ ¦ § ferential cryptanalysis, which considers pairs of messages of the form £ ¤ £ or ¢ ¨ ¦ § £ ¤ £ . These differentials behave well in ciphers that use xors, additions, or bit permutations, but they fall apart in the face of modular multiplication. Thus, we con- ¢ sider differential pairs of the form £ ¤ © £ § , which clearly commute with multiplication. The task of the cryptanalyst applying multiplicative differentials is to find values for © that allow the differential to pass through the other operations in a cipher.

  • Applications of Search Techniques to Cryptanalysis and the Construction of Cipher Components. James David Mclaughlin Submitted F
    Applications of search techniques to cryptanalysis and the construction of cipher components. James David McLaughlin Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of York Department of Computer Science September 2012 2 Abstract In this dissertation, we investigate the ways in which search techniques, and in particular metaheuristic search techniques, can be used in cryptology. We address the design of simple cryptographic components (Boolean functions), before moving on to more complex entities (S-boxes). The emphasis then shifts from the construction of cryptographic arte- facts to the related area of cryptanalysis, in which we first derive non-linear approximations to S-boxes more powerful than the existing linear approximations, and then exploit these in cryptanalytic attacks against the ciphers DES and Serpent.
