The indivi'dual lifelines are usually construct-edor modified at different time p,eriods, resulting in their being built to different standards and indifferent siting criteria being applied to different segments of an individual lif,eline or to different lifelines that provid-e similar functions. PresentlyI thesiting revi,ew usually do-es not ,consider the impact of the proximity or collocation of one lifeline upon the risk to or vulnerability of -oth,er lifelines fr·om natural or manmade hazards or disasters, either because the other lifelin,es have not yet been installed o-r because such a consideration has not been identified as a f,actor in the siting evaluation. In August 1988 I ,a train derailment in northern Califo-rnia also damaged a petroleum pipeline which was buried along the railroad right-of-way. The r,esult was a spill of the pipeline fluids in addition to the derailment {but no significant 10-ss of property and no injuries to or casualties) ( 0 1)". The state of California Office of the Fire Marshall became involved as it is the California agent responsible for the inspe-ction and enforcement of safety criteria for pipelines that transport liquids. When another derailment in San Bernardino occurred in May 1989(1­ 2), which resulted in sever,e property da.mage and the loss of life, th,e Office of the Fire Marshall also r-esponded to see if the derailment had impacted a petroleum products pipeline that was buried alo-ng the railroad right-of-way. It was decided that the pipeline was noi! damaged I and the fire and safety personnel turned over the site to the railroad to allow them to- clean up the site. About a w,eek later the pipeline ruptured and the reSUlting fire caused considerable property damage and loss of

Earle Abstract century, although he noted the possible survival of The Desert Serrano of the Mojave River, little documented by “perhaps a few individuals merged among other twentieth century ethnographers, are investigated here to help un- groups” (Kroeber 1925:614). In fact, while occupation derstand their relationship with the larger and better known Moun- tain Serrano sociopolitical entity and to illuminate their unique of the Mojave River region by territorially based clan adaptation to the Mojave River and surrounding areas. In this effort communities of the Desert Serrano had ceased before new interpretations of recent and older data sets are employed. 1850, there were survivors of this group who had Kroeber proposed linguistic and cultural relationships between the been born in the desert still living at the close of the inhabitants of the Mojave River, whom he called the Vanyumé, and the Mountain Serrano living along the southern edge of the Mojave nineteenth century, as was later reported by Kroeber Desert, but the nature of those relationships was unclear. New (1959:299; also see Earle 2005:24–26). evidence on the political geography and social organization of this riverine group clarifies that they and the Mountain Serrano belonged to the same ethnic group, although the adaptation of the Desert For these reasons we attempt an “ethnography” of the Serrano was focused on riverine and desert resources. Unlike the Desert Serrano living along the Mojave River so that Mountain Serrano, the Desert Serrano participated in the exchange their place in the cultural milieu of southern Califor- system between California and the Southwest that passed through the territory of the Mojave on the Colorado River and cooperated nia can be better understood and appreciated.

    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY SAND AND GRAVEL RESOURCES OF THE SAN BERNARDINO NATIONAL FOREST, CALIFORNIA SUMMARY PAMPHLET TO ACCOMPANY GEOLOGIC MAP By R.C. Greene and J.P. Calzia OPEN-FILE REPORT 95-535 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards or with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. U.S. Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California 1995 ABSTRACT The San Bernardino National Forest is located in the San Gabriel, San Bernardino, and San Jacinto Mountains in southern California. Bedrock in these ranges consists principally of gneiss, schist, and granitic rocks with minor quartzite and limestone. Unconsolidated and semi-consolidated surficial deposits of Quaternary age overlie the bedrock and contain abundant sand and gravel resources. The principal types of sand and gravel resources include stream deposits, alluvial fans, glacial and glaciofluvial deposits, beach and dune deposits, and pre-Quaternary marine deposits that accumulated on continental shelves. Sand and gravel resources in stream, alluvial fan, and pre- Quaternary marine deposits are abundant in the San Bernardino National Forest and vicinity. Field investigations suggest that the Lytle Creek area in the San Gabriel Mountains, the Cajon Canyon to Cajon Pass, upper Santa Ana River, Smarts Ranch, and Silverwood Lake areas in the San Bernardino Mountains, and the San Jacinto River area in the San Jacinto Mountains have high potential for sand and gravel resources in the San Bernardino National Forest.
