Construction Plans Appendix B Construction Plans Appendix C Photographic Record Log Laguna Canyon Road Drainage Improvements Project Photo Log Photograph: 1 Photo Date: June 5, 2009 Location: South of DS-110 project limits Direction: South Comment: Wide u-shaped feature with erosional rills on eastern side of channel. No scouring of vegetation along base of channel to indicate flows. Non-native grasses dominate. Photograph: 2 Photo Date: June 5, 2009 Location: DS-110 Direction: Southeast Comment: Feature is more swale-like in appearance, less defined, no evident OHWM or indication of regular flows. Feature narrows the terminal end is located on an upward slope. Photograph: 3 Photo Date: June 5, 2009 Location: DS-110 Direction: Northwest Comment: Hill slope topography evident. DS-110 is isolated from DS-64A at the base of the coastal sage scrub vegetated hill. 1 Laguna Canyon Road Drainage Improvements Project Photo Log Photograph: 4 Photo Date: June 16, 2009 Location: DS-64A Direction: Southeast Comment: Narrow roadside ditch appears to receive flows from the side of the road (right of frame in background). No connection to DS-110. Photograph: 5 Photo Date: June 16, 2009 Location: DS-64A Direction: Northwest Comment: Culvert of DS-64A passing below the IRWD access road. Recent vegetation mowing has occurred alongside the road. Photograph: 6 Photo Date: June 16, 2009 Location: DS-64A Direction: Northeast Comment: Sandbags placed in erosional runoff along steep IRWD access road. Flows connect with the outlet portion of DS-64A. 2 Laguna Canyon Road Drainage Improvements Project Photo Log Photograph: 7 Photo Date: June 5, 2009 Location: DS-11 Direction: West Comment: Culvert is 48” in diameter. Vegetation within channel near culvert is more sparse than the vegetation at the ends of the project area. Photograph: 8 Photo Date: June 5, 2009 Location: DS-11 Direction: East Comment: Riparian vegetation dense on banks. Photograph: 9 Photo Date: June 5, 2009 Location: DS-11 Direction: South Comment: Bank is asphalt paved at culvert location. CDFG jurisdiction extends well beyond stream banks. 3 Laguna Canyon Road Drainage Improvements Project Photo Log Photograph: 10 Photo Date: June 5, 2009 Location: DS-12 Direction: East Comment: DS-12 is more open with less of a riparian canopy, especially near the road. The drainage is shallower (low to no banks) and the species are mostly facultative plants. Photograph: 11 Photo Date: June 5, 2009 Location: DS-12 Direction: North Comment: Adjacent vegetation at this location (outside of drainage) is mostly upland. Photograph: 12 Photo Date: June 5, 2009 Location: DS-12 Direction: North Comment: Soil sample location located near culvert. 4 Laguna Canyon Road Drainage Improvements Project Photo Log Photograph: 13 Photo Date: June 22, 2009 Location: DS-12 Direction: East Comment: Shows terminal location of drainage with a dense riparian canopy but not a wetland indicative herbaceous layer. Photograph: 14 Photo Date: June 5, 2009 Location: DS-12 Direction: West Comment: From end of drainage looking “upstream.” Mostly unvegetated at base of channel through herbaceous layer. Photograph: 15 Photo Date: June 5, 2009 Location: DS-23 Direction: Southeast Comment: From end of the access road looking at drainage. Channel is more narrow and recessed 5-6 feet from the surface of the access road. Dense riparian vegetation (mostly mulefat shrubs) within channel. 5 Laguna Canyon Road Drainage Improvements Project Photo Log Photograph: 16 Photo Date: June 5, 2009 Location: DS-23 Direction: East Comment: Top of bank adjacent to site of soil pit. Photograph: 17 Photo Date: June 5, 2009 Location: DS-23 Direction: East Comment: End of channel, east of soil pit. Vegetation is still somewhat sparse at the base of the channel. Photograph: 18 Photo Date: June 5, 2009 Location: Near DS-12 and DS-23 Direction: Northwest Comment: Abandoned facilities near channels. Currently, there does not appear to be a surface connection to this location as DS-23 curves and ends well before this area. Grading will not impact these buildings. 6 Appendix D Arid West Data Sheets WETLAND DETERMINATION DATA FORM - Arid West Region ProjecVSite: '-"j1tN)" CCw1a"(\ lX\hß~ City/County: 0C0J1lQ.

  • LWHC Once Upon Laguna Woods
    Once Upon Laguna Woods by Dean O. Dixon Once upon a time in a magical land there were fiery volcanos, roiling seas, and fearsome animals. Then came warriors, conquerors, banishment, empires, slaves, wars, pirates, corruption, bandits, posses, lynching, ghosts, invasion, exploitation, riches, scandal and, yes, even happily ever after. Fiction? No. These are true stories about the land right under your feet in and around Laguna Woods. So what did happen once upon Laguna Woods? Well, are you up for some time travel? The beloved natural vistas from Laguna Woods reflect decades of conservation efforts that preserved tens of thousands of pristine acres from any future human development. You get to enjoy this in perpetuity without it ever being disturbed. Woods End Wilderness Preserve, Laguna Coast Wilderness Park, Aliso & Wood Canyons Wilderness Park, Crystal Cove State Park, Laguna Niguel Regional Park, and City of Irvine Open Space Preserve are contiguous in a synergistic display of your natural history. But what exactly do you see? Once Upon Laguna Woods February 27, 2016 page !2 of !60 Natural erosion has exposed up to 65 million years of rock strata laid down and compressed one layer atop another by eons of changes in the earth’s crust as influenced by climate, flora and fauna. Sand from deserts and beaches, mud from swamps and rivers, skeletons of sea and land creatures, recurrences of these, and still more are solidified and revealed like layers in a slice of cake for the delight of geologists and further study by anyone so inclined. Related tectonics further changed and are changing your area even today as the Atlantic Plate pushes the North American Plate westward into the Pacific Plate along that constant worry of yours, the San Andreas Fault.

Graves http://www.loc.gov/resource/calbk.095 LOVINGLY DEDICATED TO MY WIFE ALICE H. GRAVES PREFACE Time flies so swiftly, that I can hardly realize so many years have elapsed since I, a child five years of age, passed through the Golden Gate, to become a resident of California. I have always enjoyed reading of the experiences of California pioneers, who came here either before or after I did. The thought came to me, that possibly other people would enjoy an account of the experiences of my seventy years in the State, during which I participated in the occurrences of a very interesting period of the State's development. As, during all of my life, to think has been to act, this is the only excuse or apology I can offer for this book. J. A. GRAVES. ix CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE I FAMILY HISTORY. MARYSVILLE IN 1857. COL.

  • Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park County of Orange, California
    LSA ASSOCIATES, INC. RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN AUGUST 2009 ALISO AND WOOD CANYONS WILDERNESS PARK COUNTY OF ORANGE, CALIFORNIA 7.0 PUBLIC ACCESS AND RECREATION MANAGEMENT 7.1 INTRODUCTION The location of AWCWP within a growing metropolitan area with good highway access and opportunities for use year-round have made it an extremely popular recreation destination for local residents and regional, national, and international visitors alike. The park offers many opportunities for recreation use, including hiking, running, mountain cycling, equestrian use, nature viewing, birding, painting, photography, and wilderness education with an extensive network of trails. Hitching rails located at the park entrance, Wood Canyon at Mathis Trail, and at the Old Sycamore Grove accommodate equestrian uses, and a rest area located under the Sycamore Trees provides for small gatherings in the park. Among the permitted uses in the park, mountain cycling is the most popular. In fact, mountain cycling had been a common use in Aliso and Wood Canyons prior to the establishment of the AWCWP. Mountain cycling activities, both past and present, are indicative of the high public demands for open natural terrain in the county. The fact that the park site borders on so many different communities has resulted in increased demands on the site as a valuable open space resource. These demands can be expected to increase in future decades as the population in Orange County continues to grow and open space areas continue to diminish. Given the definition of Wilderness Park, public access and recreation are considered secondary to the primary goal of protecting and restoring the natural and cultural resources of the park.
