  • Terr–14 Mule Deer
    TERR–14 MULE DEER 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2001 and 2002, the literature review, a camera feasibility study, the Mammoth Pool migration study (observation study, boat survey, and remote camera study), and a hunter access study were completed. A map of known mule deer summer and winter ranges, migration corridors, and holding areas was created based on the literature review. The camera feasibility study was conducted in the fall of 2001 to test the remote camera system for the spring 2002 remote camera study. The cameras were successful at capturing photographs of 82 animals, including photographs of six deer, during this testing period. The Mammoth Pool migration study consisted of an observation study, boat survey, and remote camera study. The study focused on documenting key migration routes across the reservoir and relative use, identifying potential migration barriers, and documenting any deer mortality in the reservoir. The observation study consisted of two observers positioned with binoculars at two observation points on Mammoth Pool at dusk and dawn in order to observe migrating deer. There were no observations of deer using the dam road. Two observations of deer were made out of a total of 51 observation periods. One observation consisted of a single deer that swam from the Windy Point Boat Launch area to the Mammoth Pool Boat Launch area. The other observation was of one group of five adult deer approaching the reservoir near the observation point by the Mammoth Pool Boat Launch, but turning back up the hill. There was no sign of difficulty in the deer swimming or exiting the reservoir and no obvious disturbance to the deer that turned back.

  • Preliminary Description of Surface Storage Options
    UPPER SAN JOAQUIN RIVER BASIN STORAGE INVESTIGATION PRELIMINARY DESCRIPTION OF SURFACE STORAGE OPTIONS The CALFED ROD recommended that the Upper San Joaquin River Basin Storage Investigation consider enlarging Friant Dam and Millerton Lake or development of an equivalent storage program that would increase available water supplies to support river restoration, improve river water quality, and increase water supply reliability. This paper presents preliminary descriptions of surface storage options being considered. A separate strategy is being developed to assess conjunctive use opportunities consistent with the CALFED Conjunctive Use Integrated Storage Investigation. D Many of the potential surface water storage sites described in this document were identified and evaluated by others over the past several years. Many of the preliminary descriptions were developed from information contained in previous reports and studies conducted for Reclamation, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE), California Department of Water Resources, local water agencies, and for the Coalition of the Friant Water Users Association (FWUA) and Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) in support of their ongoing efforts to settle litigation. R Potential sites for additional surface water storage are listed by major watershed, from north to south. For each potential site, the location, configuration, water sources, and water delivery assumptions are presented. Preliminary engineering studies are under way for these sites to identify the size, cost, and effectiveness of the facilities. Results of engineering studies will be presented in future documentation. A F T July 15, 2002 1 Upper San Joaquin River Basin Storage Investigation Preliminary Description of Surface Storage Options MERCED RIVER WATERSHED Montgomery Dam and Reservoir (New Reservoir) • Location: Montgomery Dam would be located about 3½ miles north of the town of Snelling on Dry Creek, a tributary that enters the Merced River downstream of Exchequer Dam from the north.

  • Three Days of the Creek Fire - September 4Th - 6Th 2020
    Three Days of the Creek Fire - September 4th - 6th 2020 The purpose of this brochure is to inform travelers on the Sierra Vista Scenic Byway of how this landscape was forever changed by the Creek Fire during the first three days of the incident. Driving the byway is an excellent way to grasp the effects of the largest single wildfire in California history. Please note that this information is from eyewitness observations, fire maps, documentaries from Outside the Lens, Jeff Aiello, and Channel 30 news. None of this information was obtained from officials of the USFS. Starting your journey in the small town of North Fork travel on Road 225 which turns into Minarets Road, Mammoth Pool Road, and the Sierra Vista Scenic Byway 81. To help gain some perspective of the area, we recommend your first stop be Redinger Overlook. Here you can witness the first sight of the San Joaquin River and the Big Creek Hydroelectric project. This area is the entry to the dramatic landscape that the Sierra Vista Scenic Byway has to offer and the first of many scenic overlooks. Next stop, the turnout at Mammoth Pool Powerhouse/Powerhouse 8. From this location you can see the approximate area where the Creek Fire started around 4 pm on Friday September 4th 2020. The fire ignited somewhere up the canyon towards Big Creek, across the San Joaquin River above the penstocks but below Camp Sierra, cause unknown as of June 2021. The fire began in that area and traveled up the canyon towards Big Creek, from there it began to spread at a rapid rate and behave unpredictably.

  • Rec 20 Trails (Spring, Summer and Fall, Non-Snow Season) 1.0 Executive Summary
    REC 20 TRAILS (SPRING, SUMMER AND FALL, NON-SNOW SEASON) 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study report evaluates the recreational trail use opportunities within the study area during the spring, summer, and fall seasons (winter recreation trails are addressed in the REC 21, Winter Recreation technical study). Data for this study was obtained from the results of the active and self-census recreation surveys that were conducted in 2002 as part of the REC 17, Dispersed Recreation Opportunities and Needs Assessment, study. The survey was designed to obtain information from survey respondents for five major activity/location groups including: camping, picnicking, trail use, boating, and recreation activities in stream or river corridors. Visitors to the Project area were asked to complete surveys on a variety of topics including: general background characteristics (e.g., group size, length of stay, approximate trip expenditures), areas visited, activities engaged in, and satisfaction with their recreational experience and the related facilities and conditions. Eighteen trailheads were identified by survey respondents, 14 of these are located near study area reservoirs or forebays. These trailheads provide access to a trail system which include trails that lead to a single destination, trails that are connected to an integrated network, and trails that pass through the study area. Two notable trails that pass through the study area are the California Riding and Hiking Trail and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail.
