  • 7. Visitor Use and Recreation Resources
    7. Visitor Use and Recreation Resources Reclamation provides a variety of services and opportunities for recreation at the New Melones Lake Area, and the public is encouraged to take advantage of these resources. This section describes recreational opportunities available in various management areas of the lake and associated uplands, and identifies strategies that Reclamation currently uses to manage these management areas and to manage recreation overall. For each management area, issues that Reclamation may address in the RMP/EIS are identified as well. This section is organized according to the following subsections: • Overview. This subsection describes general recreational resources and management of those resources in the New Melones Lake Area. • Recreational Opportunities. This subsection describes aquatic and land based recreational opportunities and management of special uses. • Recreational Facilities and Management Areas. The planning area is broken down into management units, each with their own issues and opportunities. This section describes recreational facilities maintained by Reclamation according to management units. • Trends. This section summarizes the influences that Reclamation may address while planning for recreational resources in the RMP/EIS. 7.1 Overview 7.1.1 Introduction Lakes and rivers have always been a primary focus for outdoor recreation activities, and many outdoor recreational activities are considered water dependent or water enhanced. Water dependent recreational activities include boating, fishing, and swimming, which are often complemented by land-based activities, such as picnicking, camping, hunting, spelunking, and hiking. Recreational facilities to accommodate these activities include beaches, day use areas, restrooms, parking lots, boat ramps, trails, access roads, and campgrounds. These activities and facilities provide much of the foundation for recreation opportunities in California.

  • 2. Physical Resources
    2. Physical Resources 2.1 Overview 2.1.1 Introduction Physical resources including climate, topography, air resources, noise, geologic resources (excluding caves), caves, and hydrologic resources form the basis for the combination of resources found in New Melones Lake Area. This section describes these resources and gives an overview of the issues associated with them that Reclamation may address in the RMP/EIS, as well as strategies that Reclamation currently uses to manage those resources. This section is organized into the following subsections: • Climate: Climatic variables include precipitation and temperature. Precipitation influences management actions by affecting lake levels, and in turn, access to certain resources. Temperature is one of the main influences on season of use. • Topography: Topography includes all features that contribute to diverse surface assemblage. Topographic features including steepness and aspect affect access to resources and influence such factors as location of vegetative communities and fire management. • Air Resources: The air resources section focuses primarily on factors that influence air quality. Although management of the New Melones Lake Area has little effect on air quality in the overall region, localized effects may occur at particular times of the year, or in particular locations at the lake. • Noise: Noise includes all sources of sound generated at or near the lake area which affect humans or visitors. Noise may be from natural sources, such as wind, or it may be generated by human sources, such as boats or cars. • Geologic Resources (excluding caves): Geologic resources include subsurface features, soils, and rock formations. The geologic resources section describes these features and relates them to current management.
