  • Beckstoffer Buys Historic Red Hills Vineyard
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BECKSTOFFER BUYS HISTORIC RED HILLS VINEYARD Beckstoffer Vineyards Purchases the Beringer Clear Mountain Vineyard in the Red Hills of Lake County from Treasury Wine Estates; Renames it Amber Mountain Vineyard January 15, 2019 (Kelseyville, Calif.—January 15, 2019) – Andy Beckstoffer, perhaps the most recognized California grower of wine grapes, announced today that Beckstoffer Vineyards has purchased the 230-acre Clear Mountain Vineyard from Treasury Wine Estates. Beckstoffer will be renaming the vineyard Amber Mountain Vineyard, in recognition of the red volcanic soils of the Red Hills and as a nod to the company’s nearby Red Hills vineyards, Amber Knolls and Crimson Ridge. The vineyard formerly known as Clear Mountain was planted in the 1980’s by Napa’s Beringer Winery and has long been a hallmark for Cabernet Sauvignon production in the Red Hills. Its grape and wine quality influenced Beckstoffer’s decision to begin his Red Hills involvement in 1997, which subsequently began the modern era of premium vineyard plantings in Lake County. Since then, Beckstoffer has steadfastly been committed to proving that the Red Hills can produce ultra-premium Cabernet rivaling the best that California has to offer. After first purchasing land in the Red Hills in 1997, in 2004, Andy Beckstoffer and a group of growers established the Red Hills AVA in 2004. In 2016 Beckstoffer Vineyards announced a new Red Hills wine quality research program with outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon winemakers, the results of which shall be announced later in 2019. Additionally, in 2018, Beckstoffer Vineyards further staked its claim in the area, opening their Red Hills Station office.

  • 6 Historic Resources
    6 historic resources 6.5 Policies and Implementing Actions The Sciaroni Winery and Distillery dates from the 1880s. A range of policies and implementing actions are outlined below and organized into the following topic areas: 1. Protected Historic Resources; and 2. Historic Resources Awareness The policies mandate, encourage or allow certain actions to be pursued throughout the duration of the General Plan. Together, they serve as strategic directions for City staff and partners, highlighting where time and resources should be focused. ST. HELENA GENERAL PLAN UPDATE 2035, APRIL 2016 | 6-13 6 historic resources topic area 1 PROTECTED HISTORIC RESOURCES Policies HR1.1 Preserve the City’s historic and cultural resources, so that they may contrib- ute to the special character and quality of the City and support its economic base. HR1.2 Protect the historic resources that exist in the downtown commercial area. HR1.3 Encourage the adaptive reuse, rehabilitation and retrofit of historic buildings in which the original use is no longer feasible. HR1.4 Promote the application of sustainable building practices to the preser- vation of historic resources. HR1.5 If historic resources are suspected by the City of being present on a pro- sposed development site the City shall conduct a records search at the Northwest Information Center (NWIC) of the California Historical Resources Information System to determine if a project has the potential to affect an archaeologi- cal site and if additional project-specific study for cultural resources is recommended. The City may require additional cultural resources study if rec- ommended by the NWIC, with the study address- ing project-specific impacts on archaeological and paleontological resources.

  • 4.11 Hydrology General Plan DEIR
    4.11 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY This section discusses and analyzes the surface hydrology, groundwater, and water quality characteristics of the County and the proposed project. This analysis addresses impacts to hydrology and water quality and identifies mitigation measures to lessen those impacts. See Section 4.12 (Public Services and Utilities) for a more detailed discussion regarding water supplies and demand. Specifically, this section provides the following information regarding hydrology and water quality that are evaluated in this DEIR: • Identification of current hydrologic baseline of the County associated with surface water and groundwater conditions that includes identification of key watersheds and associated water features, precipitation, flood conditions, groundwater basins and associated conditions of the basins and water quality (see Section 4.11.1 below and Appendix H). • A description of the current federal, state, regional and County policies, regulations and standards that are associated with the hydrologic conditions of the County (see Section 4.11.2 below). • Identification of significant hydrologic impacts associated with the proposed General Plan Update (see Section 4.11.3 below). The impact analysis makes use of hydrologic modeling to identify the type and degree of potential impacts based on a range of potential vineyard development conditions in the future (see Appendix H) as well as consideration of current Napa County Conservation Regulations (County Code Chapter 18.108) and Best Management Practices (BMPs) that are typically applied to mitigate impacts (see Appendix I). 4.11.1 EXISTING SETTING SURFACE WATER Napa County is located within the Coast Range physiographic province northeast of San Francisco. The County is bordered to the east by California’s Central Valley and to the west by the Coast Ranges.

Many of the citizen contributors to this effort have been working for many years to advance the consciousness of the community with respect to wildfire hazards, fuel management and fire safe communities, and it is an unfortunate truth that there remains much to be done. We dedicate this report in the spirit of community service and the example that has been set by these citizens, families, friends, and communities.

  • Konocti Regional Trails Master Plan
    County of Lake Public Services Department Konocti Regional Trails Master Plan January 11, 2011 County of Lake Public Services Department Konocti Regional Trails Master Plan January 11, 2011 PREPARED FOR: County of Lake Public Services Department PREPARED BY: Alta Planning + Design COVER PHOTO BY: Rivers, Trails, and Ron Keas Conservation Assistance Konocti Regional Trails Master Plan Acknowledgements The development of the Konocti Regional Trails (KRT) Master Plan would not have happened without the tremendous amount of volunteer energy and time that went into this project. Holly Harris and Chuck Lamb were the catalysts for this trails effort and have been instrumental in moving the planning process forward over the past two years. Each has contributed countless hours in many capacities – from on-the-ground mapping of land- and water-based trails, to sharing the concept of a countywide network of trails with business owners, service organizations, and property owners, to developing content and creating the KRT web site. Many community members and organizations from across Lake County have stepped forward at various stages to provide valuable input by responding to surveys, attending workshops and meetings, and suggesting and prioritizing trail concepts. This input provided the basis for this plan, which exemplifies a successful grassroots, community-driven effort. Under the guidance and expertise of Barbara Rice of the National Park Service, Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program, the KRT Team had a seasoned trails expert involved from day one. As part of a grant from NPS-RTCA, Ms. Rice provided technical assistance and support to the KRT Team throughout the process.

They all provided me with their knowledge, time and encouragement. THANK YOU! Claire Napawan Steve Greco Rich Marovich Tara Hanlon In addition to my senior project committee members, I would like to thank my parents for all their help not only during this project but for helping through everything! i Abstract This project focuses on Putah Creek as it runs from Lake Berryessa to the Yolo Wildlife Area. It examines the corridor as both a wildlife corridor and as a local trail corridor. With many existing patches of wildlife reserves located along Putah creek, the restoration of riparian forest along the channel will provide full connectivity and functionality to the corridor. On the social scale Putah Creek runs between Winters and Davis. Connecting the existing trails of the UC Davis Riparian Reserve and Winters Putah Creek Nature Park will establish a local trail corridor. This project also examines the need of the design of the trails at Win- ter’s Putah Creek Nature Park to Preserve linear corridors and creating multi-use trails that can allow wildlife movement across the landscape.
