  • Conceptual Design Documentation
    Appendix A: Conceptual Design Documentation APPENDIX A Conceptual Design Documentation June 2019 A-1 APPENDIX A: CONCEPTUAL DESIGN DOCUMENTATION The environmental analyses in the NEPA and CEQA documents for the proposed improvements at Oceano County Airport (the Airport) are based on conceptual designs prepared to provide a realistic basis for assessing their environmental consequences. 1. Widen runway from 50 to 60 feet 2. Widen Taxiways A, A-1, A-2, A-3, and A-4 from 20 to 25 feet 3. Relocate segmented circle and wind cone 4. Installation of taxiway edge lighting 5. Installation of hold position signage 6. Installation of a new electrical vault and connections 7. Installation of a pollution control facility (wash rack) CIVIL ENGINEERING CALCULATIONS The purpose of this conceptual design effort is to identify the amount of impervious surface, grading (cut and fill) and drainage implications of the projects identified above. The conceptual design calculations detailed in the following figures indicate that Projects 1 and 2, widening the runways and taxiways would increase the total amount of impervious surface on the Airport by 32,016 square feet, or 0.73 acres; a 6.6 percent increase in the Airport’s impervious surface area. Drainage patterns would remain the same as both the runway and taxiways would continue to sheet flow from their centerlines to the edge of pavement and then into open, grassed areas. The existing drainage system is able to accommodate the modest increase in stormwater runoff that would occur, particularly as soil conditions on the Airport are conducive to infiltration. Figure A-1 shows the locations of the seven projects incorporated in the Proposed Action.

  • Phylogenetic Analysis of Geotrupidae (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea) Based on Larvae
    Systematic Entomology (2004) 29, 509–523 Phylogenetic analysis of Geotrupidae (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea) based on larvae JOSE´ R. VERDU´ 1 , EDUARDO GALANTE1 , JEAN-PIERRE LUMARET2 andFRANCISCO J. CABRERO-SAN˜ UDO3 1Centro Iberoamericano de la Biodiversidad (CIBIO), Universidad de Alicante, Spain; 2CEFE, UMR 5175, De´ partement Ecologie des Arthropodes, Universite´ Paul Vale´ ry, Montpellier, France; and 3Departamento Biodiversidad y Biologı´ a Evolutiva, Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (CSIC), Madrid, Spain Abstract. Thirty-eight characters derived from the larvae of Geotrupidae (Scarabaeoidea, Coleoptera) were analysed using parsimony and Bayesian infer- ence. Trees were rooted with two Trogidae species and one species of Pleocomidae as outgroups. The monophyly of Geotrupidae (including Bolboceratinae) is supported by four autapomorphies: abdominal segments 3–7 with two dorsal annulets, chaetoparia and acanthoparia of the epipharynx not prominent, glossa and hypopharynx fused and without sclerome, trochanter and femur without fossorial setae. Bolboceratinae showed notable differences with Pleocomidae, being more related to Geotrupinae than to other groups. Odonteus species (Bolboceratinae s.str.) appear to constitute the closest sister group to Geotrupi- nae. Polyphyly of Bolboceratinae is implied by the following apomorphic char- acters observed in the ‘Odonteus lineage’: anterior and posterior epitormae of epipharynx developed, tormae of epipharynx fused, oncyli of hypopharynx devel- oped, tarsal claws reduced or absent, plectrum and pars stridens of legs well developed and apex of antennal segment 2 with a unique sensorium. A ‘Bolbelas- mus lineage’ is supported by the autapomorphic presence of various sensoria on the apex of the antennal segment, and the subtriangular labrum (except Eucanthus). This group constituted by Bolbelasmus, Bolbocerosoma and Eucanthus is the first evidence for a close relationship among genera, but more characters should be analysed to test the support for the clade.

In addition, Mr. Masters is requesting that the Service include the Ben Lomond Wallflower (Erysimum teretifolium), and the Ben Lomond Spineflower (Chorizanthe pungens var. hartwegiana) on the incidental take permit, but that the permit is not being sought for incidental take of these two plant taxa. The potential taking would occur incidental to development of 13 single-family residences at an undeveloped, 18.07-acre parcel (APN 022-631-22) owned by the Applicant and located on Bean Creek Road in Scotts Valley (Santa Cruz, County), CA.

  • Reproductive Behaviour and Development of the Dung Beetle Typhaeus Typhoeus (Coleoptera, Geotrupidae)
    REPRODUCTIVE BEHAVIOUR AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE DUNG BEETLE TYPHAEUS TYPHOEUS (COLEOPTERA, GEOTRUPIDAE) by LIJBERTBRUSSAARD Dept. of Animal Ecology and Dept. of Soil Science & Geology, Agricultural University, Wageningen, The Netherlands . ABSTRACT This paper is part of a study of the contribution of dung beetles to soil formation in sandy soils. Typhaeus typhoeus (Linnaeus) has been selected because it makes deep burrows and is locally abundant. The beetles are active from autumn until spring, reproduction takes place from February to April. Sex pheromones probably influence pair formation. The sexes co­ operate in excavating a burrow (up to 0.7 m below surface) and in provisioning the burrow with dung as food for the larvae. Co-operation is reset by scraping each other across the thorax or elytra. Dung sausages, appr. 12.5 cm long and 15 mm in diameter, are manufac­ tured above each other. Development is rapid at 13—17°C. The life cycle is accelerated by a cold period in the third larval stage. These requirements are met by soil temperatures up to 15° C in summer and down to 5 °C in winter. The life cycle lasts two years, but longer under certain conditions. Newly hatched beetles make their way to the surface through the soil, but do not follow the old shaft. Adults reproduce only once. Differential rate of com­ pletion of the life cycle and occasional flying probably reduce the risk of local extinction. The study is thought to be relevant for behavioural ecology and soil science. CONTENTS tion of how much dung beetles contribute to Introduction 203 soil formation today.

  • Full Drought Devils List
    The Drought Devils collection features plants well adapted to California gardens and are classified as needing low to moderate amounts of supplemental summer water. This group primarily includes natives from California, the Mediterranean, and Australia - that thrive in the Bay Area’s summer-dry climate. Drought Devils are drought-tolerant once established assuming proper soil structure and standard seasonal precipitation. These plants will need regular water for about two dry seasons in order to develop strong stems and extensive root systems. By the third dry season, these plants should be able to thrive with low amounts of supplemental water, expect for times of extreme hot weather or prolonged drought. For more information please visit our website at: www.devilmountainnursery.com/droughtdevils Please note that due to seasonal availability not all plants listed are available at all times. To inquire about availability, please contact our sales department at (925) 829-6006 or [email protected] *By no means is this list an entire summary of all drought-tolerant plants that do well in California gardens. This list is limited to plants that Devil Mountain stocks or can source from our vendors. (If you have had experience with a plant and think it should be included on this list, please contact us and we would be happy to hear your suggestions. Adversely, if you have had experience with a plant that you think should not be included on this list, feel free contact us as well.) These plants are organized by type, so that choosing the right plants for the right space and function will be made easier.
