  • Monterey County
    Steelhead/rainbow trout resources of Monterey County Salinas River The Salinas River consists of more than 75 stream miles and drains a watershed of about 4,780 square miles. The river flows northwest from headwaters on the north side of Garcia Mountain to its mouth near the town of Marina. A stone and concrete dam is located about 8.5 miles downstream from the Salinas Dam. It is approximately 14 feet high and is considered a total passage barrier (Hill pers. comm.). The dam forming Santa Margarita Lake is located at stream mile 154 and was constructed in 1941. The Salinas Dam is operated under an agreement requiring that a “live stream” be maintained in the Salinas River from the dam continuously to the confluence of the Salinas and Nacimiento rivers. When a “live stream” cannot be maintained, operators are to release the amount of the reservoir inflow. At times, there is insufficient inflow to ensure a “live stream” to the Nacimiento River (Biskner and Gallagher 1995). In addition, two of the three largest tributaries of the Salinas River have large water storage projects. Releases are made from both the San Antonio and Nacimiento reservoirs that contribute to flows in the Salinas River. Operations are described in an appendix to a 2001 EIR: “ During periods when…natural flow in the Salinas River reaches the north end of the valley, releases are cut back to minimum levels to maximize storage. Minimum releases of 25 cfs are required by agreement with CDFG and flows generally range from 25-25[sic] cfs during the minimum release phase of operations.

Final Report (Following completion of work) Soberanes 2 BAER 2016 Burned Area Report Page 1 of 49 The US Forest Service Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) team has analyzed the entire Soberanes Fire for post-fire including the SOBERANES 2 BURNED-AREA REPORT/2500-8. An early version of this report covering only the northern section of the fire was posted on in early September before the fire was completely out but now that the final fire perimeter has been reached so the final version includes information from both assessments. This second report is a synopsis of BAER findings and the Forest Service’s internal request for implementation funding on Forest Service lands only. Forest Service lands that burned are very steep and remote with few values at risk such as Botcher’s Gap Campground, the road leading to the Pico Blanco Boy Scout Camp, hiking trails, native plants, fish, wildlife, and some cultural resources. Work to prepare these values at risk on Forest represents a small portion of the implementation work that will need to be done on the lands surrounding the National Forest; that is being addressed by the California Post-Fire Watershed Emergency Response Team and Natural Resource Conservation Service along with many land owners who will use the information that the Forest Service has generated across the total burn area to focus their work.

  • Area Plans – Carmel Coastal
    Area Plans – Carmel Coastal Vision Statement The common goal for the Carmel Coastal Planning Area must be that any future development on existing legal lots of record blend with and be clearly subordinate to the natural scenic character. In considering developments on existing legal lots of record, a standard of “minimal visibility” will subordinate those developments to the existing natural grandeur. Regarding style, when Buckminster Fuller visited the Monterey Peninsula, he recommended that new architecture should be invisible. Preservation of existing character should carry over into new construction. Any and all changes should indicate attachment to the existing character of the area. The desired vision for the future of the Carmel Coastal Planning Area is that development during the next twenty years retains the existing character of our area. Development of existing legal lots of record must require strict adherence to general plan directives, to retain its current forested and rural character. The trees, the rural twisty road, the cliffs, the meeting of land and sea, and the vistas along the Pacific Ocean, must be preserved for generations to come. The challenge is to protect the quality of life and treasures of this area while continuing to provide needed housing for its workforce. The importance of Highway One must be emphasized. Any development and widening plans for the roadway would damage the existing visual qualities of this scenic corridor, and seriously intrude into and alter adjacent neighborhoods. The general character of the Highway One corridor should be preserved in a rural and natural manner. Of special note is the importance of the Point Lobos Reserve, the Crown Jewel in the California State Parks system.

  • Foothill Yellow-Legged Frog
    Scientific Name: Rana boylii Common Name: Foothill Yellow-legged Frog G Rank: G3 IUCN Red List: Near Threatened NATURAL HISTORY, BIOLOGY, AND STATUS Range: The range of the foothill yellow-legged frog includes Pacific drainages from the upper reaches of the Willamette River system, Oregon, south to the Upper San Gabriel River, Los Angeles County, California (NatureServe 2011). Two specimens were collected in 1965 in Baja California, Mexico (Loomis 1965) but subsequent searches have not detected the species in that area (Welsh 1988, Hollingsworth 2000, Grismer 2002, Stebbins 2003). The species has disappeared from many portions of its historical range, especially in southern California, where it has been extirpated from Santa Barbara County to San Diego County (see Hayes and Jennings 1988, Jennings 1995), and has not been seen in or south of the Transverse Ranges since 1977 despite repeated searches (Sweet 1983, Jennings and Hayes 1994). 233 Habitat: This species inhabits partially shaded, rocky perennial streams and rivers at low to moderate elevations, in areas of chaparral, open woodland, and forest, rivers in a variety of habitats including riparian, mixed conifer, and wet meadow types (Nussbaum et al. 1983, Stebbins 1985, Hayes and Jennings 1988). Feller (2005) describes the specific habitat needs as follows: Foothill yellow-legged frogs are primarily stream dwelling. Stebbins (1985) describes foothill yellow-legged frogs as stream or river frogs found mostly near water with rocky substrate, often found in or near riffles, and on open, sunny banks. Other authors have expanded this description, and/or offer variations (e.g. Storer 1925; Fitch 1938; Zweifel 1955; Hayes and Jennings 1988; Kupferberg 1996a; Lind et al.
