  • Mandatory Moratorium on Non-Renewals After Recent Wildfire Activity
    RICARDO LARA CALIFORNIA INSURANCE COMMISSIONER BULLETIN PURSUANT TO INSURANCE CODE SECTION 675.1(b) AMENDED* TO: All Admitted and Non-Admitted1 Insurers Writing Residential Property Insurance in California FROM: Commissioner Ricardo Lara DATE: December 18, 2019 RE: Mandatory Moratorium on Non-Renewals After Recent Wildfire Activity *This bulletin supplements the bulletin of the same title issued on December 5, 2019 to provide additional information regarding ZIP Codes within or adjacent to the fire perimeters for the fires identified in the Governor’s various Emergency Declarations discussed herein. Recent insurer actions in California have created considerable disruption for California’s residents; particularly those who live in or near regions of the state potentially threatened by wildfires. The Commissioner continues to receive information from Californians who have struggled to obtain residential property insurance coverage in the voluntary market. In August of this year, the Department of Insurance published data, which shows an increasing trend of non-renewals for people at risk of wildfires.2 California’s property insurers are retreating from areas they identify as having higher wildfire risk. In many communities across the state, finding affordable comprehensive fire insurance has become difficult. So difficult that real estate transactions have stalled or been cancelled. If this trend is allowed to continue, it could further disrupt local real estate markets and cause property values to decline, reducing tax revenue available for vital services to residents such as fire protection, community fire mitigation, law enforcement, road repairs, and hospitals in these communities. Commissioner Lara has met with many of these affected communities and policyholders over the last year who are facing non-renewals and rising premiums.

  • 2019-2020 SAR Monitoring Annual Report
    • SECTION 11 Santa Ana Region 2019-2020 Monitoring Annual Report P8/235139 THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK SANTA ANA REGION 2019-2020 Monitoring Annual Report Executive Summary Strawberry Creek SMC Bioassessment Trend Site Monitoring was conducted by the Riverside County Watershed Protection Program during the 2019-2020 monitoring year to address the objectives of the Monitoring and Reporting Program (MRP) of the 2010 Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit. This report presents the results of this ninth year of monitoring under the MRP of the 2010 MS4 Permit. The MRP is limited to the area of Riverside County under Permittee jurisdiction within the Santa Ana River Watershed, referred to throughout this report as the Santa Ana Region or SAR. The climate of the SAR is SAR Boundary and Monitoring Sites Mediterranean, characterized by warm, dry summers and cool, rainy winters. Annual precipitation ranges from less than 10 inches in the alluvial valleys to over 36 inches in the mountains. In general, shading from the coastal western boundary of the Santa Ana Mountains translates to very little precipitation throughout valley areas of the inland SAR. Under natural conditions, the majority of streams in the SAR are ephemeral, meaning they are dry and only flowing during and immediately after rain. PERMITTEES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - SANTA ANA REGION MONITORING ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020 YEAR 1 MONITORING ANNUAL REPORT Monitoring and Assessment Requirements During the 2019-2020 monitoring year, the SAR Monitoring Program was implemented in accordance with the requirements of the 2010 MS4 Permit. All wet and dry weather monitoring components of the MS4 outfall monitoring program, receiving water monitoring program, and bioassessment monitoring (through participation in the Southern California Stormwater Monitoring Coalition [SMC] regional monitoring program) were completed.

    CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION Divisions of Boating and Waterways, Historic Preservation and Off-Highway Vehicles News Release For Immediate Release Contacts: Jan. 31, 2018 Adeline Yee Ashley Boarman California State Parks Save the Redwoods League (916) 651-8725 (415) 359-2312 California State Parks Begins Study of Fallen, Iconic ‘Tunnel Tree’ in Calaveras Big Trees State Park ARNOLD, Calif. – Marking one year since the famous Pioneer Cabin Tunnel Tree toppled, California State Parks, Save the Redwoods League and Humboldt State University today announced plans to use the fallen sequoia to study the tree’s life history and gather historic climate-related information for the surrounding area. The information will help California State Parks better manage the existing groves of redwood trees. The giant sequoia is the largest tree species in the world, with some trees reaching a diameter of 36 feet. Located within Calaveras Big Trees State Park within a relatively large sequoia grove containing more than 150 specimens estimated to be 2,000 years old, the Pioneer Cabin Tree was one of California’s oldest tourist attractions and a beloved specimen of a rare California native species. A combination of trunk and root decay and storm water runoff appears to have brought the giant sequoia down at its base on January 8, 2017, shattering it and a nearby cedar tree. The Pioneer Cabin Tree stood approximately 205 feet tall and was more than 19 feet in diameter (measured six feet from the ground). “California’s state parks are endowed with globally, nationally and regionally significant natural resources,” said Heather Reith, Senior Environmental Scientist at Calaveras Big Trees State Park.
