These watersheds drain the Rincon and San Miguelito oil fields which are located upstream of residential communities, popular beaches, and coastal habitat. Hydraulic fracturing has been documented to have occurred in one canyon, and enhanced oil recovery projects were performed in the oil fields at the time of the study. The NVCCWP includes several elements which were developed to support the objectives of the study. Though each element can be read as a stand-alone document, data, analyses, and information presented in these elements are used in a holistic approach to assessing the conditions of the study watersheds. Watershed Assessment Contains a comprehensive review of existing data in the study watersheds using relevant literature, spatial, and quantitative analyses to inform the Toxicity Analysis, Source Assessment, and Recommendations & Mitigation Strategies. Environmental Sampling Presents the methods, observations, and results from sampling and field testing activities conducted in the study watersheds from October 2013 through April 2014. Pollutant loading rates are also included in this element. Toxicity Analysis Examines the toxicity of pollutant concentrations found through the Environmental Sampling and compares results with EPA Regional Screening Levels, California Toxics Rule, and California Maximum Contaminant Levels and Public Health Goals. Source Assessment Explores potential natural and anthropogenic sources of pollutants found through the Environmental Sampling and relative contributions to detected concentrations. Recommendations & Mitigation Strategies Based on data, analyses, and other information included in Watershed Assessment, Environmental Sampling, Toxicity Analysis, and Source Assessment, recommendations and mitigation strategies were developed to address potential impacts to human and environmental health. Blue Tomorrow, LLC | www.blue-tomorrow.com | [email protected] PROJECT AUTHORS Blue Tomorrow, LLC Blue Tomorrow provided project management, water and soil sampling, field data collection, analyses, and development of the report elements for the NVCCWP. Based out of Santa Barbara, Blue Tomorrow was founded by Alex Dragos and Eric Hopkins. Blue Tomorrow combines disciplines of hydrology, environmental science, and economics to provide consulting services for the sustainable management of water resources. Working with its network of environmental scientists and professionals, Blue Tomorrow tackles a diversity of environmental problems. Existing research is paired with Blue Tomorrow generated field data (soil and water quality sampling, stream and riparian surveys, and erosion and sediment surveys) to spatially analyze land use impacts and identify sources, pathways, receptors, and toxicity of pollutants. Blue Tomorrow uses this whole basin assessment approach to develop feasible solutions to mitigate impacts from pollutants to people and the environment. Alex Dragos, Blue Tomorrow Co-founder, [email protected] Project Manager Eric Hopkins, Blue Tomorrow Co-founder, [email protected] Project Scientist Dr. Arturo Keller Dr. Arturo Keller provided review and direction in the development of the NVCCWP. Dr. Keller is known for his expertise in the fate and transport of pollutants, including nanoparticles, organic liquids (NAPLs), and persistent organic pollutants. Dr. Keller is known for his involvement in the phasing out of the gasoline additive MTBE as part of a UC-wide project; his research found MTBE to seriously affect water resources while providing only modest air quality benefits relative to other alternatives. Dr. Keller was scientific advisor and moderator of the award-winning Santa Clara River Nitrogen TMDL process. Consensus was reached through a combination of science-supported decision-making and a willingness to try out many ideas proposed by the stakeholders. He has also worked with several Regional Water Quality Control Boards on other TMDL processes, including nutrients in the Napa River, PCBs in San Francisco Bay, organophosphate pesticides in the Newport Bay watershed, and an assessment of TMDL priorities in the South Coast area of Santa Barbara County.

From October 2013 through April 2014, water and sediment samples were collected from each canyon to characterize water quality and inform strategies to mitigate impacts from pollutants being discharged from the watersheds. NVCCWP Watersheds Located in northern Ventura County, California, the study watersheds are roughly 17 miles south of the city of Santa Barbara and 7 miles north of the city of Ventura, along Highway 101. Collectively, the watersheds span 9.5 square miles and the threatened California coastal scrub inhabits the majority of the area. These five watersheds drain the Rincon and San Miguelito oil fields, which are upstream of residential communities, popular beaches, and coastal habitat. Oil field infrastructure covers about 5% of the study area, and approximately 275 people live in three residential communities near the creeks. Each year, over 140,000 people visit campgrounds and 570,000 go to beaches downstream or adjacent to the watershed outlets. The watersheds discharge into coastal waters, which are home to kelp forests, marine mammals, fish, and bird species. Northern Ventura County Coastal Watershed Project | Executive Summary i The Rincon and San Miguelito oil fields have been in production since the early 20th century, and over 400 wells have been drilled in the watersheds. Oil field productivity has steadily declined since the late 1970’s. Currently, over 90% of fluid extracted from the oil fields is produced water, which contains a complex mixture of organic and inorganic constituents with high levels of total dissolved solids (TDS). As a result of declining productivity, enhanced oil recovery and well stimulation methods are used in the study watersheds. Hydraulic fracturing has been performed on at least 3 wells in Line Canyon, and roughly 9 million barrels (~380 million gallons) of produced water was injected into the oil fields in 2013 as part of water flood enhanced oil recovery projects. Oil field development has led to large areas cleared for roads and well pads. This infrastructure covers about 11% of Line Canyon and 9% of Amphitheater Canyon. Roads, well pads, staging areas, and other cleared areas influence surface runoff and water quality, as unvegetated and compacted surfaces generate unnatural quantities of surface runoff and are sources of sediment and erosion. Environmental Sampling A total of 17 water samples and 10 sediment samples were collected from the study watersheds and tested for up to 68 constituents. Additionally, three samples were collected from the Line Canyon base flow, the only creek that flowed during dry periods. The 2014 water year was one of the driest on record in the study area, and only two rain events generated enough runoff for sampling (November 21, 2013 and February 27-March 1,

  • 3.4 Biological Resources
    3.4 Biological Resources 3.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 3.4.1 Introduction This section evaluates the potential for implementation of the Proposed Project to have impacts on biological resources, including sensitive plants, animals, and habitats. The Notice of Preparation (NOP) (Appendix A) identified the potential for impacts associated to candidate, sensitive, or special status species (as defined in Section 3.4.6 below), sensitive natural communities, jurisdictional waters of the United States, wildlife corridors or other significant migratory pathway, and a potential to conflict with local policies and ordinances protecting biological resources. Data used to prepare this section were taken from the Orange County General Plan, the City of Lake Forest General Plan, Lake Forest Municipal Code, field observations, and other sources, referenced within this section, for background information. Full bibliographic references are noted in Section 3.4.12 (References). No comments with respect to biological resources were received during the NOP comment period. The Proposed Project includes a General Plan Amendment (GPA) and zone change for development of Sites 1 to 6 and creation of public facilities overlay on Site 7. 3.4.2 Environmental Setting Regional Characteristics The City of Lake Forest, with a population of approximately 77,700 as of January 2004, is an area of 16.6 square miles located in the heart of South Orange County and Saddleback Valley, between the coastal floodplain and the Santa Ana Mountains (see Figure 2-1, Regional Location). The western portion of the City is near sea level, while the northeastern portion reaches elevations of up to 1,500 feet.
