The Draft Initial Study was circulated for public review and comment from January 26, 2018 to February 26, 2018. A Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration, and Opportunity for Public Hearing was published in the Monterey County Herald on Friday January 26, 2018. The Notice of Intent and Opportunity for Public Hearing was mailed to a list of stakeholders that included both government agencies and private citizen groups who occupy and have interest in the project area. No comments were received during the public circulation period. The project has completed the environmental compliance with circulation of this document. When funding is approved, Caltrans can design and build all or part of the project.

  • Details of Important Plants in Rpbg
    DETAILS OF IMPORTANT PLANTS IN RPBG ABIES BRACTEATA. SANTA LUCIA OR BRISTLECONE FIR. PINACEAE, THE PINE FAMILY. A slender tree (especially in the wild) with skirts of branches and long glossy green spine-tipped needles with white stomatal bands underneath. Unusual for its sharp needles and pointed buds. Pollen cones borne under the branches between needles; seed cones short with long bristly bracts extending beyond scales and loaded with pitch, the cones at the top of the tree and shattering when ripe. One of the world’s rarest and most unique firs, restricted to steep limestone slopes in the higher elevations of the Santa Lucia Mountains. Easiest access is from Cone Peak Road at the top of the first ridge back of the ocean and reached from Nacimiento Ferguson Road. Signature tree at the Garden, and much fuller and attractive than in its native habitat. ACER CIRCINATUM. VINE MAPLE. SAPINDACEAE, THE SOAPBERRY FAMILY. Not a vine but a small deciduous tree found on the edge of conifer forests in northwestern California and the extreme northern Sierra (not a Bay Area species). Slow growing to perhaps 20 feet high with pairs of palmately lobed leaves that turn scarlet in fall, the lobes arranged like an expanded fan. Tiny maroon flowers in early spring followed by pairs of winged samaras that start pink and turn brown in late summer, the fruits carried on strong winds. A beautiful species very similar to the Japanese maple (A. palmatum) needing summer water and part-day shade, best in coastal gardens. A beautiful sight along the northern Redwood Highway in fall.

  • Big Sur for Other Uses, See Big Sur (Disambiguation)
    www.caseylucius.com [email protected] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Big Sur For other uses, see Big Sur (disambiguation). Big Sur is a lightly populated region of the Central Coast of California where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. Although it has no specific boundaries, many definitions of the area include the 90 miles (140 km) of coastline from the Carmel River in Monterey County south to the San Carpoforo Creek in San Luis Obispo County,[1][2] and extend about 20 miles (30 km) inland to the eastern foothills of the Santa Lucias. Other sources limit the eastern border to the coastal flanks of these mountains, only 3 to 12 miles (5 to 19 km) inland. Another practical definition of the region is the segment of California State Route 1 from Carmel south to San Simeon. The northern end of Big Sur is about 120 miles (190 km) south of San Francisco, and the southern end is approximately 245 miles (394 km) northwest of Los Angeles. The name "Big Sur" is derived from the original Spanish-language "el sur grande", meaning "the big south", or from "el país grande del sur", "the big country of the south". This name refers to its location south of the city of Monterey.[3] The terrain offers stunning views, making Big Sur a popular tourist destination. Big Sur's Cone Peak is the highest coastal mountain in the contiguous 48 states, ascending nearly a mile (5,155 feet/1571 m) above sea level, only 3 miles (5 km) from the ocean.[4] The name Big Sur can also specifically refer to any of the small settlements in the region, including Posts, Lucia and Gorda; mail sent to most areas within the region must be addressed "Big Sur".[5] It also holds thousands of marathons each year.

    8/23/2018 ESCTP:: Abies bracteata Fact Sheet A Endangered C N - S L , F - P (P F) S S - F S - Habitat and Associates Discontinuous stands of one to hundreds of trees, generally comprising < 5 ha, in less fireprone areas such as steep, w-, n-, or e-facing slopes in canyons or ravines, often in moist microsites near the bottom or at the head of drainages, often in talus or scree; above 1400 m on all exposures on rocky ridgetops, bluffs, or cliffs; and occasionally on stream benches or terraces. Generally in rocky, clayey, or loamy soil, occasionally on sandstone and serpentine (Talley 1974, CNDDB 2017, CNPS 2016 & 2017). Closed-canopy stands with the shrub layer open to intermittent and a sparse herb layer occur most often within montane or lower montane hardwood– conifer forest; frequently associated with Quercus chrysolepis, Pinus coulteri, or Pinus lambertiana (Junipero Serra Peak and Cone Peak). Occasionally in chaparral (especially young trees) or riparian woodland, and, rarely, at lower elevations just upslope from redwood forest (Talley 1974). Other associates include Alnus rhombifolia, Acer macrophyllum, Arbutus menziesii, Calocedrus Santa Lucia fir (Abies bracteata), from Cyclopedia of American Horticulture, 1909. decurrens, Notholithocarpus densiflorus var. densiflorus, Pinus ponderosa var. pacifica, Quercus agrifolia var. agrifolia, Quercus parvula var. shrevei, and Umbellularia californica, (CNDDB 2017, CNPS 2017); Pinus sabiniana is an associate in one of the southermost stands (Hoover 1970). Elevation 183–1555 m (generally > 500 m; with more than half of distribution > 1000 m) (Talley 1974, Farjon 2010). An Abies bracteata Forest Alliance is described in the Manual for California Vegetation Online (CNPS 2017) in areas where the fir has > 30% relative cover when co-dominant with Quercus chrysolepis.

    Lead Forest: Los Padres National Forest Forest Service Endemic: No Abies bracteata (D. Don) Poit. (bristlecone fir) Known Potential Synonym: Abies venusta (Douglas ex Hook.) K. Koch; Pinus bracteata D. Don; Pinus venusta Douglas ex Hook (Tropicos 2011). Table 1. Legal or Protection Status (CNDDB 2011, CNPS 2011, and Other Sources). Federal Listing Status; State Heritage Rank California Rare Other Lists Listing Status Plant Rank None; None G2/S2.3 1B.3 USFS Sensitive Plant description: Abies bracteata (Pinaceae) (Fig. 1) is a perennial monoecious plant with trunks longer than 55 m and less than 1.3 m wide. The branches are more-or-less drooping, and the bark is thin. The twigs are glabrous, and the buds are 1-2.5 cm long, sharp-pointed, and non- resinous. The leaves are less than 6 cm long, are dark green, faintly grooved on their upper surfaces, and have tips that are sharply spiny. Seed cones are less than 9 cm long with stalks that are under15 mm long. The cones have bracts that are spreading, exserted, and that are 1.5–4.5 cm long with a slender spine at the apex. Taxonomy: Abies bracteata is a fir species and a member of the pine family (Pinaceae). Out of the fir species growing in North America (Griffin and Critchfield 1976), Abies bracteata has the smallest range and is the least abundant. Identification: Many features of A. bracteata can be used to distinguish this species from other conifers, including the sharp-tipped needles, thin bark, club-shaped crown, non-resinous buds, and exserted spine tipped bracts (Gymnosperms Database 2010).
