This Finding of No Significant Impact is based on the attached Environmental Assessment, which has been independently evaluated by Caltrans and determined to adequately and accurately discuss the need, environment issues, and impacts of the proposed project and appropriate mitigation measures. It provides sufficient evidence and analysis for determining that an Environmental Impact Statement is not required. Caltrans takes full responsibility for the accuracy, scope and content of the attached Environmental Assessment and incorporated technical reports. The environmental review, consultation, and any other actions required by applicable Federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried out by Caltrans pursuant to 23 U.S. Code 327 and the Memorandum of Understanding dated December 23, 2016, and executed by the Federal Highway Administration and Caltrans. San Jose Creek Bridge Replacement iii This page left intentionally blank San Jose Creek Bridge Replacement iv SCH Number: 2019129047 Mitigated Negative Declaration Pursuant to: Division 13, Public Resources Code Project Description The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to replace the existing northbound and southbound San Jose Creek Bridges (Bridge Number 51- 0163 R/L) which are in Santa Barbara County on U.S. Route 101 at post mile 21.6. The new bridge design would be a single-span bridge. Building the new bridge would involve the following: removing the existing bridge structure and building a new bridge structure, removing the existing slope pavement on the creek banks, installing rock slope protection, replacing traffic barriers to meet current safety standards and minor earthwork. The project would affect nearby vegetation. U.S. Route 101 is a major north-south highway that serves California, Oregon, and Washington. Within the project limits, U.S. Route 101 consists of a six-lane freeway, with three lanes in each direction. The project is in an urban environment, which consists of residential, commercial and industrial land uses. Determination Caltrans has prepared an Initial Study for this project and, following public review, has determine from this study that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment for the following reasons: The project would have no effect on existing or future land use, coastal resources, wild and scenic rivers, parks and recreation facilities, farmland, timberland, growth, community character and cohesion, environmental justice, utilities, cultural resources, paleontological resources, and mineral resources. The project would have less than significant effects on visuals/aesthetics resources, emergency systems/services, traffic and transportation, wildfire hazards, hydrology and floodplains, geology and soils, greenhouse gasses, hazardous materials, air quality, and noise levels. The project would have no significant adverse effect on water quality or biological resources because the following mitigation measures will be implemented: Water Quality Measures · Project-related work in the creek will not be conducted during the wet season. · A water diversion/dewatering management plan will be implemented to allow for work in the wetted channel. · Appropriate Best Management Practices for water pollution control, erosion control and stormwater management will be implemented during project construction. San Jose Creek Bridge Replacement v Biological Resource Measures · Pre-construction surveys will be conducted for special-status species before removing vegetation. · Vegetation and tree removal will be kept to the minimum required for project completion. · Before project construction begins, environmental sensitive area fencing will be installed within the project site to keep construction activities out of those areas. · Biological monitoring will be conducted during various stages of project construction. · Invasive, non-native species will be controlled to the maximum extent possible. · Areas disturbed by project construction will be restored to conditions that would allow them to function as potential habitat for species. · On-site compensatory mitigation will be required for the project. Temporary impacts to wetlands and jurisdictional areas will require a 1 to 1 replacement ratio. Native plant replacement will require a 1 to 1 replacement ratio. It is anticipated that impacts to riparian trees will require a 3 to 1 replacement ratio.

PERRY Department of Anthropology, Pomona College, Claremont, CA 91711 In contrast to the archaeological visibility of Chumash rock art on the mainland, its virtual absence on the northern Channel Islands is reflective of what little is understood about ritual behavior in island prehistory. By relying on relevant ethnohistoric and ethnographic references from the mainland, it is possible to evaluate how related activities may be manifested archaeologically on the islands. On Santa Cruz Island, portable ritual items and rock features have been identified on El Montahon and the North Ridge, the most prominent ridgelines on the northern islands Citing material correlates of ritual behavior, intentionally-made rock features are interpreted as possible shrines, which were an important aspect of winter solstice ceremonies among the mainland Chumash. Portable ritual items and possible shrines are considered in the context of sacred geography, revealing aspects of how the Chumash may have interacted with the supernatural landscape of Santa Cruz Island. andscapes are imbued with different attributes and Conception and Mount Pinos (as examples of the former) Llvalues; whether economic, aesthetic, recrea­ to sweatlodges and rock sites (as examples of the latter) tional, spiritual, or otherwise, these values intersect, (Grant 1965; Haley and Wilcoxon 1997,1999).

  • Classification of the House Finch of the Channel Islands, Southern California Philip Unitt, San Diego Natural History Museum, P
    NOTES CLASSIFICATION OF THE HOUSE FINCH OF THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PHILIP UNITT, San Diego Natural History Museum, P. O. Box 121390, San Diego, California 92112-1390; [email protected] The Channel Islands of southern California are renowned for their many endemic plants and animals. Among land birds, 22 endemic species or subspecies have been described. Not all of these are valid, however, and their distinctiveness spans a wide spectrum. Johnson (1972) categorized the islands’ land birds in five strata ranging from the Island Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma insularis) of Santa Cruz Island to those not known to differ from mainland populations. The last includes both species of which no subspecies endemic to the islands have been proposed, such as the Bushtit (Psaltriparus minimus), and described subspecies whose supposed differences have been discredited or found to be insufficient to meet the criteria for recognition. These synonymized names include Colaptes cafer sedentarius van Rossem, 1944 (with C. auratus collaris; AOU 1952), Vireo mailliardorum Grinnell, 1903 (with V. h. huttoni; AOU 1908), Salpinctes obsoletus pulverius Grinnell, 1898 (with S. o. obsoletus; Grinnell 1929), Amphispiza belli clementeae Ridgway, 1898 (with A. b. belli; Patten and Unitt 2002), and Melospiza melodia micronyx and M. m. clementae (the last two with M. m. graminea; Patten and Pruett 2009). The status of the supposed subspecies of the House Finch (Carpodacus mexicanus clementis) has also been questioned. In the original description, Mearns (1898:259) reported the House Finches of the Channel Islands to differ from those of the mainland (C. m. frontalis) in their larger legs and feet, broader streaking on the underparts, shorter wings, and “bill much larger and more convex above.” He designated a type specimen from San Clemente Island, U.S.

  • Birds on San Clemente Island, As Part of Our Work Toward the Recovery of the Island’S Endangered Species
    WESTERN BIRDS Volume 36, Number 3, 2005 THE BIRDS OF SAN CLEMENTE ISLAND BRIAN L. SULLIVAN, PRBO Conservation Science, 4990 Shoreline Hwy., Stinson Beach, California 94970-9701 (current address: Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, 159 Sapsucker Woods Rd., Ithaca, New York 14850) ERIC L. KERSHNER, Institute for Wildlife Studies, 2515 Camino del Rio South, Suite 334, San Diego, California 92108 With contributing authors JONATHAN J. DUNN, ROBB S. A. KALER, SUELLEN LYNN, NICOLE M. MUNKWITZ, and JONATHAN H. PLISSNER ABSTRACT: From 1992 to 2004, we observed birds on San Clemente Island, as part of our work toward the recovery of the island’s endangered species. We increased the island’s bird list to 317 species, by recording many additional vagrants and seabirds. The list includes 20 regular extant breeding species, 6 species extirpated as breeders, 5 nonnative introduced species, and 9 sporadic or newly colonizing breeding species. For decades San Clemente Island had been ravaged by overgrazing, especially by goats, which were removed completely in 1993. Since then, the island’s vegetation has begun recovering, and the island’s avifauna will likely change again as a result. We document here the status of that avifauna during this transitional period of re- growth, between the island’s being largely denuded of vegetation and a more natural state. It is still too early to evaluate the effects of the vegetation’s still partial recovery on birds, but the beginnings of recovery may have enabled the recent colonization of small numbers of Grasshopper Sparrows and Lazuli Buntings. Sponsored by the U. S. Navy, efforts to restore the island’s endangered species continue—among birds these are the Loggerhead Shrike and Sage Sparrow.

Hoppa1 ABSTRACT.—On the northern Channel Islands, the occupation of interior sites during the Middle Holocene (6650–3350 cal BP) has been attributed, in part, to terrestrial resource exploitation. The presence of groundstone artifacts, particu- larly mortars and pestles, in Middle Holocene sites and burials supports the idea that plants were important during this time period. The current study presents macrobotanical data from 4 Middle Holocene sites on Santa Cruz Island. Of the 4 sites, 3 are located within the Central Valley, the island’s most productive watershed; whereas the fourth site is located on a coastal bluff on the eastern end of the island.

Abstract To eradicate invasive alien species from islands, land managers must have the ability to: detect all individuals, remove all individuals, outpace reproduction, and commit adequate resources to ensure project completion. Any inability to meet these criteria – whether due to technical, fi nancial or political factors – can fate a project to failure. Here, we discuss how helicopter-based methods can increase the likelihood of meeting eradication success criteria, while at the same time increasing effective use of limited resources and enhancing personnel safety. We examine the effi ciency and effectiveness of ground-based and aerial-based eradication methods used to eradicate feral pigs and control a suite of invasive plants to zero density on two islands in southern California, USA: Santa Catalina Island and Santa Cruz Island. This study highlights numerous advantages of using an intensive, systematic aerial approach in eradication efforts, as compared to more traditional ground-based methods.

  • Evidence for an Island Chumash Geophyte-Based Subsistence
    Journal of California and Great Basin Anthropology | Vol. 36, No. 1 (2016) | pp. 51–71 Evidence for an Island Chumash Geophyte-Based Subsistence Economy on the Northern Channel Islands KRISTINA M. GILL Department of Anthropology, University of California, Santa Barbara KRISTIN M. HOPPA Department of Anthropology, University of California, Santa Barbara We synthesize northern Channel Islands archaeobotanical data to discuss broad, diachronic patterns in ancient plant use. Using quantitative and qualitative comparisons, we explore the relative importance of plant foods through time and consider how plant food rankings on the islands may have differed from those on the mainland. We argue that geophytes were the highest ranked plant food resource, valued for their contribution of easily procured carbohydrates in an island environment rich in marine protein and fat resources. Geophytes are phenomenally abundant on the islands, and were used consistently by the Island Chumash and their ancestors for at least 10,000 years with no significant change through time. We also explore the representation of various other plant foods through time and consider what archaeobotanical data indicate about the use of groundstone, division of labor, and island-mainland exchange networks. alifornia’s northern Channel Islands native island flora, many of which were important food C have a long history of human occupation and sources for the Island Chumash. excellent preservation of archaeological sites.
