The CEDS meets the planning criteria from the Federal Economic Development Administration (EDA), thereby qualifying each jurisdiction to submit projects to EDA for funding assistance. VISION STATEMENT “To develop and strengthen economic development, and to provide a sustainable and healthy environment for the residents of Imperial County by providing training, job opportunities, a sustainable environment, and planning and delivery of transportation services to improve economic self-sufficiency, with an emphasis on Imperial County Target Areas. The County’s economy will be balanced and diversified amongst a variety of sectors, building opportunity by leading California’s renewable energy future while remaining true to our rich agricultural heritage. The Imperial County region will be fully integrated into the world economy by maximizing the advantages offered by its border location and abundant renewable resources.” STRATEGIC ASSETS AND OPPORTUNITIES Imperial County offers a number of economic development assets and opportunities. Binational Trade/Foreign Trade Zone. Strategically located at the U.S. Mexico border in proximity to Mexican maquiladoras in Mexicali, Imperial County offers a tremendous opportunity for international trade. The two Ports of Entry (POE) in and near Calexico support cross border product shipments totaling $16.1 billion in 2017, of which $10.6 billion are advanced manufacturing products. The County also has a third POE serving the Yuma area. In addition, an estimated $1 billion in consumer retail expenditures come from Mexico annually. The County is designated as Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) #257 and offers a flexible location designation that makes most areas of the County eligible to benefit from FTZ status. In addition, the Cali Baja Bi-National Mega-Region (Mega Region Initiative) is an intermediary that coordinates US- and Mexico-based economic development organizations, so as to foster in a coordinated manner long-term economic development strategies that promote the global competitiveness of Mega Region Initiative partners and San Diego County, Imperial County, and Baja California in Mexico in general. Another key economic development entity is the Imperial-Mexicali Bi-National Alliance (IMBA). To support growth in binational trade between Mexicali, Mexico and Imperial Valley the Imperial-Mexicali Binational Alliance (IMBA) was established on September 18, 2013 via a Memorandum of Understanding by the Imperial County Transportation Commission (ICTC), Imperial Valley Economic Development Corporation (IVEDC), Consejo de Desarrollo Económico de Mexicali (CDEM), Comisión de Desarrollo Industrial de Mexicali (CDI), el Instituto Municipal de Investigación y Planeación Imperial County CEDS | Page 1 Urbana de Mexicali

  • Introduction San Andreas Fault: an Overview
    Introduction This volume is a general geology field guide to the San Andreas Fault in the San Francisco Bay Area. The first section provides a brief overview of the San Andreas Fault in context to regional California geology, the Bay Area, and earthquake history with emphasis of the section of the fault that ruptured in the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906. This first section also contains information useful for discussion and making field observations associated with fault- related landforms, landslides and mass-wasting features, and the plant ecology in the study region. The second section contains field trips and recommended hikes on public lands in the Santa Cruz Mountains, along the San Mateo Coast, and at Point Reyes National Seashore. These trips provide access to the San Andreas Fault and associated faults, and to significant rock exposures and landforms in the vicinity. Note that more stops are provided in each of the sections than might be possible to visit in a day. The extra material is intended to provide optional choices to visit in a region with a wealth of natural resources, and to support discussions and provide information about additional field exploration in the Santa Cruz Mountains region. An early version of the guidebook was used in conjunction with the Pacific SEPM 2004 Fall Field Trip. Selected references provide a more technical and exhaustive overview of the fault system and geology in this field area; for instance, see USGS Professional Paper 1550-E (Wells, 2004). San Andreas Fault: An Overview The catastrophe caused by the 1906 earthquake in the San Francisco region started the study of earthquakes and California geology in earnest.

  • Field Trip Log Gulf of California Rift System: Laguna Salda-Valles Chico-San Feli- Pe, Baja California, México
    Geos, Vol. 28, No. 1, Septiembre, 2008 FIELD TRIP LOG GULF OF CALIFORNIA RIFT SYSTEM: LAGUNA SALDA-VALLES CHICO-SAN FELI- PE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MÉXICO Francisco Suárez-Vidal Departamento de Geologia División de Ciencias de la Tierra CICESE Oblique rifts, in which rift margins are oblique to the direction of continental separation, are reasonably common in mo- dern record, e.g. the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, the Tanganyika-Malawi-Rukwa rifts and the Gulf of California (McKenzie et al., 1970; Rosendhal et al., 1992; Stoke and Hodges, 1989; Manighetti et al., 1998; Nagy and Stock, 2000; Persaud, P., 2003; Persaud, et al., 2003). Although, how the oblique rift evolves is not well known. Oblique rifting remain poorly understand relative to those orthogonal rifts, where the rift margins are approximately perpendicular to the extension direction, and to strike-slip system (Axen and Fletcher, 1998). The Gulf of California is perhaps the best modern example of oblique continental rifting where we can study the pro- cesses of such rifting as they lead to the interplate transfer of a continental fragment. This area presents unique op- portunities for understanding key processes at transtensional plate margins, which is important for energy and mineral exploration, as well as for interpretation of tectonics ancient continental margins (Umhoefer and Dorsey, 1997). One of the main features along the length of the gulf is the fault system which connects active basins (incipient spreading centers) from south to north (Fig 1). Two main structural regions are defined. From the mouth of the gulf to the latitude of the Tiburon and Angel de La Guardia Islands several basins bathymetrically are well expressed, among them; the Pescaderos, Farallon, Carmen, Guaymas, San Pedro Martir and Salsipudes Basins.

  • Aeronautical and Airport Land Use Compatibility Study
    Imperial County Airport (IPL) Aeronautical and Airport Land Use Compatibility Study Study Overview Michael Baker International, Inc., was tasked by the City of El Centro, California to evaluate the proposed re-zoning of four vacant parcels within the vicinity of Imperial County Airport (IPL). As shown in the graphics throughout this study, the parcels are identified by Imperial County as Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 044-620-049, 044-620-050, 044-620-051, and 044- 620-053. The parcels are located at the northwest and southwest corners of Cruickshank Drive and 8th Street and are currently zoned as Residential Airport Zone (RAP) and fall within the B2 Zone (Extended Approach/Departure Zone) of the 1996 IPL Land Use Compatibility Plan and Map. Table 1 summarizes the existing and proposed characteristics of the four parcels. Since the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) last updated the California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook, the B2 Zone is no longer defined in the same manner and some zones around runways are also defined differently for Airport Land Use Compatibility Plans (ALUCPs). Therefore, it was necessary to review existing activity data and conditions at IPL in comparison to updated Caltrans guidance to determine if the proposed parcel re-zonings would produce incompatible land uses and/or airspace impacts.
