SSFL was developed as a remote site to test rocket engines and conduct nuclear research as early as 1947. The SSFL has been split into four main areas (Figure 2). The Department of Energy (DOE) needs to complete remediation of SSFL Area IV and the Northern Buffer Zone (NBZ) to comply with applicable requirements for cleanup of radiological and hazardous substances. These requirements include laws, regulations, orders, and agreements. To this end, DOE proposes to remove the DOE structures in Area IV of SSFL and clean up the affected environment in Area IV and the NBZ in a manner that is protective of the environment and the health and safety of the public and workers. Figure 1. SSFL Location DOE has removed many DOE‐owned facilities and support buildings from the Radioactive Material Handling Area (RMHF), but a couple remain. Santa Susana Field Laboratory North Wind Resource Consulting Ventura County, California 1 August 13, 2020, 2020 Pre-Demolition Biological Clearance Survey for the Radioactive Materials Handling Facility Figure 2. SSFL Areas Project Description Demolition activities were completed in various buildings at the RMHF as part of its cleanup agreements and to prepare the site for a final cleanup. At the moment, only buildings 4021, 4022, and 4621 remain. Building 4021: An empty radioactive material handling facility, consisting of a metal building with a concrete foundation. Half of the building was inaccessible due to radioactive contaminants. Other structure located between building 4021 & 4022: A vent structure that is part of building 4021. Building 4022: A radioactive materials handling facility, consisting of a metal building over seven below‐ grade vaults with vault covers. Building 4621: A hazardous material storage facility, consisting of a metal structure with a concrete foundation. Biological survey and protection operations will be conducted as stated in the Santa Susana Field Laboratory Remediation: Biological Assessment dated January 2018, “Prior to the ground disturbance associated with the initial phases of building demolition, soil remediation, and ground‐disturbing aspects of ground water activities, the Project Biologist will conduct pre‐project clearance surveys to ascertain the buildings are not being used by bats and native bird species, including owls and raptors. Vegetated areas will be surveyed for active bird nests and sensitive plant and wildlife species. Humane methods will be used to haze owls, raptors, native songbirds, and bats out of the structures prior to the initial phases of construction. Effective methods of deterrence may include the use of exclusionary netting, reflective flagging and/or flight diverters, sonic bird control devices, or a falconry service program. Building demolition will be conducted outside the breeding seasons of birds protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and bats unless the buildings can be completely confirmed for the absence of nesting birds or roosting bats.” Demolition activities will include only the removal of buildings, and not any foundations, or slabs or asphalt. Utilities are physically isolated at the building perimeters. Pre‐demolition biological surveys were initially conducted in all buildings back in January 29‐30, 2020 to identify any avian or other wildlife Santa Susana Field Laboratory North Wind Resource Consulting Ventura County, California 2 August 13, 2020, 2020 Pre-Demolition Biological Clearance Survey for the Radioactive Materials Handling Facility species that utilize buildings and the surrounding pavement. This time, structures and buildings 4021, 4022, and 4621 were surveyed once again. Vegetation and wildlife habitat on SSFL include widespread plant communities’ characteristic of the region, such as chaparral, grasslands, oak and walnut woodlands, as well as communities that are localized in distribution and are associated with prominent sandstone outcrops on SSFL and nearby areas. Activities during this phase will only involve the demolition of above grade structures; therefore no flora or natural habitat will be disturbed.

  • Updated Biological Inventory Report for the Rancho Malibu Religious Memorial Project, 4000 Malibu Canyon Road, City of Malibu, California
    November 18, 2015 Project Number 15-02065 Jake Jesson Assistant Project Manager Green Acres, LLC 22837 Pacific Coast Highway #775 Malibu, California 90265 Via Email: [email protected] Subject: Updated Biological Inventory Report for the Rancho Malibu Religious Memorial Project, 4000 Malibu Canyon Road, City of Malibu, California This letter report updates the previous findings of the Biological Inventory Report (BIR) for the Rancho Malibu Religious Memorial Project due to a change in the project scope and grading plan. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was first prepared for this site (CBA, 1997) and certified by the City of Malibu City Council (March 23, 1998) along with conditions of approval contained in Conditional Use Permit No. 96-005. A BIR was prepared for the project site by Rincon Consultants, Inc. (Rincon) in May 2007 for plans to build a 146 room luxury hotel. An updated report was prepared in September 2011 (Rincon) as part of a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) application and Site Plan Review. In February of 2012, Rincon conducted a native tree assessment. In 2011 a reconnaissance survey and BIR update was prepared by Rincon to support the applicant’s plans to change the project from the development of a luxury hotel to a religious memorial and cemetery. This BIR (October 2015) documents the changes in potential impacts to special-status biological resources as they relate to the revised scope and grading plan for the proposed religious memorial and cemetery. PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The project site is located in the central portion of the City of Malibu, immediately north of Pacific Coast Highway between Malibu Canyon Road and Civic Center Way at 4000 Malibu Canyon Road.

Magney California Native Plant Society, Rare Plant Program, Locally Rare Project Updated 4 January 2017 Ventura County is located in southern California, USA, along the east edge of the Pacific Ocean. The coastal portion occurs along the south and southwestern quarter of the County. Ventura County is bounded by Santa Barbara County on the west, Kern County on the north, Los Angeles County on the east, and the Pacific Ocean generally on the south (Figure 1, General Location Map of Ventura County). Ventura County extends north to 34.9014ºN latitude at the northwest corner of the County. The County extends westward at Rincon Creek to 119.47991ºW longitude, and eastward to 118.63233ºW longitude at the west end of the San Fernando Valley just north of Chatsworth Reservoir. The mainland portion of the County reaches southward to 34.04567ºN latitude between Solromar and Sequit Point west of Malibu. When including Anacapa and San Nicolas Islands, the southernmost extent of the County occurs at 33.21ºN latitude and the westernmost extent at 119.58ºW longitude, on the south side and west sides of San Nicolas Island, respectively. Ventura County occupies 480,996 hectares [ha] (1,188,562 acres [ac]) or 4,810 square kilometers [sq. km] (1,857 sq. miles [mi]), which includes Anacapa and San Nicolas Islands.

  • FACT SHEET: New Visitor Center at King Gillette Ranch
    FACT SHEET: New Visitor Center at King Gillette Ranch GENERAL A new interagency visitor center will open in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area on June 9 at King Gillette Ranch, the historic heart of the Santa Monica Mountains. Under the terms of a cooperative management agreement, the Anthony C. Beilenson Interagency Visitor Center will be jointly managed by the National Park Service (NPS), California State Parks (CSP), Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy (SMMC), and the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA). The surrounding parkland is managed by MRCA. Formerly a horse stable for the Gillette Mansion, the re-purposed building unifies the local, state, and federal parks for SMMNRA’s 35 million annual visitors and is a national model for cooperation and efficiency. Few locations in California offer in one setting the opportunity to understand a cross-section of California’s rich history, including sites that represent Native American settlement, Spanish missions and adobes, Mexican ranchos, California homesteading, and modern movie-making. The new interagency visitor center replaces an existing NPS visitor center located outside the boundary in a poor-visibility area. That center will be closed to promote greater efficiency. Complimentary two-hour parking is available adjacent to the visitor center. A larger parking lot administered by the MRCA is nearby for a $7 all-day permit. HISTORY The prehistoric Native American Chumash village of Talopop covers the western portion of the site. Extensive archeological records are still present today for what is believed to be the largest interior Chumash settlement in California. King C. Gillette, the razor magnate, purchased the ranch in 1926 and commissioned Wallace Neff, considered “Architect of California’s Golden Age,” to design the estate, which was completed in 1928.

    August 30, 2013 (20252) Russ Boudreau, P.E. Moffatt & Nichol 3780 Kilroy Airport Way, Suite 600 Long Beach, CA 90806 SUBJECT: POTENTIAL IMPACTS TO TRANCAS LAGOON BY EQUIPMENT CROSSING FOR BROAD BEACH RESTORATION PROJECT Dear Mr. Boudreau: Broad Beach is located in the City of Malibu in the northwestern portion of Los Angeles County (Figure 1). Since the 1970s, Broad Beach has gradually narrowed, exposing beach front property to flooding and damage during winter storms and high tides, and materially impeding and often making lateral beach access and recreational activities along the beach all but impossible. (Moffatt & Nichol 2012). The Broad Beach Restoration Project (Project) proposes to restore sand to Broad Beach by trucking sand from inland quarry sources and placing it on the beach. During beach construction, equipment will be staged at the western end of the Los Angeles County Zuma Beach parking lot (Zuma lot 12). Equipment needs to cross the mouth of Trancas Creek to the west of the parking lot so that the construction crew can work on sand restoration at Broad Beach. During most times of the year, the mouth of Trancas Creek is closed by a wide sand bar. Equipment will access Broad Beach via this sand bar. However, during the winter, high flows in Trancas Creek and/or large winter waves may cause this sandbar to breach. In order to safely cross Trancas Lagoon when the sand bar is breached, a safe method for equipment to cross the creek is needed. In order to avoid delaying work when the lagoon is breached, it is proposed that a temporary bridge structure be installed during the wet season prior to the occurrence of predicted rainstorms to allow the lagoon to breach and connect to the ocean while construction could continue.

In citations of articles, both here and in the taxonomic treatments, and also in nomenclatural citations, the titles of serials are rendered in the forms recommended in G. D. R. Bridson and E. R. Smith (1991). When those forms are abbreviated, as most are, cross references to the corresponding full serial titles are interpolated here alphabetically by abbreviated form. In nomenclatural citations (only), book titles are rendered in the abbreviated forms recommended in F. A. Stafleu and R. S. Cowan (1976–1988) and F. A. Stafleu and E. A. Mennega (1992+). Here, those abbreviated forms are indicated parenthetically following the full citations of the corresponding works, and cross references to the full citations are interpolated in the list alphabetically by abbreviated form. Two or more works published in the same year by the same author or group of coauthors will be distinguished uniquely and consistently throughout all volumes of Flora of North America by lower-case letters (b, c, d, ...) suffixed to the date for the second and subsequent works in the set. The suffixes are assigned in order of editorial encounter and do not reflect chronological sequence of publication. The first work by any particular author or group from any given year carries the implicit date suffix "a"; thus, the sequence of explicit suffixes begins with "b". Works missing from any suffixed sequence here are ones cited elsewhere in the Flora that are not pertinent in these volumes.
