INTRODUCTION This appendix presents a comprehensive geologic map from a compilation of existing and new geologic mapping and geophysical data both onshore and offshore in the Shoreline fault zone study area. The study area extends from the western slope of the Irish Hills on the east to the edge of the continental shelf at the Hosgri fault zone on the west, and from Estero Bay on the north to Pismo Beach on the south (Figure B-1-1). The geologic map is presented in four plates at 1:12,000 scale (Plates B-1A to B-1D). 1.1 Purpose and Objectives The purpose of creating an onshore-offshore geologic map of the study area is to place the Shoreline fault zone in its geologic context. The objectives of the mapping include: 1. Complete a geologic map of the study area using previous and new field mapping plus the newly acquired MBES and LiDAR images, dive samples, seismic-reflection profiles, and high-resolution helicopter magnetic field data; 2. Characterize the length, segmentation, style of faulting, and slip rate of the Shoreline fault zone; 3. Accurately locate the fault trace where it lies offshore of DCPP; 4. Assess the relation of the mapped traces of the Shoreline fault zone to the seismicity lineament that originally defined the Shoreline fault; and 5. Evaluate the evidence, if any, of late Quaternary displacements on the fault. 1.2 Previous Investigations Existing onshore geologic maps within the DCPP site vicinity are shown on Figure B-1-1. Mapping of the Irish Hills (i.e., Point San Luis and Morro Bay topographic quadrangles) was completed at 1:24,000-scale by Hall (1973a) and later incorporated into a regional compilation by Hall et al. (1979) with minor revisions at 1:48,000

  • City of San Luis Obispo Open Space Vegetation Management Plan
    CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO OPEN SPACE VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PLAN A Professional Project presented to the Faculty of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of City and Regional Planning by Danielle Rose Althaus June 2014 ©2014 Danielle Rose Althaus ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP TITLE: City of San Luis Obispo Open Space Vegetation Management Plan AUTHOR: Danielle Rose Althaus DATE SUBMITTED: June 2014 COMMITTEE CHAIR: W. David Conn, D. Phil. Professor, City and Regional Planning COMMITTEE MEMBER: Kenneth C. Topping, AICP Lecturer, City and Regional Planning COMMITTEE MEMBER: Robert Hill Natural Resources Manager, City of San Luis Obispo iii ABSTRACT City of San Luis Obispo Open Space Vegetation Management Plan Danielle Rose Althaus This Master’s Professional Project is focused on the development of a draft Vegetation Management Plan for the City of San Luis Obispo Open Space properties. The purpose of the plan is to provide a comprehensive document which identifies how the city is addressing wildfire preparedness in city-owned open space properties. Methods used in plan development include a literature review, content analysis, geographic information systems (GIS), a course audit, and consultation with city staff and other stakeholders. Each open space property is identified in the plan, describing its location, vegetation, topography, assets, access points, water supply, evacuation routes, historical fire data, predominant risk exposure, current wildfire preparedness plan, priority ranking, and a proposed implementation plan. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project would not have been possible without motivation from Rodger Maggio and Robert Hill. I would like to thank the both of you for your continuous encouragement and support throughout this process.

  • 4.1 Geology/Hazards
    Dalidio/San Luis Marketplace Annexation and Development Project EIR Section 4.1 Geology/Hazards 4.1 GEOLOGY/HAZARDS The project site lies within the seismically active coastal region of central California. Regional studies indicate that there are no active or potentially active faults on the project site. However, groundshaking associated with nearby faults could damage or destroy property, structures and transportation infrastructures. These impacts can be mitigated to less than significant levels. In addition, site soils are reported to have a high liquefaction potential, a moderate to high expansion potential and a potential for subsidence. These impacts are considered less than significant with the adherence to mitigation measures. The Dalidio property could potentially be subject to contamination that has migrated from off-site hazardous materials releases. Implementation of recommended mitigation measures, including soils and groundwater testing along the northwestern site boundary to determine the presence of such contamination on site, and appropriate remediation if necessary, would reduce this impact to a less than significant level. The proposed Prado Road/ U.S. Highway 101 interchange and associated improvements could be located on soils that contain residual quantities of aerially-deposited lead (ADL) associated with historic exhaust emissions along U.S. Highway 101. The release of ADL during disturbance of this area would be considered a potentially significant but mitigable health hazard. 4.1.1 Geologic Setting. This section describes the geologic conditions and related hazards of the project site, including faulting, seismically induced ground movement, liquefaction potential, potential for soil expansion/contraction and a subsidence potential. a. Regional Topography. The Dalidio property is located west of U.S.
