    Monday, August 30, 2021 Clerk of the Board, South Coast AQMD, 21865 Copley Drive Dimond Bar, CA 91765-4178 South Coast Air Quality Management District Governing Board Members: The Sierra Club submits the following 560 digital signatures on the behalf of our members and supporters, urging the South Coast Air Quality Management District to implement a strong Refinery Rule (1109.1). Petition Language: Dear Governing Board Members: We submit this letter in support of Refinery Rule 1109.1, which would bring our region closer to meeting air quality standards to protect public health. Our region continues to have the worst ground-level ozone pollution in the nation. This pollution threatens the health of residents in the region with a range of harms, including asthma, diminished lung function, and premature death. These harms, in turn, cause negative socio- economic impacts, such as increased health care costs, missed workdays, and school absences. Petroleum refineries are a major source of ozone-causing pollution. For decades, refineries have avoided installing available life-saving pollution controls on hundreds of pieces of equipment, such as large boilers and heaters. As a result, refineries have saved millions of dollars. Refinery Rule 1109.1 would require refineries to finally install available controls on equipment that will improve public health and create jobs. We encourage you to adopt a strong Refinery Rule 1109.1 that secures the maximum amount of emissions reductions at petroleum refineries as quickly as possible. Refineries have had five years to install these pollution controls but have delayed making these necessary investments and are currently lobbying to keep delaying indefinitely.

  • Three Chumash-Style Pictograph Sites in Fernandeño Territory
    THREE CHUMASH-STYLE PICTOGRAPH SITES IN FERNANDEÑO TERRITORY ALBERT KNIGHT SANTA BARBARA MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY There are three significant archaeology sites in the eastern Simi Hills that have an elaborate polychrome pictograph component. Numerous additional small loci of rock art and major midden deposits that are rich in artifacts also characterize these three sites. One of these sites, the “Burro Flats” site, has the most colorful, elaborate, and well-preserved pictographs in the region south of the Santa Clara River and west of the Los Angeles Basin and the San Fernando Valley. Almost all other painted rock art in this region consists of red-only paintings. During the pre-contact era, the eastern Simi Hills/west San Fernando Valley area was inhabited by a mix of Eastern Coastal Chumash and Fernandeño. The style of the paintings at the three sites (CA-VEN-1072, VEN-149, and LAN-357) is clearly the same as that found in Chumash territory. If the quantity and the quality of rock art are good indicators, then it is probable that these three sites were some of the most important ceremonial sites for the region. An examination of these sites has the potential to help us better understand this area of cultural interaction. This article discusses the polychrome rock art at the Burro Flats site (VEN-1072), the Lake Manor site (VEN-148/149), and the Chatsworth site (LAN-357). All three of these sites are located in rock shelters in the eastern Simi Hills. The Simi Hills are mostly located in southeast Ventura County, although the eastern end is in Los Angeles County (Figure 1).

  • Wait! Aren't We Part of the San Gabriel Mountains?
    Wait! Aren’t We Part of the San Gabriel Mountains? A very strange and mysterious thing happened on Friday, October 10, 2014, when President Obama announced the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. Suddenly a gaping hole was cut into the Angeles National Forest, and areas like the Arroyo Seco, Tujunga, and the mountain watershed of the Los Angeles River were excised from the map delineating the new national monu- ment. Until the final announcement, the Arroyo Seco and the other stretches of the front range of the San Gabriel Mountains in the southwest corner of the Angeles National Forest all the way from Azusa to Sylmar in the San Fernando Valley were included in the advance maps and description of the monument. This is the portion of the Angeles National Forest that is closest to dense urban popula- tions and is heavily-used. It has also been the site just five years ago of the worst fire in Los Angeles County history, compounded by a major flood the next year. For this area, long-neglected by the US Forest Service, the map of the Map published in San Gabriel Valley newspapers prior to San Gabriel Mountains National dedication ceremony Monument certainly does not represent the “geography of hope” that President Obama promised on Friday. On Thursday, October 9, just the day before the presidential an- nouncement, this is the map that was published in San Gabriel Val- ley newspapers. But the official map that was re- leased on Friday is found on the next page. The strange shape of the territory of the national monument be- comes all the more bewildering Official Boundaries of the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument and egregious when a viewer reviews the map of the Station Fire in 2009, the largest fire in the his- tory of Southern California.

    CALIFORNIA OFF-ROAD VEHICLE ASSOCIATION Volume 23 Issue 7 February 2011 CORVA OFF-ROADERS CALIFORNIA OFF-ROAD VEHICLE ASSOCIATION www.corva.org IN ACTION A Portion of the Freeman Property Added to the Ocotillo Wells SVRA The Freeman property (also known as Truckhaven/Desert Cahuilla) was acquired by California State Parks in 2006. Senator Denise Ducheny and Senator Dennis Hollingsworth recently convened a group of stakeholders to establish a plan for dividing the Freeman Property between Anza Borrego Desert State Park and Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area (SVRA). Following the stakeholder group meetings, the plan was finalized under Senate Bill 855. This legislation specifies that the northwestern portion of the property be annexed to Anza Borrego Desert State Park and the southeastern portion of the property be annexed to Ocotillo Wells SVRA. The map on the right depicts the annexations. The Ocotillo Wells SVRA addition, now called "Ocotillo Wells North" for general planning purposes only, will be included in the General Plan and EIR project that is underway. Outreach activities in early 2011 will provide opportu- nities for the public and stakeholders to help identify planning issues and opportunities for Ocotillo Wells North as part of the General Plan process. Sign up to be notified of upcoming public participation activities. Go to www.planocotillowells.org for more information For a more detailed and larger map please see: on the General Plan and EIR process. http://planocotillowells.com/documents/OW_SVRA_Annexation_Map.pdf CORVA Applauds the Initiative and Intent of Congressman Herger Congressman Herger, who introduced a bill in the newly convened 112th Session Of Congress questioning the scope of Subpart B of Travel Managment and delaying its implementation in California's National Forests.
