A revised preliminary plan for wetland restoration at the San Dieguito River Valley, submitted to the CCC by SCE on November 3, 1997, calls for the excavation of approximately 115 acres of upland to create tidal wetland and the enhancement of 35 acres of existing tidal wetland through the continuous maintenance of the tidal inlet in perpetuity. Created and restored habitats in this plan include a subtidal basin, channels, and intertidal mudflats and vegetated salt marsh. Condition A (Wetland Mitigation) of the CCC coastal development permit for SONGS (hereafter, SONGS permit) requires that monitoring of the wetland restoration be done over the full operating life of SONGS Units 2 & 3. This monitoring will be done to determine project compliance with the performance standards specified in the SONGS permit. In accordance with Condition D (Administrative Structure) of the SONGS permit, scientists retained by the Executive Director of the CCC will develop a Monitoring Plan to guide the monitoring work and will oversee the monitoring studies outlined in the Plan. The SONGS permit provides a description of the performance standards and the monitoring required for the wetland mitigation project. This Monitoring Plan closely adheres to the monitoring requirements of the permit and includes: (1) a description of the process used to evaluate condition compliance, including a list of performance standards by which the success of the mitigation wetland will be judged, (2) descriptions of the specific sampling methods and analyses that will be used to evaluate each of the performance standards, (3) an explanation of how project data will be managed and archived for future use, and (4) a description of how the results from the monitoring program will be disseminated to the CCC, the applicant, and all other interested parties. Management issues relevant to the SONGS wetland mitigation requirement include inlet maintenance, responses to excessive changes in topography, and adverse effects of exotic species. SCE has a plan for managing the inlet in perpetuity to ensure uninterrupted tidal flushing of the restored wetland. This plan provides conditions that would trigger the need for additional maintenance dredging at the inlet (SCE 2004). Topographic degradation of the wetland and berms may occur over time as a result of sedimentation and scour. If topographic surveys and aerial photographs indicate major topographic degradation has occurred, then the appropriate corrective action (e.g., dredging) will be taken to reconfigure the wetland to its “as designed” condition. Exotic species may invade restored habitats. If invasive exotic species are found in the restored wetland, and these species could adversely affect the success of the restoration, experts working in this field will be consulted and a program to control the spread of these species will be developed. 4 Monitoring plan for SONGS wetland restoration project 1.0 INTRODUCTION Through its 1991 and 1997 coastal permit actions (permit # 6-81-330-A, formerly 6-83-73) the California Coastal Commission (CCC) adopted permit conditions that require Southern California Edison (SCE) and its partners to create or substantially restore 150 acres of tidal wetlands at an approved location within the Southern California Bight. The purpose of this condition is to serve as out-of-kind mitigation that compensates for past, present and future impacts to fish caused by the operation of San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) Units 2 & 3. On June 11, 1992, the CCC approved SCE’s choice of the San Dieguito River Valley as the restoration site that meets the minimum standards identified in the SONGS permit and best meets the objectives of the wetland mitigation requirement. On April 9, 1997, the CCC reaffirmed its prior determination that San Dieguito River Valley is the restoration site and determined that SCE can propose an additional site for restoration only if achieving all 150 acres of restoration at San Dieguito River Valley becomes infeasible due to hydrology or other engineering concerns. The CCC also determined that up to 35 acres of enhancement credit could be obtained for inlet maintenance if wetland restoration is done at San Dieguito. A preliminary plan for wetland restoration at the San Dieguito River Valley was submitted to the CCC by SCE on September 30, 1997. In November 1997, the Commission approved SCE’s revised preliminary wetland restoration plan as largely conforming with the minimum standards and objectives stated in the permit. The revised plan called for the excavation of approximately 115 acres of upland to create tidal wetland and the enhancement of 35 acres of existing tidal wetland through the continuous maintenance of the tidal inlet in perpetuity. Created and restored habitats in this plan include a subtidal basin, channels, intertidal mudflats, and vegetated salt marsh. In addition, the plan included the construction of least tern nesting sites, flood control devices

  • List of Bivalve Molluscs from British Columbia, Canada
    List of Bivalve Molluscs from British Columbia, Canada Compiled by Robert G. Forsyth Research Associate, Invertebrate Zoology, Royal BC Museum, 675 Belleville Street, Victoria, BC V8W 9W2; [email protected] Rick M. Harbo Research Associate, Invertebrate Zoology, Royal BC Museum, 675 Belleville Street, Victoria BC V8W 9W2; [email protected] Last revised: 11 October 2013 INTRODUCTION Classification rankings are constantly under debate and review. The higher classification utilized here follows Bieler et al. (2010). Another useful resource is the online World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS; Gofas 2013) where the traditional ranking of Pteriomorphia, Palaeoheterodonta and Heterodonta as subclasses is used. This list includes 237 bivalve species from marine and freshwater habitats of British Columbia, Canada. Marine species (206) are mostly derived from Coan et al. (2000) and Carlton (2007). Freshwater species (31) are from Clarke (1981). Common names of marine bivalves are from Coan et al. (2000), who adopted most names from Turgeon et al. (1998); common names of freshwater species are from Turgeon et al. (1998). Changes to names or additions to the fauna since these two publications are marked with footnotes. Marine groups are in black type, freshwater taxa are in blue. Introduced (non-indigenous) species are marked with an asterisk (*). Marine intertidal species (n=84) are noted with a dagger (†). Quayle (1960) published a BC Provincial Museum handbook, The Intertidal Bivalves of British Columbia. Harbo (1997; 2011) provided illustrations and descriptions of many of the bivalves found in British Columbia, including an identification guide for bivalve siphons and “shows”. Lamb & Hanby (2005) also illustrated many species.

El desarrollo gonádico fue analizado utilizando las técnicas histológicas usuales. Las fases del desarrollo fueron categorizadas en cinco estadios: indiferenciación, gametogénesis, madurez, desove y postdesove. Tanto las hembras como los machos presentaron las mismas fases. El desove de la población fue continuo durante cuatro meses en 1988 (junio a septiembre) y al menos durante seis meses en 1989 (abril a septiembre). Ambos años con un máximo de actividad reproductora en agosto. ABSTRACT Adult clams Chione califomiensis (Broderip, 1835) were sampled monthly between May 1988 and September 1989, from intertidal populations in Puerto San Carlos, Bahía Magdalena, Baja California Sur. Gonadal development was monitored using standard histological methods. Observed gametogenic progression was categorized by five stages: inactive, gametogenesis, ripe, spawning and spent. Both male and female clams displayed the same stages. Spawning in the population occurred continuously for four months in 1988 (June to September) and for six months in 1989 (April to September), both years with a peak of spawning activity in August.

Dames & Moore will carry out the site-specific marine biological survey of the platform site and alternative pipeline corridors. The program proposed in this Survey Plan has been designed to meet MMS standards, the requirements of NTL 78-I, and to conform with programs accepted by federal and state agencies for recent, similar projects in the southern California OCS. The platform site lies in 80-90 m of water within an area of soft bottom habitat northwest of Point Arguello in the northeast quadrant of Lease P-0440 (Figure I). Bathymetric data show no steep topography at the platform site and the exploration geohazards map shows no rock outcrops near the platform site.
