  • Sweetwater Dam: Then and Now
    Sweetwater Dam: Then and Now By Richard A. Reynolds August 2, 2008 Sweetwater Dam: Then and Now Sweetwater Dam is a very important element of the water supply to the South Bay communities. It is the key to treatment and distribution of local runoff and imported supplies. This year is the 120lh in its long history in this important role. The dam, as you will see in this paper, has withstood many challenges and trials from storms that brought runoff flows from the watershed to the 100-year storm levels. A major storm in 1895, only seven years after completion of the dam, overtopped the dam by nearly two feet. This was proof of the core strength of the gravity arch configuration to withstand hydraulic forces. Sweetwater Dam, when completed in its initial configuration on April 7, 1888 (Figure 1), represented the latest design concept for masonry dams and, at its original completed height of 90 feet, was the tallest masonry, gravity arch dam in the United States. It was completed just in time to quench the thirst of South Bay residents and to ensure their hopes for land speculation, municipal growth and agricultural success. In his Nobel Prize winning novel, "East of Eden", John Steinbeck was describing people in California (albeit, in the Salinas Valley) and their awareness of water conditions in general when he wrote, "And it never failed that during the dry years the people forgot about the rich years, and during the wet years they lost all memory of the dry years. It was always that way." And so it was here in the South Bay.

The information presented was compiled from multiple sources, including Project Clean Water (PCW), the County of San Diego, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), and the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). 4.10.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS HYDROLOGY Surface Hydrology Surface waters in the San Diego region include the ocean shoreline, bays, lagoons, lakes, reservoirs, playas/inundation areas/washes, streams, and rivers (Figure 4.10-1). Major rivers within the San Diego region include the Santa Margarita River, the San Luis Rey River, San Dieguito River, San Diego River, Sweetwater River, Otay River, and the Tijuana River. Major coastal waterbodies include Buena Vista Lagoon, Agua Hedionda Lagoon, Batiquitos Lagoon, San Elijo Lagoon, San Dieguito Lagoon, Los Peñasquitos Lagoon, Mission Bay, San Diego Bay, Tijuana River estuary, and the Pacific Ocean. Playas/ inundation areas/washes include areas surrounding Lake Henshaw, Lake Cuyamaca, Moreno Reservoir, and Lake Hodges as shown in Figure 4.10-1. Surface waters in the San Diego region have many uses, including but not limited to habitat for wildlife, recreation, and storage reservoirs for drinking water supply. Waters listed as impaired under CWA Section 303(d) (33 USC Section 1313[d]) are also shown in Figure 4.10-1. A description of the 303(d) list is provided in Section 4.10.2 Regulatory Setting.

    SECTION I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The 653.3 acre Hansen’s Ranch is located in the approximately 30 square mile unincorporated community of Spring Valley. The Ranch is south and west of the adjacent Rancho San Diego development area and north of Sweetwater Reservoir. (See the Regional and Vicinity maps on pages 3 and 4, and the aerial photograph on page 6.) Originally the Ranch was a portion of Jamacha Rancho, an 8,880+ acre land grant to Dona Apolinaria Lorenzana in 1840. Subsequent owners subdivided and sold portions of the Ranch; the most noteworthy being George H. Neale because of his involvement with Alfred H. Isham for whom the Ranch Springs are named. The land was the site of the first resort in San Diego County; a health spa founded by Isham which predated the Hotel Del Coronado in 1887. In 1926, Fred J. Hansen purchased 1,500 acres of Jamacha Rancho, an area which includes the present Specific Plan Area. Since 1975 several large scale development proposals have been prepared for the Ranch. This planning was interrupted when in 1977 the County Board of Supervisors adopted the Valle de Oro Community Plan which set specific plan requirements to control any construction on the site. Formatted: Font: (Default) Courier New, 10 Processing was recommenced in 1978 resulting in several approvals pt, No underline, Do not check spelling or culminating in approvals by County August 1, 1990 of a specific grammar plan and other discretionary permits.

  • SANDAG EIR 4.01 Aesthetics Sandag-Rru SLG (00358607-2).DOCX
    4.1 Aesthetics and Visual Resources 4.1 AESTHETICS AND VISUAL RESOURCES This section evaluates the aesthetics and visual resources impacts of the proposed Plan. The information presented was compiled from multiple sources. 4.1.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS REGIONAL CHARACTER The San Diego region is a visually diverse region rich in natural open space, topographic resources, scenic highways, scenic vistas, and other distinct aesthetic resources. San Diego’s location bordering the Pacific Ocean also contributes to the natural setting of the region. The topography of the region contributes greatly to the overall character and quality of the existing visual setting. In general terms, the region is characterized by four physiographic regions: the low-lying coastal plain, foothills, mountains, and lowlands of the desert. The visual character of each is described briefly below. The coastal plain ranges in elevation from sea level to approximately 600 feet above mean sea level (AMSL) and includes beaches; bays; shoreline; coastal canyons; and the many rivers, streams, and other watercourses that drain inland areas, eventually reaching the coastal environment and waters. The coastal plain provides expansive views of scenic resources in all directions, with the coastline visible from regional transportation facilities including the LOSSAN rail corridor and I-5. Much of the coastal plain is developed with urban land uses. Agricultural uses within the coastal area include row crops, field flowers, and greenhouses. The foothills of the San Diego region range in elevation from 600 to 2,000 feet AMSL and are characterized by rolling to hilly uplands that contain frequent narrow, winding valleys. This area is traversed by several rivers, as well as a number of intermittent drainages.
