Dedicated people spent countless hours discussing concerns, issues and potential solutions to problems. This dedication leads to the production of documents that hope to articulate the outcome of the dialog in a way that is useful for the community. The executive summary identifies the Nacitone Watersheds Management process and products, and attempts to capture the major core findings arising out of both efforts. The Vision The Nacimiento/San Antonio River Watersheds Management Plan should protect water quality and watershed uses for all stakeholders. The Purpose The purpose of the Nacitone Watersheds Management Plan is to identify the existing conditions of and stresses in these watersheds as they relate to water quality, and recommend methods for reducing or eliminating those stressors such as alternative land use practices. The Process The Nacitone Watersheds Management planning process is a stakeholder driven process that represents the interests of residents, agencies and businesses that work and live in the watersheds. The stakeholder process used to produce these products presents an investment of 8800 volunteer hours of time in meetings, field trips, community outreach and planning. The magnitude of the effort includes far more than this if one includes the hundreds of contacts made through flyers, press releases and web-site visits. Each of the products was placed on the web-site for public review. Public comment periods were held for the Goals and Strategies document and the Watershed Management Plan. There were Steering and Technical Advisory Committees as well as a staff team guiding the process and development of the products. The members of each are listed in the acknowledgement section of the plan and referenced in Part 1 “How the Plan was Prepared.” The Products The Nacitone Watersheds Plan was initiated by the Monterey County Water Resources Agency (MCWRA) and funded by a grant from the Regional Water Quality Control Board. As part of the grant, several products were produced to assist the watershed stakeholders in gathering and analyzing existing information about the watersheds to discern critical issues facing the watersheds and potential remedies. These products include: Watershed Resources Inventory (WRI)—Existing watershed information was identified including reports, studies, maps, Geographic Information System (GIS) files, and technical data covering land use, water supply, water quality, ecology, hydrology, habitat and vegetation, agricultural and grazing practices, and planning efforts. The inventory is comprised of a spreadsheet file containing over 300 entries as well as an annotated bibliography of a select number of the entries. 5 Analysis of the WRI (Analysis)— Existing information was compiled in order to establish a baseline describing existing watershed conditions including land use, major water features, water quality, water supply, designated beneficial uses, point and nonpoint sources of water pollution, population, infrastructure, vegetation and habitat, and agricultural and grazing practices. Trends were identified for those items that had sufficient historical data. The Analysis did not include a technical review of compiled information. Grazing Land Management Plan—the Upper Salinas/Las Tablas Resource Conservation District conducted an assessment of the 24,000 acres of grazing land owned and managed by the MCWRA at the Nacimiento and San Antonio Reservoirs to determine impacts on water quality, maintenance of ecological communities, and management of sustainable and restorative grazing. Watershed Goals and Strategies—The WRI and Analysis were utilized by the stakeholder group to articulate goals and planning strategies for future watershed activities that focus on water quality improvements. These include non-regulatory approaches to watershed protection, integration of watershed planning with existing government planning activities, land use planning strategies for watershed protection and potential partnership scenarios which could serve to protect the health of the watershed. In addition, the stakeholders identified research and monitoring opportunities to fill data gaps to address issues of concern, identified many roles and associated responsibilities of stakeholders in implementation of the proposed actions and strategies as well as draft time frames for implementation. Watersheds Management Plan—The Plan is an integration of the above products and includes the geographic boundaries of the watershed, a description of the natural resource conditions within the watershed, a series of goals, objectives and implementation measures for achieving and sustaining water quality improvements, and description of how to monitor, update and maintain the Plan as a living document. The plan is divided into four sections. Part 1 includes purpose and need for the plan and plan preparation. Part 2 is the Existing Conditions section which identifies physical and current conditions

  • Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp (Branchinecta Lynchi)
    fairy shrimp populations are regularly monitored by Bureau of Land Management staff. In the San Joaquin Vernal Pool Region, vernal pool habitats occupied by the longhorn fairy shrimp are protected at the Kesterson National Wildlife Refuge. 4. VERNAL POOL FAIRY SHRIMP (BRANCHINECTA LYNCHI) a. Description and Taxonomy Taxonomy.—The vernal pool fairy shrimp (Branchinecta lynchi) was first described by Eng, Belk and Eriksen (Eng et al. 1990). The species was named in honor of James B. Lynch, a systematist of North American fairy shrimp. The type specimen was collected in 1982 at Souza Ranch, Contra Costa County, California. Although not yet described, the vernal pool fairy shrimp had been collected as early as 1941, when it was identified as the Colorado fairy shrimp by Linder (1941). Description and Identification.—Although most species of fairy shrimp look generally similar (see Box 1- Appearance and Identification of Vernal Pool Crustaceans), vernal pool fairy shrimp are characterized by the presence and size of several mounds (see identification section below) on the male's second antennae, and by the female's short, pyriform brood pouch. Vernal pool fairy shrimp vary in size, ranging from 11 to 25 millimeters (0.4 to 1.0 inch) in length (Eng et al. 1990). Vernal pool fairy shrimp closely resemble Colorado fairy shrimp (Branchinecta coloradensis) (Eng et al. 1990). However, there are differences in the shape of a small mound-like feature located at the base of the male's antennae, called the pulvillus. The Colorado fairy shrimp has a round pulvillus, while the vernal pool fairy shrimp's pulvillus is elongate.

  • Wildland Fire in Ecosystems: Effects of Fire on Fauna
    United States Department of Agriculture Wildland Fire in Forest Service Rocky Mountain Ecosystems Research Station General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-42- volume 1 Effects of Fire on Fauna January 2000 Abstract _____________________________________ Smith, Jane Kapler, ed. 2000. Wildland fire in ecosystems: effects of fire on fauna. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-42-vol. 1. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 83 p. Fires affect animals mainly through effects on their habitat. Fires often cause short-term increases in wildlife foods that contribute to increases in populations of some animals. These increases are moderated by the animals’ ability to thrive in the altered, often simplified, structure of the postfire environment. The extent of fire effects on animal communities generally depends on the extent of change in habitat structure and species composition caused by fire. Stand-replacement fires usually cause greater changes in the faunal communities of forests than in those of grasslands. Within forests, stand- replacement fires usually alter the animal community more dramatically than understory fires. Animal species are adapted to survive the pattern of fire frequency, season, size, severity, and uniformity that characterized their habitat in presettlement times. When fire frequency increases or decreases substantially or fire severity changes from presettlement patterns, habitat for many animal species declines. Keywords: fire effects, fire management, fire regime, habitat, succession, wildlife The volumes in “The Rainbow Series” will be published during the year 2000.

  • 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.
