Did You Know? Thursday, July 13, 2017 • APG News B7 CBARR Frompage B1 air monitoring during intrusive operations at the site. During the initial investigation, two items were found. The first item, it was determined, contained no chemical agent and was disposed in accordance with local policies and procedures. But when this second item was discov- ered during the investigation, said Project Manager Laura Graham, an indication from the Miniature Continuous Air Monitoring Systems, known as MINICAMS, alerted workers to the potential of a chemical-filled munition. After thorough assessment, it was determined that the munition con- tained the chemical agent HD. “We used the field investigation data along with the assessment results and decided to treat it as a “leaking” munition,” Graham said. “This determination was critical in the development of the plans and procedures required to conduct the de- struction operation safely.” Although further analysis determined that the munition was not leaking, ECBC’s CBARR team developed its operational plan as if the item was leaking to ensure additional safety measures were included. “The CBARR team of operators, engi- neers and safety professionals use all information available but sometimes is best to take the most conservative path for an operation,” Graham said. “In this case, we all felt that we would be assured of no surprises if we planned to handle the munition as if it were leaking.” U.S. ARMY PHOTO The destructionwasconducted usingthe A look at the carcass of the chemical munition after it was processed in the EDS during destruction operations at the former Savanna P2U2 EDS owned by the U.S. Army Army Depot.

The famous landmark and cultural icon originally read “Hollywoodland,” but the four last letters were dropped after renovations in 1949. The sign, situated on Mount Lee, in the Hollywood Hills area of the Santa Monica Mountains, overlooks Hollywood, Los Angeles. The sign, with white, capital letters spelling out “HOLLYWOOD” standing 45-feet tall, is 350 feet long. The sign was created as an advertisement for local real estate development, but its unexpected popularity and recognition prompted promoters to leave it in place. It has undergone restorations including security system installations to protect it against vandalism. It is protected and promoted by The Trust for Public Land, a nonprofit organization and its site and surrounding land are part of Griffith Park. The sign makes frequent appearances in popular culture, particularly in establishing shots for films and television programs set in or around Hollywood. Signs of similar style, but spelling different words, are frequently seen as parodies. The original purpose of the sign was to advertise the name of a new segregated housing development in the hills above the Hollywood district. Real COURTESY PHOTO estate developers dubbed it “Hollywoodland” and advertised it as a “superb wood and sheet metal structure continued to deteriorate. environment without excessive cost on the Hollywood side of the hills.” In 1978, a restoration campaign led by Hugh Hefner raised $250,000 from nine Thomas Goff, owner of the Crescent Sign Company designed the sign.

    Written by Simona and Giulia THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME: In 1781 many people, arising from Mexico, left the San Gabriel mission driven by the desire to found a new village in an area near to a river, an area identified by Brother Crespi. This small new "city" is called "the People of Our Lady Queen of the Angels over the Porziuncula of Assisi", and remained so for many years, a small village with few inhabitants. The name, too long, as the city grew and widened, it is "restricted" on the contrary becoming just Los Angeles, or LA. CURIOSITY: Disneyland Disneyland was born in 1955, the theme park in Los Angeles. It is the first theme park built in the world.

  • SFAR Mt Lee Rule
    Beachwood Canyon Neighborhood Association 2752 Westshire Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90068 323-462-BCNA (2262) www.BeachwoodCanyon.org [email protected] August 9, 2011 Docket Management Facility US Department of Transportation 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE West Building Ground Floor Room W12-140 Washington, DC 20590 Petition for Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) for the Mount Lee Area Purpose: This proposed rule seeks to provide for the safety and quiet enjoyment of the residents and visitors and other facilities in the Mt. Lee area of the City of Los Angeles (State of California). Aircraft have been reported flying within a few hundred feet of the hillside homes in this area (boundaries illustrated below). Increasing the minimum distance above the terrain (AGL) to 2,000 feet in this area should produce a noticeable difference in the aircraft sound environment, even if not fully restoring natural quiet to Griffith Park. The Mt. Lee area experiences heavy aircraft traffic as a result of the presence of the Hollywood Sign and tourism it attracts. The Proposed Language for the New Rule It shall be unlawful for any fixed wing aircraft or helicopter flying under visual flight rules to fly at an altitude of less than 2,000 feet over the surface bounded by Cahuenga Blvd. West at Barham Blvd., west on Cahuenga Blvd West to Broadlawn Dr., south on Broadlawn Dr. to Multiview Dr., south on Multiview Dr. to Mulholland Dr., south on Mulholland Dr. to Runyon Canyon Rd, south on Runyon Canyon Rd. to Vista St., south on Vista St. to Franklin Ave., east on Franklin Ave.

The Conservancy is the principal State planning agency for the Santa Monica Mountains Zone, which includes a significant portion of the Hollywood Community Plan Area. Policy PR3.4 supports the rezoning of paper streets for open space easements that can be used to connect trails and access recreational areas. The policy should adopt a tenant of zero net loss or erosion of public foot access on paper streets. The policy should state that where unpermitted physical encroachments into paper streets have occurred that no new building permits be issued on said properties until the encroachment is cured or said full, or partial, blockage of wildlife movement or public access is permanently mitigated to satisfaction of the Planning Director. The policy must be further expanded with specific language to be effective. The following language should be inserted to provide for effective public and wildlife access: No paper street, or section thereof, in the plan area shall be vacated without an initial study, public notice, a public hearing, and findings of no loss of potential public access or diminution of potential wildlife movement.
