Description of Source Water System
CHAPTER 2 DESCRIPTION OF THE SOURCE WATER SYSTEM 2.0 Description of the Source Water System During the last 100 years, the CSD’s water system has evolved into a very complex system. It is now estimated to serve a population of 1.4 million people spread out over 370 square miles (Table 2.1). The CSD treats imported raw water and local runoff water at three City WTPs which have a combined capacity of 378 MGD. The CSD treats water by conventional technologies using coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection. Recently, all CSD water treatment plants have been modified to provide for the addition of fluoride to the potable water supply. To ensure safe and palatable water quality, the CSD collects water samples at its reservoirs, WTPs, and throughout the treated water storage and distribution system. The CSD’s use of local and imported water to meet water demand is affected by availability, cost, and water resource management policies. Imported water availability decreases the need to carry over local water for dry years in City reservoirs. CSD policy is to use local water first to reduce imported water purchases; this policy runs the risk of increased dependence on imported water during local droughts.

Chapter 3 Affected Environment 3.1
CHAPTER 3 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT 3.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter describes existing site characteristics and resources that may be affected by the Otay River Estuary Restoration Project (ORERP or proposed action). The approximately 165.3-acre project site is located within the South San Diego Bay Unit of the San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). The project site encompasses two separate, non-contiguous areas: the Otay River Floodplain Site and the Pond 15 Site. The 33.51-acre Otay River Floodplain Site consists of undeveloped land held in trust for the people of California by the State Lands Commission and leased to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) for management as a National Wildlife Refuge. The 90.90-acre Pond 15 Site is also leased to the Service from the State Lands Commission and is currently part of a component of the South Bay Salt Works, which operates on the San Diego Bay NWR under a Special Use Permit from the Service. This chapter analyzes project-specific environmental effects, and is intended to tier from the programmatic Environmental Impact Statement and Record of Decision for the San Diego Bay NWR Comprehensive Conservation Plan. The Environmental Impact Statement for the San Diego Bay NWR is incorporated by reference (USFWS 2006). 3.1.1 Regional and Historical Setting San Diego Bay and the San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge San Diego Bay is a natural embayment located entirely in San Diego County, California, that originated from the alluvial plains of the Otay, Sweetwater, and San Diego Rivers. The entrance to the nearly enclosed water body is located approximately 9 miles northwest of the project site. -
Water, Capitalism, and Urbanization in the Californias, 1848-1982
TIJUANDIEGO: WATER, CAPITALISM, AND URBANIZATION IN THE CALIFORNIAS, 1848-1982 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Hillar Yllo Schwertner, M.A. Washington, D.C. August 14, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Hillar Yllo Schwertner All Rights Reserved ii TIJUANDIEGO: WATER, CAPITALISM, AND URBANIZATION IN THE CALIFORNIAS, 1848-1982 Hillar Yllo Schwertner, M.A. Dissertation Advisor: John Tutino, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This is a history of Tijuandiego—the transnational metropolis set at the intersection of the United States, Mexico, and the Pacific World. Separately, Tijuana and San Diego constitute distinct but important urban centers in their respective nation-states. Taken as a whole, Tijuandiego represents the southwestern hinge of North America. It is the continental crossroads of cultures, economies, and environments—all in a single, physical location. In other words, Tijuandiego represents a new urban frontier; a space where the abstractions of the nation-state are manifested—and tested—on the ground. In this dissertation, I adopt a transnational approach to Tijuandiego’s water history, not simply to tell “both sides” of the story, but to demonstrate that neither side can be understood in the absence of the other. I argue that the drawing of the international boundary in 1848 established an imbalanced political ecology that favored San Diego and the United States over Tijuana and Mexico. The land and water resources wrested by the United States gave it tremendous geographical and ecological advantages over its reeling southern neighbor, advantages which would be used to strengthen U.S. -
Draft Resource Management Plan for Potrero/Mason Property San Diego County
Draft Resource Management Plan for Potrero/Mason Property San Diego County April 2018 The County of San Diego Department of Parks and Recreation is pleased to announce the availability of the Draft Potrero/Mason Property (Property) Resource Management Plan (RMP) for public review and comment. This RMP has been prepared as a guidance document to manage and preserve the biological and cultural resources within the Property. As part of the RMP effort, biological and cultural surveys were conducted in 2012 to characterize the baseline conditions of the Property needed to develop future management and monitoring efforts. The vegetation communities within the Property include coast live oak woodland, eucalyptus woodland, chamise chaparral, coastal sage-chaparral transition, northern mixed chaparral, southern mixed chaparral, scrub oak chaparral, Diegan coastal sage scrub, coastal scrub/chaparral, non-native grassland, and foothill/mountain perennial grassland. These vegetation communities support multiple sensitive species including: coast horned lizard, loggerhead shrike, white-tailed kite, and Dulzura pocket mouse.

CAL FIRE Border Impact Statistics
BORDER AGENCY FIRE COUNCIL The Harris Fire Year End Report 2007 1 2 What is BAFC? – The concerned citizens of the United States and Mexico formed the Border Agency Fire Council. It is a consortium of government and private entities, emergency responders, environmental specialists, law enforcement, fire protection, and elected officials. It began under emergency conditions and has proven to be an extremely successful collaboration. People are alive today because of BAFC. Threatened habitat is protected and even improved because of this program. An unprecedented bi-national mutual assistance agreement is in place and working because of this program. The members of BAFC have worked without judgment or malice toward their fellow human being. From the beginning, their motivation has been primarily to save lives and protect the sensitive habitat of the border area. Thirty-four organizations make up BAFC; a list of members is at the end of this report. The members meet quarterly during the winter and every six to eight weeks during fire season. They meet at the San Diego headquarters of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) in El Cajon, California. Through collaborative effort, they have altered the environment to allow better access into the wildland for emergency responders, while respecting the natural values of the area. They have enhanced communication among emergency responders on both sides of the U.S. - Mexico border. They have reached out to people in both countries with safety messages in Spanish and English. This report provides a brief description of the many projects the Council and agencies have accomplished this year and ongoing projects started in other years yet still active today. -
