  • California Clapper Rail (Rallus Longirostris Obsoletus) 5-Year Review
    California clapper rail (Rallus longirostris obsoletus ) 5-Year Review: Summary and Evaluation Photo by Allen Edwards U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Sacramento Fish and Wildlife Office Sacramento, California April 2013 5-YEAR REVIEW California clapper rail (Rallus longirostris obsoletus) I. GENERAL INFORMATION Purpose of 5-Year Reviews: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is required by section 4(c)(2) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) to conduct a status review of each listed species at least once every 5 years. The purpose of a 5-year review is to evaluate whether or not the species’ status has changed since it was listed (or since the most recent 5-year review). Based on the 5-year review, we recommend whether the species should be removed from the list of endangered and threatened species, be changed in status from endangered to threatened, or be changed in status from threatened to endangered. The California clapper rail was listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Preservation Act in 1970, so was not subject to the current listing processes and, therefore, did not include an analysis of threats to the California clapper rail. In this 5-year review, we will consider listing of this species as endangered or threatened based on the existence of threats attributable to one or more of the five threat factors described in section 4(a)(1) of the Act, and we must consider these same five factors in any subsequent consideration of reclassification or delisting of this species. We will consider the best available scientific and commercial data on the species, and focus on new information available since the species was listed.

    Redwood City New General Plan 4.8 Hydrology and Water Quality 4.8 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY This section discusses surface waters, groundwater resources, storm water collection and transmission, and flooding characteristics in the plan area. Key sources of information for this section include the San Francisco Bay Basin Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) prepared by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (January 2007), the Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) for the City of Redwood City (2005), and the Unified Stream Assessment in Seven Watersheds in San Mateo County, California by the San Mateo Countywide Water Pollution Prevention Program (August 2008), Kennedy/Jenks/Chilton Consulting Engineers Water, Sewer Storm Drainage Master Plan dated 1986, and Winzler & Kelly’s Bayfront Canal Improvement Project Design Development Alternative Analysis, dated December 2003. 4.8.1 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING Hydrologic Conditions The regional climate of the plan area is typical of the San Francisco Bay Area and is characterized by dry, mild summers and moist, cool winters. Average annual precipitation in the plan area is about 20 inches. About 80 percent of local precipitation falls in the months of November through March. Over the last century for which precipitation records are available, annual precipitation has ranged from an historic low of 8.01 inches in 1976 to an historic high of 42.82 inches in 1983.1 Surface Waters Figure 4.4-1 (in Section 4.4, Biological Resources) depicts surface water bodies in the plan area, which include Redwood and Cordilleras Creeks and their tributaries. Also shown are bay channels, including Westpoint Slough, Corkscrew Slough, northerly reaches of Redwood Creek, Smith Slough and Steinberger Slough, the Atherton Channel (Marsh Creek), and the Bay Front Canal.

A small band of ordinary Citizens come together to take on these potent forces AND WIN!! The San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge is created protecting many threatened wetlands! Hope is restored and the citizens put away their superhero costumes and return to normal life. Art courtesy of Sam High DISHEARTENED ! It isn’t over. Twenty years later aggressive development once again threatens wetlands not included within the Refuge. UNDAUNTED!! The band of Citizens rises again. New heroes and heroines join the fray. AMAZING!! International conglomerates are defeated, local developers prove powerless against the band of Citizens. SATISFYING!! The Refuge boundary is expanded and new wetlands are acquired and protected. The Refuge is renamed the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Despite its long name the Refuge flourishes. The Citizens again return to their daily lives. GLOOM!!! Thirty years later..... At this very moment!!! Crucial wetlands face destruction. The wetlands of Newark’s Area 4 and Redwood City’s salt ponds are home for breeding harbor seals, tens of thousands of shorebirds and waterfowl and for several endangered critters. These wetlands clean our water and our air and provide a necessary home for our bay’s fish and shellfish. But the Bay Area’s richest developers and the nation’s largest privately held corporation don’t care. They just see dollar signs. INCREDIBLE!!! The band of Citizens awakens once again to face its most daunting challenge.
