Juan Bautista de Anza, 1774 Proposed Modification to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Levee Construction and Channelization Projects on the San Jacinto River A Request for Section 1135 Funding in Fiscal Year 1996 UBDADY FEB 2 g 2012 Bureau of Reclamation Denver, CD FACT SHEET AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers PROJECT NAME: Mystic Lake Wetlands Restoration Project, CA AUTHORIZATION: Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (PL 99-662), 1135(b) PURPOSE: To modify existing ACOE projects — including San Jacinto Levee, CA and Bautista Creek, CA, both built in 1960 to augment the original Mystic Lake Bypass Levee constructed in the early 1900’s with Corps assistance — to restore and enhance lost or impaired habitat associated with those projects. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: ACOE funds, in conjunction with non-federal funds, will be used to acquire and restore 425 +/- acres within the 921 +/- acre core area of Mystic Lake, a critical wetland area within the historic pre-diversion course of the San Jacinto River near Riverside, CA. The project will allow targeted redirection of flows into the Mystic Lake basin, restoring and enhancing one of the most critical inland wetland habitat systems in North America. PROJECT COST: $3.75 millon (or 75% of total cost) in ACOE funding in FY96, to supplement $1.25 million (or 25% of total cost) in identified non-federal cost-share funds. Project sponsor: State of California, Department of Fish and Game. JUSTIFICATION: Construction of the San Jacinto River Levee and the Bautista Creek Channel in 1960 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in conjunction with the Mystic Lake Bypass Levee constructed in the early 1900’s, redirected the San Jacinto River flood flows away from the historic Mystic Lake, with a corresponding loss of wetlands and associated freshwater habitat. Prior to these flood water diversion projects, retention of natural flows in the Mystic Lake basin provided consistent high-quality freshwater wetland habitat for the wide diversity and large populations of wildlife species that use the San Jacinto Valley. Currently, however, Mystic Lake’s historic wetlands remain dry except during times of extreme flood flows. Still, Mystic Lake is widely considered, during these flows, to be the most significant inland wetland in Southern California. The San Jacinto Valley is nationally and internationally known for its tremendous biological diversity; some of the highest bird counts and greatest diversity of bird species wintering in an inland location in North America have been recorded in the area. Over 150 bird species rely on the area’s wetlands, including twenty-six species of shorebirds that use the Mystic Lake wetlands as a migratory stopover. The area also is unrivaled in the state for the diversity and abundance of wintering birds of prey, with twenty- two species of eagles, hawks, falcons and owls nesting and foraging at Mystic Lake and the adjacent 4,850-acre San Jacinto Wildlife Area. A state-designated Significant Natural Area, Mystic Lake also is a key site for recovery of the federal and/or state-listed Stephens’ kangaroo rat, bald eagle, peregrine falcon, brown pelican, and Swainson’s hawk. Additionally, this property is a key link in the wildlife corridor that connects the Lake Perris State Recreation Area and the San Jacinto Wildlife Areas with the San Bernardino National Forest. Without more frequent, regular flows, Mystic Lake’s critical habitat is productive only intermittently, and the lake and wetlands disappear completely in below-normal rainfall years due to the existing diversions. Despite the longstanding involvement of the Corps in these structural water management projects, lost and damaged habitat has never been replaced or restored. The Mystic Lake Wetlands Restoration Project offers a premier opportunity as authorized under Section 1135 of PL 99-662, to create and improve habitat in a state that has experienced the loss of 96 percent of its wetland habitat in the past century. Available on a willing-seller basis for acquisition and restoration is the 921 +/- acre Lakeview Investment Company property, which comprises most of the historic bed of Mystic Lake. Within this overall acreage, an estimated 425 acres can be acquired and restored this year if requested federal funds are made available to supplement the non-federal match to be provided by the State of California (primarily the CA Department of Fish and Game, the project s sponsor). Acquisition of this portion of the property will allow modification of the Mystic Lake Bypass to permit managed flows to return through the natural river course to Mystic Lake. The balance of the property may also be secured and similarly restored in future phases, in partnership with this effort but without additional financial responsibility to the Corps, by other government agencies and private entities. Apart from the benefits to wildlife, the return of traditional flows to Mystic Lake is expected to bring additional flood protection to downstream farmland, as storm water flows now channelled away from the area will pond in the lakebed. In fact, the benefits of this project may extend even further. The San Jacinto Valley, and the Mystic Lake property in particular, are the focus of an ongoing interagency cooperative effort aimed at meeting a variety of water management needs including the conservation of natural habitat, floodwater retention and erosion control, reclaimed water storage, groundwater recharge and recreational opportunities. Consequently, the proposed project is strongly supported by a variety of public jurisdictions and community interests.

Construction of several diversion and channelization projects has resulted in significant habitat loss, leaving the lakebed dry for long periods between intermittent flood flows. Requested funds, along with nonfederal cost-snare funds, will permit acquisition and restoration of these premier wetlands. White Pelicans Photographs by Phil Schermeister White Pelican Photograph by Phil Schermeister Over 150 species of shorebirds, waterfowl, raptors, and other birds use the wetlands of Mystic Lake. The area, with some of the most heavily used wintering habitat of any inland location in North America, is particularly critical for migratory species on the Pacific Flyway.

Acquisition of Mystic Lake will enable ephemeral wetlands to be transformed into permanent wetlands encouraging the proliferation of new and current species. Grebe Photographs by Phil Schermeister Photograph by Phil Schermeister The rapidly diminishing wetlands in California makes the preservation and restoration of Mystic Lake a clear necessity for wildlife. Threatened with development, Mystic Lake is a natural refuge for wildlife as well as the expanding population of Riverside County and surrounding areas. This highly valued resource provides recreational and educational opportunities including bird watching, boating, fishing, duck hunting and educational programs for children.

  • 3.8 Biological Resources
    Section 3.8 – Biological Resources 3.8 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 3.8.1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this section is to identify existing biological resources within the planning area covered by the proposed project, analyze potential biological impacts, and recommend mitigation measures to avoid or lessen the significance of any identified adverse impacts. The assessment of impacts to biological resources is a qualitative review of the existing biological resources within the City and its SOI and a determination of whether the proposed project includes adequate provisions to ensure the protection of these resources. Given the programmatic nature of the PEIR, specific impacts to individual properties or areas are not identified or known at this time. 3.8.2 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The information contained in this Environmental Setting section is primarily from information contained in the City of Lake Elsinore General Plan Background Reports (see Chapter 3 – Biological Resources). This document is attached as Appendix B to this PEIR. The City and SOI are located in the Elsinore Valley, which is generally bounded on the west by the east flank of the rugged Santa Ana Mountains and on the west by gently sloping hills. The San Jacinto River and Temescal Wash cut through the valley, converging at Lake Elsinore. The area contains a mixture of land developed for residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, and agricultural uses and undeveloped land remaining in its natural state. Approximately 16 natural vegetative communities, in addition to developed sites and agricultural uses, occur in the City and its SOI. Each of these habitats provides cover, food, and water necessary to meet biological requirements of a variety of animal species.

  • Birds of the San Jacinto Valley Important Bird Area the San Jacinto Valley
    Birds of the San Jacinto Valley Important Bird Area The San Jacinto Valley “Through this beautiful valley runs a good-sized river...on whose banks are large, shady groves... All its plain is full of fl owers, fertile pastures, and other vegetation.” So wrote Juan Bautista De Anza in 1774, describing the San Jacinto Valley as he came down from the mountains on his expedition from Tubac, Arizona, to San Francisco. When he came to what we now call Mystic Lake in the northern part of the valley, he wrote: “We came to the banks of a large and pleasing lake, several leagues in circum- ference and as full of white geese as of water, they being so numerous that it looked like a large, white glove.” It is clear from these early descriptions that the San Jacinto Valley has long been a haven for wildlife. While much of the valley has been developed over the years, the San Jacinto Valley is still amazingly rich with birds and other wildlife, and has the potential to remain so in perpetuity. This pamphlet describes a few of the many birds that make the San Jacinto Valley their home. Some species are rare and need protection, while others are common. Some migrate to the San Jacinto Valley from thousands of miles away, while others spend their entire lives within the confi nes of the valley. Our hope is that you get to know the birds of the San Jacinto Valley, and are moved to help protect them for future generations. 2 The San Jacinto Valley is the fl oodplain of the San Jacinto River in western Riverside County.

    5.9 Biological Resources 5.9 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES The information contained within this section is summarized from the Moreno Valley General Plan EIR Biological Report (Merkel & Associates, September 2004). The report is provided in Volume II Appendix E of this EIR. The existing biological resources documented in this report were determined through an extensive review of the most current, available biological literature and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) data available for the planning area. Previous biological surveys conducted by Merkel & Associates (M&A) staff, as well as biological information gathered by other consultants for projects within Moreno Valley, were further reviewed. Vegetation communities were primarily identified based on the regional GIS data incorporated into the MSHCP (KTU+A and PSBS 1995). Floral and faunal species potential presence was determined based on vegetation community presence/absence and knowledge of species requirements. The assessment of presence or potential presence of sensitive biological resources was also based on MSHCP data, which incorporated California Natural Diversity Database records for sensitive species. In addition to the MSHCP and vegetation community information, the following sources were consulted to aid in determining faunal presence/absence: USFWS 2000b, Ericksen and Belk 1999, Sauer et al. 1996, Sauer et al. 2000, Zeiner et al. 1988, Zeiner et al. 1990a and 1990b. M&A also contacted individuals with special expertise to determine the likelihood of species presence for certain groups (e.g., bats). Additionally, M&A biologists, Craig Reiser and Diana Jensen, conducted field investigations in April 2001 to ground truth portions of the regional GIS vegetation data and record locations of identified sensitive species.

  • Introduction
    ARTS AND CULTURE ELEMENT Introduction Arts and cultural activities are an essential part of a healthy community life and they make significant contributions to the quality of life in San Jacinto. Community-based arts and culture help to create a more livable city, enhance the urban environment, celebrate the City’s history and natural environment, engage a wide spectrum of citizens, provide significant value both to communities and artists, and help define who we are as a community. The Arts and Culture Element represents a significant step forward to demonstrate community pride and to create a desirable image for the City to attract economic development. There is great potential to expand public art in San Jacinto to the point where it becomes an identifying force for the community and economic vitality of the City. PURPOSE OF THE The purpose of the Arts and Culture Element is to describe the City’s existing ARTS AND CULTURE arts and cultural resources, identify opportunities for arts enrichment, and define goals, policies and implementation strategies to further integrate arts and LEMENT E culture into the City’s future. Although it is not a State-required element, the City is committed to supporting and expanding the local arts community and its contributions to the quality of life in San Jacinto. The Arts and Culture Element is consistent with the State of California Code (Section 65303) which grants authority to local jurisdictions to adopt additional elements to those mandated by State law when they relate to the physical development of the jurisdiction. The Arts and Culture Element is included in this General Plan with the goal of fostering a civic environment where artistic expression and cultural diversity can flourish, where the influence of arts on the local economy is recognized, and where local government and City leaders legitimize the arts as an essential component of civic support, funding and decision-making .
