  • Inland Empire Fact Sheet SIMPLIFYING FEDERAL STUDENT AID: Grants, Loans, & Repayment Plans
    Inland Empire Fact Sheet SIMPLIFYING FEDERAL STUDENT AID: Grants, Loans, & Repayment Plans November 2016 Join the conversation at #KeepCollegeAff ordable INTRODUCTION The need for a college education has never been greater. Degrees at all levels, from vocational certificates to Master’s degrees, allow individuals to enjoy greater economic and social success. In fact, individuals with a bachelor’s degree will earn over $1.3 million more over their lifetimes than someone with only a high school diploma. For first-generation, low income and minority students, access to college opportunity yields a pathway to increased economic stability and prosperity for future generations. The jobs of the future require college credentials. By 2020, 65% of all jobs across the United States will require some type of college credential. The same holds true for the State of California: 68% of all jobs by 2020 will require future workers to have college credentials. Educational credentials needed For jobs of the future 12% 11% Master's Degree or Higher 24% 23% Bachelor's Degree Some College, Associate's, 32% 33% or Vocational Credential High School Diploma or Less 33% 34% College Credential Required California U.S. Unless immediate action is taken, and current trends persist, California will be short 2.4 million college educated workers to meet workforce demands. To succeed in this new economy, California must ensure that more of its residents are on track to enter college and graduate with a degree or credential. Keeping college affordable is key to meeting California’s economic demands and ensuring opportunity to a better future for the state’s residents.

  • 3.8 Biological Resources
    Section 3.8 – Biological Resources 3.8 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 3.8.1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this section is to identify existing biological resources within the planning area covered by the proposed project, analyze potential biological impacts, and recommend mitigation measures to avoid or lessen the significance of any identified adverse impacts. The assessment of impacts to biological resources is a qualitative review of the existing biological resources within the City and its SOI and a determination of whether the proposed project includes adequate provisions to ensure the protection of these resources. Given the programmatic nature of the PEIR, specific impacts to individual properties or areas are not identified or known at this time. 3.8.2 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The information contained in this Environmental Setting section is primarily from information contained in the City of Lake Elsinore General Plan Background Reports (see Chapter 3 – Biological Resources). This document is attached as Appendix B to this PEIR. The City and SOI are located in the Elsinore Valley, which is generally bounded on the west by the east flank of the rugged Santa Ana Mountains and on the west by gently sloping hills. The San Jacinto River and Temescal Wash cut through the valley, converging at Lake Elsinore. The area contains a mixture of land developed for residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, and agricultural uses and undeveloped land remaining in its natural state. Approximately 16 natural vegetative communities, in addition to developed sites and agricultural uses, occur in the City and its SOI. Each of these habitats provides cover, food, and water necessary to meet biological requirements of a variety of animal species.

  • Birds of the San Jacinto Valley Important Bird Area the San Jacinto Valley
    Birds of the San Jacinto Valley Important Bird Area The San Jacinto Valley “Through this beautiful valley runs a good-sized river...on whose banks are large, shady groves... All its plain is full of fl owers, fertile pastures, and other vegetation.” So wrote Juan Bautista De Anza in 1774, describing the San Jacinto Valley as he came down from the mountains on his expedition from Tubac, Arizona, to San Francisco. When he came to what we now call Mystic Lake in the northern part of the valley, he wrote: “We came to the banks of a large and pleasing lake, several leagues in circum- ference and as full of white geese as of water, they being so numerous that it looked like a large, white glove.” It is clear from these early descriptions that the San Jacinto Valley has long been a haven for wildlife. While much of the valley has been developed over the years, the San Jacinto Valley is still amazingly rich with birds and other wildlife, and has the potential to remain so in perpetuity. This pamphlet describes a few of the many birds that make the San Jacinto Valley their home. Some species are rare and need protection, while others are common. Some migrate to the San Jacinto Valley from thousands of miles away, while others spend their entire lives within the confi nes of the valley. Our hope is that you get to know the birds of the San Jacinto Valley, and are moved to help protect them for future generations. 2 The San Jacinto Valley is the fl oodplain of the San Jacinto River in western Riverside County.

Damiata and Tien-Chang Lee Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics University of California, Riverside, CA 92521 ABSTRACT Geothermal exploration in the Lake Elsinore area has primarily focused near a cross fault which acts as a conduit for thermal water. Flow testing of an exploratory hole indicates an ani- sotropic aquifer with a maximum transmissivity IO mi axis oriented along the fault striking N 11" E. Thermal water migrates laterally throughout the downtown area along a zone of enhanced transmissivity associated with the fault.
