Had an outstanding time! I’m the assistant cook to Walt Conner who told me he starting cooking for this ride 20 years ago. One day, he will pass the spatula to me, and then I will have the power of the grill for the next 20 years. That’s a lot of burgers… As part of the cook crew, I was up at 3:45am to get the coffee ready, and we finished dinner dishes around 8:30pm. That left me with some time to ponder a little used, but very important resource to the longevity of not only to this organization but others as well, the youth. “Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.” Samuel Ullman Youth is not necessarily age, but the freshness of ideas, the motivation of a new goal and a view with a new look. Debbie Foster, our Junior Ambassador Chair, routinely encourages ideas and uses whatever chance she can in developing leadership from her court, every year. Her co-chairs are now adult former queens from past courts. Our yearly convention show has had the Western, English and Trail arenas chaired and run by past Ambassadors. Current Ambassadors can be found at any number of events helping and earning service hours. With relativity to age, my generation (the older one) is much different in some ways when compared to today’s generation. So much of this generation’s time is spent with high technology computers and cell phones. We are talking about a generation that has all but lost letter writing skills and rarely talks to anyone face-to-face anymore. Kids today have cell phones in which they can watch TV all day if they choose and their battery stays charged. Our equine way of life might seem boring to one who is programmed with the expectation of speed and instant gratification. We must draw upon our experiences that created the desire to join the equine world…A world in which nothing else mattered but the horse/mule/pony that we rode. A time spent trail riding, horse showing, horse camping or whatever it was - it was awesome. I don’t National Board care how many Gene Autry movies you watch. It is not the same as riding on a real Meeting live and breathing mount. Join us January 23, 2014, 7pm Get the youth of your corral involved. Give them ownership for their ideas by Foothill Trails District accepting and implementing any ideas that work for the betterment of the corral. Neighborhood Council Office Ownership breeds motivation and accountability which leads to a want-to attitude. 9747 Wheatland Ave. (Corner of Wheatland & Sunland) Bob Join us!

  • Appendix 3.A Detailed Description of Water Quality Priorities Appendix 3.A  Detailed Description of Water Quality Priorities
    Appendix 3.A Detailed Description of Water Quality Priorities Appendix 3.A Detailed Description of Water Quality Priorities The identification of Water Quality Priorities is an important first step in the EWMP process. The Water Quality Priorities provide the basis for prioritizing implementation and monitoring activities within the EWMP and CIMP and selection and scheduling of BMPs during the RAA. The identification of Water Quality Priorities is required in Section VI.C.5.a of the Permit as part of the development of a EWMP. The Permit defines three categories of WBPCs to support the development of priorities, as shown in Table 1. The Permit establishes a four‐step process that leads to prioritization and sequencing of the water quality issues within each watershed, ultimately leading to an organized list of Water Quality Priorities, as follows: Step 1: Water quality characterization (VI.C.5.a.i, pg. 58) based on available monitoring data, TMDLs, 303(d) lists, stormwater annual reports, etc.; Step 2: Water body‐pollutant classification (VI.C.5.a.ii, pg. 59), to identify water body‐pollutant combinations that fall into three Permit defined categories; Step 3: Source assessment (VI.C.5.a.iii, pg. 59) for the water body‐pollutant combinations in the three categories; and Step 4: Prioritization of the water body‐pollutant combinations (VI.C.5.a.iv, pg. 60). Table 1. Water Body-Pollutant Classification Categories (Permit Section IV.C.5.a.ii) Water Body‐Pollutant Category Combinations (WBPCs) Included 1 WBPCs for which TMDL Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBELs) and/or Receiving Water Limitations Highest Priority (RWLs) are established in Part VI.E and Attachments L and O of the MS4 Permit.

These tools will be used to inform development of flow criteria that sustain specific species, habitats, and beneficial uses. This toolkit may be used to develop policies on how to balance the need for local water supply and still support beneficial uses. In the near term, the outcomes of this analysis can inform decisions associated with proposed wastewater change petitions and stormwater management programs. In the longer term, the outcomes could inform decisions regarding the ability to support beneficial uses not currently supported, in combination with broader restoration planning efforts.

  • 4.8 Hydrology/Water Quality
    Draft EIR CHAPTER 4 Environmental Analysis October 2012 SECTION 4.8 Hydrology/Water Quality 4.8 HYDROLOGY/WATER QUALITY This section of the EIR analyzes the potential environmental effects on hydrology and water quality from implementation of the proposed Granada Hills–Knollwood Community Plan and implementing ordinances and the proposed Sylmar Community Plan and implementing ordinances (proposed plans). It addresses stormwater runoff and urban pollutants, flood hazards, including sea level rise, drainage and groundwater resources. A regulatory framework is also provided in this section, describing applicable agencies and regulations related to hydrology/water quality. The evaluation of the proposed plans’ effects on water supplies, including groundwater, is included in Section 4.14 (Utilities/Service Systems). Several comments regarding hydrology and water quality related to drainage and flooding were received in response to the Notice of Preparation (NOP) circulated for the proposed plans. The comments focused on the importance of the Pacoima Wash and other flood control channels for stormwater management and groundwater recharge. Baseline information for the analysis was compiled from a review of data and reports published by state agencies, environmental documents for projects in the vicinity, as well as information compiled and evaluated by the City of Los Angeles in conjunction with its stormwater management and hazard mitigation programs. These sources include the California Department of Water Resources, City of Los Angeles Water Quality Compliance Master Plan for Urban Runoff, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) floodplain mapping, the City of Los Angeles Hazard Mitigation Plan, General Plan, and Municipal Code, and other published materials. Full reference-list entries for all cited materials are provided in Section 4.8.5 (References).

  • 199 Levels in the Water Column Over Weeks Or Months. These Techniques
    levels in the water column over weeks or months. These techniques were not reviewed for this report. In-situ exposure techniques in use for trace metals in natural waters include diffusion gradient thin-film gels (DGT), hollow fiber permeation liquid membranes (HFPLM), and Donnan membrane technique (DMT) (Sigg et al. 2006). Solid phase microextraction samplers, which consist of glass fiber coated with poly(dimethylsiloxane) in copper casings were moored at coastal sites along southern California for 2-3 months at a time to measure p,p'-DDE in seawater (Zeng et al. 2005). Another option are passive samplers called semi-permeable membrane devices (SPMD)21. SPMDs are porous plastic tubes containing a fatty material that mimics fish membrane lipids. As water passes through the membrane material, hydrophobic compounds are retained as they would be in fish fatty tissues. These sampling devices are usually deployed in an aquatic environment for three to four weeks and target hydrophobic contaminants such as organopesticides, PAHs, and PCBs. PISCO maintains a number of instrument moorings around Park islands, which might be utilized for such a project. 12. Utilize NOAA's SAMSAP data to map current patterns of fishing effort outside the MPAs (H). With the help of Sanctuary staff, publically available SAMSAP data should be examined to see how spatial patterns of fishing effort in Park waters have changed since the creation of the MPAs. 13. Prioritize the synthesis of time series data from the Park's monitoring programs to discover the impacts of fishing on Park biota (H). Several years of data from the intertidal and kelp forest monitoring programs, much of which precedes the establishment of the SMRs, have been presented in annual reports (yearly snapshots), but most of the data has not been synthesized (e.g., years compared, trends examined).
