  • Kirkwood Meadows Public Utilities District Power Line Reliability Project
    Kirkwood Meadows Public Utilities District Power Line Reliability Project Project Description: Alternatives, Including the Proposed Action KMPUD Project Description page 1 of 31 Introduction ____________________________________________ This chapter describes and compares the alternatives considered for the Kirkwood Meadows Power Line Reliability Project. It describes both alternatives considered in detail and those eliminated from detailed study. The end of this chapter presents the alternatives in tabular format so that the alternatives and their environmental impacts can be readily compared. Alternatives Considered in Detail __________________________ Based on the issues identified through public comment on the proposed action, the Forest Service developed four (4) alternative proposals that achieve the purpose and need differently than the proposed action. In addition, the Forest Service is required to analyze a No Action alternative. The proposed action, alternatives, and no action alternative are described in detail below. Alternative 1 – No Action Under the No Action alternative, current management plans would continue to guide management of the project area. No power line or supporting structures would be constructed to accomplish the purpose and need, and the Kirkwood community and ski resort would continue to be powered primarily by diesel generated electricity. Currently low sulfur dyed diesel fuel #2 is trucked into Kirkwood roughly two to three times per week during the winter months and once per week during the summer months. The number of trips depends on the consumption. Snowmaking, for instance, may consume as much as 5,000 gallons in a 24-hour period. There have been fuel spills during transport and transfer of fuel to the storage tanks.

  • 4.9 Hydrology and Water Quality
    4.9 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY This section describes the regulations pertaining to, and the existing conditions of, surface water, groundwater, water quality, and water supply existing within the planning area, and an evaluation of impacts associated with implementation of the Draft General Plan. 4.9.1 REGULATORY SETTING FEDERAL PLANS, POLICIES, REGULATIONS, AND LAWS Clean Water Act The Clean Water Act of 1972 (CWA) is the primary federal law that governs and authorizes water quality control activities by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the lead federal agency responsible for water quality management. By establishing water quality standards, issuing permits, monitoring discharges, and managing polluted runoff, the CWA seeks to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of surface waters to support “the protection and propagation of fish, shellfish, and wildlife and recreation in and on the water.” EPA is the federal agency with primary authority for implementing regulations adopted pursuant to CWA, and has delegated the state of California as the authority to implement and oversee most of the programs authorized or adopted for CWA compliance through the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act of 1969 described below. Water Quality Criteria and Standards EPA has published water quality regulations under Volume 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR). Section 303 of the CWA requires states to adopt water quality standards for all surface waters of the United States. As defined by the CWA, water quality standards consist of two elements: (1) designated beneficial uses of the water body in question and (2) criteria that protect the designated uses.

We recommend your approval. This plan is the culmination of many years of work achieved through Title III funding. It incorporates all the public input received during the review process. The plan is the result of cooperation between the USDA Forest Service, USDI Bureau of Land Management, CAL FIRE, Sierra Pacific Industries, PG&E, Amador Fire Protection District, and many volunteers, not the least of which is John Hofmann, Natural Resource Advisor to the Amador County Board of Supervisors. John Hofmann worked tirelessly to complete the HCCWPP as he understood that active forest management is the solution to virtually all forest health challenges. For this reason, the AFSC wishes to dedicate this plan to John Hofmann. We will be bringing the CWPP before the Board for final approval action on September 27, 2016. We hope the Board of Supervisors agrees with our recommendation for approval of the plan and its dedication High Country Community Wildfire Protection Plan September 19, 2016 Table of Contents Chapter 1 – Plan Introduction – an introduction to the document and the High country Planning Unit .................... 1 Chapter 2 – High Country Planning Process – summarizes the public process used to develop this Fire Plan ...

Estimated total escapement during the 2011/2012 season was 18,596 Chinook salmon. The estimated number of in-river spawners was 2,674 Chinook salmon. The first salmon redd was detected on 19 October 2011. During the surveys, a total of 564 salmon redds were identified. Forty-three (7.6%) Chinook salmon redds were superimposed by other Chinook salmon redds and 336 (59.6%) redds were located within gravel enhancement areas. The reach from Camanche Dam to Mackville Road (reach 6) contained 512 (90.2%) salmon redds and the reach from Mackville Road to Elliott Road (reach 5) contained 52 (9.8%) salmon redds. The highest number of Chinook salmon redd detections (161) took place on 22 November 2011. The first O. mykiss redd was found on 22 November 2011. Sixty-eight O. mykiss redds were identified. Nine O. mykiss redds were superimposed on Chinook salmon redds and one O. mykiss redd was superimposed on another O. mykiss redd. Thirty-one (45.6%) O. mykiss redds were located within gravel enhancement areas. Reach 6 contained 51 (75%) redds and reach 5 contained 17 (25%) redds.

If possible, GreenGen is also planning to hold an in-person open house in the project area during the next six months when the PAD nears completion. Webinar Video Link: https://kearnswest.adobeconnect.com/greengen Audio Conference Line: 1-866-705-2554, Participant Code: 541575 Welcome and Introductions Kelsey Rugani, Facilitator, opened the meeting and reviewed the agenda, ground rules, and ways to participate. She noted that several questions that had been submitted in advance will be answered first in the Question & Answer portion of the presentation. She invited attendees to submit additional questions by emailing [email protected] or typing questions directly into the chat box. Jennifer Rouda, GreenGen Storage Management Team, introduced herself and welcomed meeting attendees to the virtual open house. GreenGen is pursuing an opportunity with the Mokelumne Water Battery Project in California to develop a utility-scale, “green energy” project with local socioeconomic benefits. The project will provide renewable energy and energy storage to help California comply with SB 100 and become carbon-free by 2045. She stated that the project team looks forward to having in- person meetings in the future when it is safe to do so.

  • Hydrology and Water Quality
    DRAFT EIR Calaveras County Draft General Plan June 2018 4.8 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY 4.8.1 INTRODUCTION The Hydrology and Water Quality chapter of the EIR describes existing drainage patterns and water resources for the project area and the region, and evaluates potential impacts of the project with respect to drainage and water quality concerns. The hydrology and water quality impact analysis is primarily based on information from the Calaveras County Local Agency Groundwater Protection Program, the Mokelumne/Amador/Calaveras Integrated Regional Water Management Plan Update,1 and the Calaveras County Water District’s 2015 Urban Water Management Plan Update. 2 Water supply (including groundwater supply), wastewater systems, and storm drainage are addressed in Chapter 4.12, Public Services and Utilities, of this EIR. 4.8.2 EXISTING ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The following setting information provides an overview of the existing precipitation, surface water, groundwater, and flooding conditions in Calaveras County. Precipitation The topography in Calaveras County varies greatly, from near sea level in the Central Valley (western portion of the County) to elevations around 8,100 feet in the mountainous Sierra Nevada (eastern portion of the County). Due to the pronounced difference in elevation from west to east, levels of precipitation vary widely throughout the County. Average annual precipitation is 20 inches in the western region and 60 inches in the northeastern region. Precipitation increases with altitude, and includes both snow and rain. Snow accounts for much of the precipitation in the higher elevations (up to 300 inches per year), while snowfall is rare in the lower-elevation foothills.
