Approximately five percent of the planning area is dedicated to open space, parks, and agricultural uses. Only 2.3 percent of land within the planning area remains vacant. Parks – Open Due to the highly developed nature of the community, the space lands whose City faces significant challenges in the provision of primary purpose is recreation additional open space and recreational facilities. (Institute for Local Despite a lack of vacant land, opportunities exist within the Government) urban fabric of the community to provide new recreational and open space areas. Possible solutions include: rooftop gardens; closing or converting a limited number of redundant streets for the purpose of creating mini parks, community gardens, and plazas; incorporating trail systems into utility corridors; turning vacant parcels into parks or community gardens; and the enhancement of public street rights-of-way for use as open space.

  • Description of Source Water System
    CHAPTER 2 DESCRIPTION OF THE SOURCE WATER SYSTEM 2.0 Description of the Source Water System During the last 100 years, the CSD’s water system has evolved into a very complex system. It is now estimated to serve a population of 1.4 million people spread out over 370 square miles (Table 2.1). The CSD treats imported raw water and local runoff water at three City WTPs which have a combined capacity of 378 MGD. The CSD treats water by conventional technologies using coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection. Recently, all CSD water treatment plants have been modified to provide for the addition of fluoride to the potable water supply. To ensure safe and palatable water quality, the CSD collects water samples at its reservoirs, WTPs, and throughout the treated water storage and distribution system. The CSD’s use of local and imported water to meet water demand is affected by availability, cost, and water resource management policies. Imported water availability decreases the need to carry over local water for dry years in City reservoirs. CSD policy is to use local water first to reduce imported water purchases; this policy runs the risk of increased dependence on imported water during local droughts.

  • Otay Ranch Resort Village
    1.0 Project Description, Location, and Environmental Setting CHAPTER 1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION, LOCATION, AND ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING 1.1 Project Objectives Pursuant to Section 15124 (b), of the CEQA Guidelines, the statement of objectives sought by the proposed Project is described below. The objectives are intended to assist the County in developing a reasonable range of alternatives to evaluate in the EIR and aid the decision makers in preparing findings or a statement of overriding considerations. The underlying purpose of the proposed Project is to complete the planned development of an Otay Ranch-designated specialty village, and to help accommodate the projected demand for a distinct community as envisioned by the adopted Otay SRP. The proposed Project’s statement of objectives is as follows: • Implement the goals, objectives, and policies of the adopted Otay SRP, the Otay Ranch RMP, and the County MSCP Subarea Plan South County segment. • Create a prestigious destination resort that maximizes unique South County open space, high-terrain, and lake views of the reservoir within a distinct, predominantly single-family home community, ,and allow first-time buyers and others to transition to distinct, high-quality homes within Otay Ranch. • Decrease the intensity of development at higher elevations away from Lower Otay LakeReservoir, and thereby enhance unique South County open space, high-terrain, and lake views of the reservoir. • Establish an executive-level, “specialty” housing enclave within Otay Ranch that attracts business owners and employers within both the Otay Ranch and Otay Mesa planned business parks, urban centers, and university uses, thereby providing this segment of the housing community with opportunities to live and work in South County.

  • Dam Safety Legislation in California
    Brief Overview of DAM SAFETY LEGISLATION IN CALIFORNIA J. David Rogers, Ph.D., P.E., P.G. Karl F. Hasselmann Chair in Geological Engineering Missouri University of Science & Technology DAM SAFETY LEGISLATION • In 1915 the State legislature passed a law requiring all plans for dams and reservoirs to be submitted to the State Engineer for approval,but the act provided no penalty for failure to comply. • Following a 2-year study, in August 1916 the State Reclamation Board issued a report recommending that the State Engineer regulate all storage reservoirs. • No further action was taken by the legislature until after January 1916 floods in Southern California FLOOD OF JANUARY 1916 • Sweetwater Dam was raised 15 feet in 1910-11, increasing the reservoir capacity by 70% (designed by James D. Schuyler). • In January 1916, 8 to 20 inches of rain fell on the area, causing a peak discharge of 45,500 cfs for an hour, and an average flow of 20,000 cfs over 24 hours. The dam was overtopped to a depth of 3.66 feet, washing out the south abutment dike (shown here). 8 people were killed by the flooding. We would never build an arch dam in such fractured rock today. LOWER OTAY DAM FAILURE (1916) View from just downstream of the dam View from upstream of the dam site • On January 27, 1916 the Lower Otay Reservoir rose 9.5 ft between 7AM and 5 PM, when the flow began to overtop the dam • When the overflow reached 3,500 cfs it triggered severe erosion of the dam, causing it to fail within 5 minutes.

  • Water, Capitalism, and Urbanization in the Californias, 1848-1982
    TIJUANDIEGO: WATER, CAPITALISM, AND URBANIZATION IN THE CALIFORNIAS, 1848-1982 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Hillar Yllo Schwertner, M.A. Washington, D.C. August 14, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Hillar Yllo Schwertner All Rights Reserved ii TIJUANDIEGO: WATER, CAPITALISM, AND URBANIZATION IN THE CALIFORNIAS, 1848-1982 Hillar Yllo Schwertner, M.A. Dissertation Advisor: John Tutino, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This is a history of Tijuandiego—the transnational metropolis set at the intersection of the United States, Mexico, and the Pacific World. Separately, Tijuana and San Diego constitute distinct but important urban centers in their respective nation-states. Taken as a whole, Tijuandiego represents the southwestern hinge of North America. It is the continental crossroads of cultures, economies, and environments—all in a single, physical location. In other words, Tijuandiego represents a new urban frontier; a space where the abstractions of the nation-state are manifested—and tested—on the ground. In this dissertation, I adopt a transnational approach to Tijuandiego’s water history, not simply to tell “both sides” of the story, but to demonstrate that neither side can be understood in the absence of the other. I argue that the drawing of the international boundary in 1848 established an imbalanced political ecology that favored San Diego and the United States over Tijuana and Mexico. The land and water resources wrested by the United States gave it tremendous geographical and ecological advantages over its reeling southern neighbor, advantages which would be used to strengthen U.S.

The Alternative H area lies within the watershed of the Otay River, a westerly flowing stream that drains an area of approximately 145 square miles. The site is upstream of Savage dam, which creates Lower Otay Reservoir. The Alternative H site is bordered by Lower Otay Reservoir to the south and west. Regional access is provided by Interstate 805 (1-805), approximately 7 miles west of the site and State Route 125 (SR-125) located approximately 2.5 miles west of the Alternative H site.
