  • Upper Newport Bay Ecosystem Restoration Project
    Upper Newport Bay Ecosystem Restoration Project Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1. Why is the project necessary? Upper Newport Bay is one of the last remaining coastal wetlands in southern California, and continues to play a significant role in providing critical habitat for a variety of migratory waterfowl, shorebirds and endangered species of birds and plants. Bay sedimentation has significantly increased in the last several decades due to rapid urbanization of the watershed. As a result, open water areas are disappearing in the bay, tidal circulation has diminished and shoaling is occurring within the Federal and local navigation channels and slips. Upstream efforts to control sediment inputs to the Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve and within-Bay dredging projects have not been completely effective. A primary objective of this project is to effect management of sediments deposited within the bay, with the objective of reducing the frequency of dredging projects while also enhancing habitat values within the upper bay and slowing the detrimental impacts of sediment accumulation on the fish and wildlife habitats. 2. What are the benefits of the project? The Upper Newport Bay restoration project will allow for a reduced frequency of maintenance dredging; improve or restore estuarine habitats; sustain a mix of open water, mudflat and marsh habitat; increase tidal circulation for water quality; reduce predator access to sensitive habitats; improve public use and recreational access; and improve educational opportunities. 3.

  • NOTES TWO RECENT RECORDS of the CLAPPER RAIL from the BALLONA WETLANDS, LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA Daniel S
    NOTES TWO RECENT RECORDS OF THE CLAPPER RAIL FROM THE BALLONA WETLANDS, LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA DANIEL S. COOPER, Cooper Ecological Monitoring, Inc., 5850 W. 3rd St., #167, Los Angeles, California 90036; [email protected] I report on two recent records of the Clapper Rail (Rallus longirostris) from the Ballona Wetlands at Playa del Rey in Los Angeles County, including the first well- documented report in in the county over 40 years, from a site where a population persisted into the 1950s. On 25 August 2008, two biological consultants (A. Gutierrez and R. Woodfield, with Merkel and Associates, San Diego) sampling fish in a tidal chan- nel at the Ballona Wetlands just south of Ballona Creek spotted a bird they suspected was a Clapper Rail. On 21 January 2010 Gutierrez wrote to me, “on August 25, 2008 a Light-footed Clapper Rail was observed foraging along the eastern waterline of a channel in the pickleweed of the Ballona Wetlands. The observation occurred at 11:30 A.M. on a clear day, with no wind, a temperature of 70 °F, and during a low tide of 3.2 ft mean lower low water. Although it was a low tide, the water level was fairly high due to the tide being subject to muting and lag from the presence of tide gates at the Ballona Wetland. The Clapper Rail walked the edge of the high waterline from south to north and then back to the south, weaving through the pickleweed. After approximately 5 minutes, the Clapper Rail flew to the west shore of the channel and proceeded out of sight into the dense pickleweed.” Fortunately, (using a cell phone) Woodfield took a photograph (Figure 1) showing an unmistakable image of a Clapper Rail.

Mitigation measures are recommended to avoid potential impacts or reduce them to a less than significant level. The discussion in this section is based on information and conclusions contained in the following studies: . Hydrology Study for TTM 15353 & 17300 (Hydrology Study), prepared by Hunsaker & Associates Irvine, Inc., dated February 19, 2013; refer to Appendix 11.4, Hydrology and Water Quality Assessment. Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) for Portola Center Tentative Tract Map No. 15353 Lake Forest, CA (WQMP TTM 15353) prepared by Hunsaker and Associates Irvine, Inc., dated March 18, 2013; refer to Appendix 11.4, Hydrology and Water Quality Assessment. Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) for Portola Center Tentative Tract Map No. 17300 Lake Forest, CA (WQMP TTM 17300) prepared by Hunsaker and Associates Irvine, Inc., dated March 18, 2013; refer to Appendix 11.4, Hydrology and Water Quality Assessment. 5.4.1 EXISTING SETTING HYDROLOGY AND DRAINAGE CONDITIONS The project site is located within the Aliso Creek and San Diego Creek (also referred to as the Newport Bay) Watersheds. TTM 15353 is located completely within the Aliso Creek Watershed. A majority of TTM 17300 (approximately 98.1 acres) is located within the Aliso Creek Watershed and the remaining area (1.4 acres) is located within the San Diego Creek Watershed. More specifically, the 1.4 acres is in the Serrano Creek drainage area of Watershed F, San Diego Creek Subwatershed.

  • 3.4 Biological Resources
    3.4 Biological Resources 3.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 3.4.1 Introduction This section evaluates the potential for implementation of the Proposed Project to have impacts on biological resources, including sensitive plants, animals, and habitats. The Notice of Preparation (NOP) (Appendix A) identified the potential for impacts associated to candidate, sensitive, or special status species (as defined in Section 3.4.6 below), sensitive natural communities, jurisdictional waters of the United States, wildlife corridors or other significant migratory pathway, and a potential to conflict with local policies and ordinances protecting biological resources. Data used to prepare this section were taken from the Orange County General Plan, the City of Lake Forest General Plan, Lake Forest Municipal Code, field observations, and other sources, referenced within this section, for background information. Full bibliographic references are noted in Section 3.4.12 (References). No comments with respect to biological resources were received during the NOP comment period. The Proposed Project includes a General Plan Amendment (GPA) and zone change for development of Sites 1 to 6 and creation of public facilities overlay on Site 7. 3.4.2 Environmental Setting Regional Characteristics The City of Lake Forest, with a population of approximately 77,700 as of January 2004, is an area of 16.6 square miles located in the heart of South Orange County and Saddleback Valley, between the coastal floodplain and the Santa Ana Mountains (see Figure 2-1, Regional Location). The western portion of the City is near sea level, while the northeastern portion reaches elevations of up to 1,500 feet.

Marschalek California Department of Fish and Game South Coast Region 4949 Viewridge Avenue San Diego, CA 92123 ABSTRACT Monitoring to document breeding success of California least terns (Sternula antillarum browni) continued in 2006, with observers at 31 nesting sites providing data. An estimated 7006-7293 California least tern breeding pairs established 8173 nests and produced 2571-3644 fledglings at 45 documented locations. The fledgling to breeding pair ratio was 0.35-0.52. Statewide, 12,698 eggs were reported, with a site average of 1.57 eggs per nest (St Dev = 0.257) and an average clutch size of 1.62 eggs (St Dev = 0.494) for Type 1 sites. Numbers of nesting least terns were not uniformly distributed across all sites. Camp Pendleton, Naval Base Coronado, Los Angeles Harbor and Batiquitos Lagoon represented 58% of the breeding pairs while Camp Pendleton, Los Angeles Harbor, Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, Batiquitos Lagoon Ecological Reserve and Venice Beach produced 68% of the fledglings.
