1980-05 EIR-EA Gina-Gilda Vol 3 , .... CITY OF OXNARD CALIFORNIA October 10, 1980 PLANNING DEPARTMENT GENE L. HOSFORD, DIRECTOR 305 WEST THIRD STREET OXNARD, CALIFORNIA 93030 PHONE 486-4311, EXT. 230 To All Interested Parties: Union Oil Company of California proposes to develop Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) oil and gas leases P-0202, P-0203 and P-0216 in the eastern Santa Barbara Channel, offshore of Ventura County, California. To develop these leases, Union proposes to install two offshore platforms and construct an onshore treating facility within the Mandalay Beach area of the City of Oxnard . One of the platforms (Gina) would be located approximately 4.5 miles southwest of Port Hueneme, and the other platform (Gilda) would be located 10 miles west of Oxnard. Shortly after the project was formally announced, the City of Oxnard was asked to assume the role of "lead agency" by the State Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and take the principal responsibility for preparing the environmental documents required under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA), as amended. Assistance in carrying out this role was provided by a Steering Committee, established under a Memorandum of Understanding developed by OPR. Agencies represented on the Committee are: the State Lands Commission, State and Regional Coastal Commissions, County of Ventura, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the United States Geological Survey (USGS). USGS is the federal agency responsible f or preparing an Environmental Assessment to determine whether or not the project will have a significant effect on the environment, under the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). The enclosed document has been designed to fulfill this latter requirement. As a means of serving the public interest, the Steering Committee agreed to prepare a joint environmental study to avoid duplication in staff efforts, share expertise, and promote intergovernmental coordination at the local, State and federal levels. The document, entitled "Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Assessment, Union Oil Company Platform Gina and Platform Gilda Project" (Volumes I and II - May, 1980) was circulated for review under the applicable provisions of State and .. • Page Two federal law. Comments were received on the draft document through July 14th, and responses are contained in the attached finalizing addendum (Volume III - October, 1980). This finalizing addendum has been prepared in accordance with Section 15146 of the California Environmental Quality Act, EIR Guidelines, as amended through April 8, 1980. The information in this volume, combined with Volumes I and II, forms the Final EIR/EA for the proposed Platform Gina and Platform Gilda Project. A public hearing has been scheduled before the City of Oxnard Planning Commission to certify that the Final EIR/EA has been completed in compliance with CEQA, State EIR Guidelines, and adopted City procedures set forth under Resolution No. 7470. This hearing has been scheduled for October 30, 1980, at 7:30 p.m. at the Oxnard City Council Chambers, located at 305 West Third Street, Oxnard, California, and any interested person is welcome to attend. If you have any questions pertaining to the hearing, please contact Mr. Ralph Steele of this department at (805) 486-4311, Extension 530. Gene L.

  • 4.17 Wildfire
    4.17 – Wildfire 4.17 Wildfire This section describes the existing setting of the proposed Sand Canyon Resort Project (project) site, identifies associated regulatory requirements, evaluates potential impacts, and identifies mitigation measures related to implementation of the proposed project. Potential wildfire impacts resulting from construction and operation of the proposed project were evaluated based on a review of existing resources and applicable laws, regulations, guidelines, and standards. Publicly available sources were reviewed in the development of this section, including, but not limited to, the City of Santa Clarita General Plan, the City of Santa Clarita Municipal and Fire Codes, County of Los Angeles Fuel Modification Standards, and the City of Santa Clarita Hazard Mitigation Plan. This section focuses on the effect of the proposed project on wildfire risk. Fire protection services for the proposed project are addressed in Section 4.13, Public Services. 4.17.1 Environmental Setting The City of Santa Clarita (City) and the project site are susceptible to wildland fires due to steep and varied terrain, vegetative fuel composition, and the region’s weather patterns. The shrub-dominated plant communities comprising a portion of the project site and occurring throughout the region are highly flammable. Adaptations to the local dry, Mediterranean climate include specialized roots, stems, and leaves. The latter two become available fuels of importance and contribute to wildfire intensity and spread. For example, chaparral leaves are coated with ether extractives, such as oils, fats, terpenes, and waxes. The extractive content is highest during fall (the height of fire season in the project area) and lowest during the spring.
