  • Technical Memorandum
    Technical Memorandum DATE: July 3, 2019 PROJECT: 19-1-047 TO: Shawnda Grady, ESQ Ellison, Schneider, Harris & Donlan FROM: Eddy Teasdale, P.G., CHG. Mehrdad Bastani SUBJECT: Ground Water (Hydrologic) Technical Memorandum Report to Support San Bernardino Conditional Use Permit Related to Adequate Service Certification Water and Sewer (Form W2) - PVL Lime Plant APN: 0485-031-12 1 INTRODUCTION This Technical Memorandum (TM) describes the process used to determine groundwater availability and evaluate potential impacts of operating a new planned industrial well on existing groundwater users in the area. Provided herein are the key findings, conclusions, and preliminary recommendations regarding water availability for the proposed PVL processing plant in Trona, California (Project). Implementation of the Project will utilize water from a recently installed on-site production well. For drinking water, the Project proposed to utilize an estimated 1.3 gallons per minute (gpm). To meet operational requirements related to domestic and processing usage, the new planned well will need to produce a maximum of 30 gpm (49 AF/year). 2 GEOLOGY AND HYDROGEOLOGY Searles Valley is a north-trending structural valley that is bound by the Argus Range on the west and north and by the Slate Range on the north and east. The Garlock Fault is generally recognized as the southern limit of the groundwater basin, however topographically, the surface water drainage area of the valley continues south of the Garlock fault. The area of the Searles Valley drainage basin is estimated to be about 693 square miles. There are three primary hydrogeologic units within the Searles Valley, alluvial deposits, saline deposits and bedrock complex.

  • 4.5 Cultural Resources
    4.5 – Cultural Resources 4.5 Cultural Resources This section identifies cultural and paleontological resources along the IC Project Alignment, identifies applicable significance thresholds, assesses the IC Project’s impacts to these resources and their significance, and recommends measures to avoid or substantially reduce any effects found to be potentially significant. Cultural resources are defined as any object or specific location of past human activity, occupation, or use that is identifiable through historical documentation, inventory, or oral evidence. Cultural resources can be separated into three categories: archaeological, building/structural, and traditional resources. Archaeological resources include prehistoric and historic remains of human activity. Prehistoric resources can be composed of lithic scatters, ceramic scatters, quarries, habitation sites, temporary camps/rock rings, ceremonial sites, and trails. Historic-era resources are typically those that are 50 years or older. Historic archaeological resources can consist of structural remains (e.g., concrete foundations), historic objects (e.g., bottles and cans), features (e.g., refuse deposits or scatters), and sites (e.g., resources that contain one or more of the aforementioned categories). Built environment resources range from historic buildings to canals, historic roads and trails, bridges, ditches, cemeteries, and electrical infrastructure, such as transmission lines, substations, and generating facilities. A traditional cultural resource is a resource associated with the cultural practices, traditions, beliefs, lifeways, arts, crafts, or social institutions of a living community. They are rooted in a traditional community’s history and are important in maintaining the continuing cultural identity of the community. See Section 4.18, Tribal Cultural Resources, for a discussion on cultural resources of potential importance to California Native American tribes.

  • An Outline of the Story of Trona, from BLM Records
    An Outline the Story of the Trona Area from Bureau of Land Management Records March 2014 Larry M Vredenburgh Bureau of Land Management 3801 Pegasus Drive Bakersfield, CA 93308 [email protected] BLM Web Resources Over the last few years Bureau of Land Management land records have been made available to the public on two websites. The Official Federal Land Records Site (http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/), hosts transcribed records as well as original documents, survey plats and Master Title Plats. The Bureau of Land Management’s Land & Mineral Legacy Rehost 2000 System website, known as LR2000, (http://www.blm.gov/lr2000/) compliments the “GLO Records” site by providing additional ways to query BLM records, as well as more detailed reports on land use authorizations. These websites provide researchers with a treasure trove of historic information. I have utilized a sample of this information to create an outline of the story of the development of the Trona area. Land Patents According to no less a source than Wikipedia, a land patent is, “. an exclusive land grant made by a sovereign entity over the land in question. To make such a grant “patent”, a sovereign (proprietary landowner) must document the land grant, securely sign and seal the document (patent), and openly publish the documents for the public to see.” On March 4, 1788, the first land patent was issued by the United States of America to John Martin in what is now Belmont County, Ohio. Twenty- four years later, in 1812, the General Land Office (GLO) was created to handle and dispose of public lands.

  • Cultural Resources
    Draft DRECP and EIR/EIS CHAPTER III.8. CULTURAL RESOURCES III.8 CULTURAL RESOURCES This chapter presents the environmental setting/affected environment for the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan (DRECP) for cultural resources. More than 32,000 cultural resources are known in the Plan Area and occur in every existing environmental context, from mountain crests to dry lake beds, and include both surface and sub-surface deposits. Cultural resources are categorized as buildings, sites, structures, objects, and districts under both federal law (for the purposes of the National Environmental Policy Act [NEPA] and the National Historic Preservation Act [NHPA]) and under California state law (for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act [CEQA]). Historic properties are cultural resources included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) maintained by the Secretary of the Interior and per the NRHP eligibility criteria (36 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 60.4). See Section III.8.1.1 for more information on federal regulations and historic properties. Historical resources are cultural resources that meet the criteria for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) (14 California Code of Regulations [CCR] Section 4850) or that meet other criteria specified in CEQA (see Section III.8.1.2). See Section III.8.1.2 for more information on state regulations and historical resources. This chapter discusses three types of cultural resources classified by their origins: prehistoric, ethnographic, and historic. Prehistoric cultural resources are associated with the human occupation and use of Cali- fornia prior to prolonged European contact.

  • BLM Worksheets
    Panamint/Argus Description/Location: Panamint/Argus, subdivided into 2 units: Panamint Lake Unit and the Mountain Unit. Located between Argus Wilderness and Death Valley National Park. Nationally Significant Values: Ecological: This area encompasses an essential movement corridor which links wildlife habitats in the China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station and Argus Wilderness to those protected by the Death Valley National Park. This corridor was developed by the SC Wildlands group (Science and Collaboration for Connected Wildlands). SC Wildlands was part of a team that worked with the California Departments of Transportation and Fish and Game on a statewide habitat connectivity effort from which this unit was developed. The habitat suitability and movement needs of over 40 selected focal species were used in this process. Desert Bighorn sheep and Mojave ground squirrels are two of those focal species that occur here. In addition, the area provides excellent habitat for foraging and nesting of numerous raptor species, including golden eagles and prairie falcons. The Slate, Argus, and Panamint Mountain ranges would be included in this large unit. These ranges provide habitat for Nelson's desert bighorn sheep, Townsend’s big‐eared bats, and the federally threatened Inyo California towhee. The abandoned mines in this area have historically housed the largest maternity colonies of Townsend’s big‐eared bats in the Western Mojave Desert. It is likely that unsurveyed mines in the Slates and Argus Range also house large colonies. The area also includes Mohave ground squirrel (MGS) core habitat within the MGS Conservation Area. This is 1 of only 11 core population centers.
