  • Letter Re SB 50 (Senate Rules Cmtee)
    P ACIFIC P ALISADES C OMMUNITY C OUNCIL January 18, 2020 California State Senate Rules Committee: Hon. Toni G. Atkins, Chair & Senate President pro Tempore [email protected] Hon. Scott Wilk, Vice-Chair [email protected] Hon. Patricia C. Bates [email protected] Hon. Bill Monning [email protected] Hon. Richard D. Roth [email protected] Re: Senate Bill 50 (Wiener); (tentative) hearing date January 22, 2020; OPPOSE as worded; request for amendment to include unambiguous exemption for all parcels in the VHFHSZ. Dear Committee Chair Atkins, Vice-Chair Wilk and members Bates, Monning and Roth: Pacific Palisades Community Council (PPCC) since 1973 has been the voice of the community and the most- based organization in Pacific Palisades – a community of about 25,000 located in the wildland-urban interface between the coast and the Santa Monica mountains within the City of Los Angeles (City). The community of Brentwood (also in the wildland-urban interface within the City) is adjacent and located to our east. PPCC is on record as strongly opposing SB 50. At the same time, we agree with the general goal of addressing the state’s affordable housing and climate challenges as well as the suggestion that lawmakers should “continue conversations” about how best to achieve this goal (as Senator Atkins recently expressed). However, the new amendments to SB 50 highlight one area of immediate and significant concern for Pacific Palisades, Brentwood, additional hillside areas of the City and other similarly-situated areas of the state (including many fire-prone communities within each of your own districts): Lack of VHFHSZ Exemption Pacific Palisades is located entirely within the Cal Fire Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ), as is most of Brentwood.

  • Phase II Contaminants Investigation of Buffalo Lake National Wildlife Refuge, Texas 1993-1994
    U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 2 Contaminants Program PHASE II CONTAMINANTS INVESTIGATION OF BUFFALO LAKE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, TEXAS 1993 - 1994 by Denise L. Baker 1, Joel D. Lusk 2, and Craig M. Giggleman U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Arlington Ecological Services Field Office 711 Stadium Drive, East, Suite #252 Arlington, Texas 76011 September 1998 PHASE II CONTAMINANTS INVESTIGATION OF BUFFALO LAKE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, TEXAS 1993 - 1994 ABSTRACT Buffalo Lake National Wildlife Refuge is located in the Southern High Plains in Randall County, Texas. The lake from which the Refuge received its name has not contained water since the 1980s. In 1987, a Phase I contaminants investigation of the Refuge was conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Arlington, Texas, Field Office. The results of this investigation indicated that elevated concentrations of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus compounds), salts, copper, strontium, and zinc were found in and downstream of cattle feedlot waste retention lagoons; Tierra Blanca Creek, the major lotic contributor of the Refuge, had degraded water quality, primarily attributed to run-off and discharges from cattle feedlots; and that nutrient concentrations retained in soils in the dry reservoir bed in Buffalo Lake National Wildlife Refuge were elevated to the extent that inundation could create unacceptably high nutrient concentrations in the surface water. Consequentially, in 1993, a Phase II contaminants study was initiated at the Refuge by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to evaluate the extent of contamination in stormwater run-off entering the Refuge via Tierra Blanca Creek; to determine the extent of contamination in soils and vegetation within the Refuge; to evaluate the ability of crops grown in the Refuge to reduce soil contaminant concentrations; and to monitor contaminant levels in soils, surface water, and vegetation of moist soil management units constructed in the southern portion of the Refuge.

As was the case with the catastrophic Woolsey Fire in November 2018, the massive Palisades Fire in May 2021 and the multi-jurisdictional hillside/encampment task force initiative in June 2021, we understand that the WRSB parking lot was used by fire agencies for staging and command during the recent Tuna Canyon fire. Water-dropping helicopters could be heard by residents of Pacific Palisades, including some of the undersigned, throughout the incident. The entire region – including the communities of Malibu, Topanga Canyon and Pacific Palisades, the larger Las Virgenes area and extensive, sensitive state and federal parkland (within the MRCA and SMMNRA) in the Santa Monica Mountains – was under potential threat. The use of the WRSB lot was critical during all of these events and remains critical due to the continuous threat of devastating wildfires.

  • FSOR Protection from Wildfire Smoke
    STATE OF CALIFORNIA GAVIN NEWSOM, Governor DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board 2520 Venture Oaks Way, Suite 350 Sacramento, CA 95833 Tel: (916) 274-5721 Fax: (916) 274-5743 Website address www.dir.ca.gov/oshsb FINAL STATEMENT OF REASONS CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS TITLE 8: New Section 5141.1 of the General Industry Safety Orders Protection from Wildfire Smoke MODIFICATIONS AND RESPONSE TO COMMENTS RESULTING FROM THE 45-DAY PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD The proposed section 5141.1 was modified as follows, as the result of public comments and/or evaluation by Board or Division staff. Subsections (c)(1) and (2) were amended to better identify the government agencies from which air quality information can be acquired. Appendix B subsection (c) was amended to better identify and describe websites from which air quality information can be acquired. Appendix B, subsections (g)(2) and (h) were amended to ensure that the Appendix was clear that only reusable respirators should be cleaned and maintained for reuse; disposable respirators should be thrown away and replaced according to manufacturers’ recommendations. Modifications to the Economic Impact Analysis/Assessment As described in more detail below, the estimated per-employee cost has been increased from $17.19, as stated in the Initial Statement of Reasons (ISOR), to $41.09 in the first year and $28.78 in subsequent years. Thus, using the same calculations regarding the number of employees per business as described in the ISOR, a small business is expected to incur a cost of $360.77 in the first year and $252.78 in each subsequent year.
