To Wood's 1883 History of Alameda County Donated to The LDS Family History Library in appreciation for its services to genealogists Index to Woodfs History of Alameda County History published in 1883 Index compiled as a WPA project in 1936 Index reprinted by The Livermore-Amador Genealogical Society March 1999 FAMILY HISTORY LIBRARY J fi \t$ 35 NORTH WEST TEMPLE af'\ SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84150 ' \HkJ I V" uV Preface Myron Winslow Wood's "History of Alameda County, California," published in 1883 and reprinted in 1969, is widely held by libraries in California and elsewhere. It contains an index, but only to the names of the prominent men whose biographies appear in the book. A full name and subject index was compiled by the Works Progress Administration in 1936. In contrast to the book itself, this index seems to be rare. A search for it in the online catalogs of the LDS Family History Library, the Library of Congress, the University of California, Sutro Library, the California State Library, the Oakland Public Library and the San Francisco City Library failed to find a copy. The Alameda County Library has a copy of the index (VCa 974 Wood's...) housed in a locked case in the Maurice Marks Center for Local and California History in the Fremont Main Library. It is a typewritten carbon copy manuscript of 223 pages in hard binding. It was the Alameda County Library copy of the index that was used to make the reprint presented here. Since Wood's original book is in widespread use, yet is nominally unindexed, the Livermore-Amador Genealogical Society (L-AGS) decided it would be a public service to reprint the public domain WPA index and make it available at cost to libraries and individuals. A better option would have been to post the index on the L-AGS Web site for free access to all. This choice would have been in keeping with L-AGS policy and past practices, exemplified by its posting of the records of local cemeteries and mortuaries. However, the manuscript of the index is so poorly legible that optical character recogni­ tion did not work. Manual keying in of the data would have been too daunt­ ing for L-AGS volunteers and posting scanned images of the index pages would have been prohibitive in Web server space. Hence the decision for hard copy printing. To order the L-AGS reprint of the WPA index to Wood's history, see the ordering information on the L-AGS Web site at: http: / / www.l-ags. org or send an inquiry to: L-AGS P.O.

  • 4.8 Hydrology and Water Quality
    4.8 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY 4.8.1 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING 4.8.1.1 Regional Characteristics The Altamont Motorsports Park (AMP) project is located in the eastern portion of Alameda County. The project region experiences a Mediterranean Climate, with almost all precipitation falling between the months of October and April. The temperature at the nearest monitoring station, Tracy Pumping Plant ranges from an average of 45 degrees during winter months and 72 degrees during summer months. The average annual precipitation is approximately 15 inches per year (Western Regional Climate Center 2007). 4.8.1.2 Surface Hydrology Regionally, the project area is located within the San Francisco Bay and Sacramento‐San Joaquin River Delta System. The Sacramento‐San Joaquin Delta consists of the largest estuary on the west coast and drains more than 40 percent of the water in California. The Delta system, consisting of over 1,100 square miles, lies at the confluence of the southward‐flowing Sacramento and northward‐flowing San Joaquin rivers. The San Joaquin Valley Basin is comprised of the trough bounded by the Sierra Nevada on the east and the Coastal Ranges on the west. According to the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA), the project site is generally located in the San Joaquin River Basin, within the Carbona watershed and immediately south and east of the Mountain House Creek watershed. The creek flows in a general northeasterly direction towards drain pipes that pass over the California Aqueduct and the Delta Mendota Canal and eventually discharges into Old River (San Joaquin County 2003). Under existing conditions, runoff from the project site is generally discharged towards a seasonal detention pond (approximately 200 feet by 75 feet in size) located on the northern portion of the project site.
