    Photographer Mauricio Rangel The Puente Hills Habitat Preservation Authority is a joint powers agency with a Board of Directors comprised of representatives from the City of Whittier, County of Los Angeles, the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County and Hacienda Heights. The Habitat Authority is dedicated to the acquisition, restoration and management of open space in the Puente Hills for preservation of the land in perpetuity, with the primary purpose to protect the biological diversity. Additionally, the agency will endeavor to provide opportunities for outdoor education and low- impact recreation. The Habitat Authority was created in 1994 from a mitigation fund generated by “tipping” fees collected at the Puente Hills Landfill. As of January 2013, more than 3,800 acres have been preserved. The Puente Hills Preserve consists of rugged topography, steep hillsides and deep canyons. This ecosystem is connected in the Chino Hills and Santa Ana Mountains by habitat linkages and corridors that allow wildlife to continue to move through the landscape.

  • Title: Subsurface Structural Evolution Along the Northern Whittier Fault Zone of the Eastern Los Angeles Basin, Southern California
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF David W. Herzog for the degree of Master of Science in Geology presentedon January 26, 1998. Title: Subsurface Structural Evolution along the Northern Whittier Fault Zone of the Eastern Los Angeles Basin, Southern California Abstract S. Yeats The Whittier fault forms the central part of a fault system extending from the East Montebello fault at Whittier Narrows to the Elsinore fault, which is traced as far as the Mexican border. The Whittier fault formsa restraining bend in this fault system, resulting in uplift of the Puente Hills. The northwestern part of the Whittier fault in the Whittier oil field in the eastern Los Angeles basin strikes approximately N65°W and dips 70-75° northeast. The fault is near the range front of the Puente Hills northwest of Turnbull Canyon, and within the Puente Hills to the southeast. The central reach of the Whittier fault had normal separation in the Relizian and Luisian stages of the middle Miocene. From the Mohnian through Repettian stages of the late Miocene and early Pliocene, little, ifany, offset occurred until the initiation of reverse offset in the Venturianstage of the late Pliocene. A component of right-lateral strike-slipmay have been added near the end of the Pliocene, coinciding with the formation of the Elsinore fault. The Workman Hill and Whittier Heights faultsmay have formed in the late Pliocene to early Pleistocene, coinciding with the possible initiation of strike-slip on the Whittier fault. The presentsense of slip on the Whittier fault southeast of the studyarea is nearly pure right-lateral strike- slip, with a slip rate of 2-3 mm/yr.

The Mary Hanson Collection provided a wealth of clippings from various news sources on the preservationist movement in Whittier from the mid-1970s through the 1990s. I also drew heavily on the archived issues of the Hillside Herald, the newsletter of the Friends of the Whittier Hills. This publication combined reprinted newspaper articles with letters and original artwork from the group’s membership and generally provided a window into the community outside of Whittier’s City Hall that was working so vigilantly on behalf of the Hills.

  • Active Faults in the Los Angeles Metropolitan Region Southern California Earthquake Center Group C*
    1 Active Faults in the Los Angeles Metropolitan Region Southern California Earthquake Center Group C* *James F. Dolan, Eldon M. Gath, Lisa B. Grant, Mark Legg, Scott Lindvall, Karl Mueller, Michael Oskin, Daniel F. Ponti, Charles M. Rubin, Thomas K. Rockwell, John H, Shaw, Jerome A. Treiman, Chris Walls, and Robert S. Yeats (compiler) Introduction Group C of the Southern California Earthquake Center was charged with an evaluation of earthquake fault sources in the Los Angeles Basin and nearby urbanized areas based on fault geology. The objective was to determine the location of active faults and their slip rates and earthquake recurrence intervals. This includes the location and dip of those faults reaching the surface and blind faults that are expressed at the surface by folding or elevated topography. Slip rate determinations are based on several timescales. The tectonic regime of the Miocene was generally extensional, and the north-south contractional regime came into being in the early Pliocene with the deposition of the Fernando Formation (Wright, 1991; Yeats and Beall, 1991; Crouch and Suppe, 1993). The longest timescale for slip-rate estimates, then, is the time of imposition of the north-south contractional regime, the past 5 x 106 years. Another timescale is the early and middle Quaternary (~ 2 x 106 years), the time of deposition of the upper Pico member of the Fernando Formation plus the shallow-marine to nonmarine San Pedro Formation. Information for the first two timescales is derived from the subsurface using oil-well and water-well logs, multichannel seismic profiles, and surface geology. A third timescale is the late Quaternary (102-105 years), information for which is obtained through trench excavations, boreholes, and high-resolution seismic profiles and ground-penetrating radar augmented by the 232-year-long record of historical seismicity in the Los Angeles area.
