  • Sec 05 11 Tribal and Cultural Resources
    Tribal and Cultural Resources 5.11 TRIBAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES 5.11.1 PURPOSE This section identifies existing cultural (including historic and archeological resources), paleontological and tribal resources within the Study Area, and provides an analysis of potential impacts associated with implementation of the General Plan Update. Potential impacts are identified and mitigation measures to address potentially significant impacts are recommended, as necessary. This section is primarily based upon the Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources Technical Report for the Rancho Santa Margarita General Plan Update, Rancho Santa Margarita, Orange County, California (Cultural Study), and the Paleontological Resources Impact Assessment Report for the Rancho Santa Margarita General Plan Update, Orange County, California (Paleontological Assessment), both prepared by SWCA Environmental Consultants (SWCA) and dated April 2019; refer to Appendix F, Cultural/ Paleontological Resources Assessment. 5.11.2 EXISTING REGULATORY SETTING Numerous laws and regulations require Federal, State, and local agencies to consider the effects a project may have on cultural resources. These laws and regulations establish a process for compliance, define the responsibilities of the various agencies proposing the action, and prescribe the relationship among other involved agencies (i.e., State Historic Preservation Office and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation).

  • Master Plan of Trails, Adopted Oct
    P.O. BOX 8, SILVERADO, CA 92676 SMRPD Draft Master Plan of Trails, Adopted Oct. 14, 2004 The Master Plan of Regional Riding and Hiking Trails Component is countywide in scope. It is a public trail system which traverses the entire county without regard for jurisdictional boundaries and, therefore, intergovernmental coordination is necessary for successful implementation. -from the Recreation Element of the Orange County General Plan The Silverado Modjeska Community Plan and EIR (DEIR 096), prepared by the Environmental Planning Agency and distributed on November 23, 1976, included a variety of non-paved multi-use riding and hiking trails which were in place and inventoried at the time of the DEIR’s adoption. The plan allowed for the addition of recreational trails as proposed by the community. In 2002, under the jurisdiction of the Silverado Modjeska Recreation and Parks District (a State sanctioned Independent Special District), the community and the SMRPD worked together to create an updated Master Plan of Riding and Hiking Trails. As a conceptual plan, it is considered a general expression of community values and is abstract in nature. Purpose The purpose of the Silverado Modjeska Master Plan of Trails is to provide goals and objectives to direct the development and operation of a District-wide public trail system that serves the recreational needs of equestrians, pedestrians (walkers, hikers and joggers), and mountain bikers (non-motorized). Goals Goal 1: Provide a useful, enjoyable, safe, and efficient riding and hiking trail system for the District and to meet the needs and desires of the community. Goal 2: Create trail linkages between open space and recreation facilities, between community, municipal, state, and federal trail systems, and create connectivity to surrounding communities.

  • Initial Study with Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration/Environmental Assessment for the SR 55 Improvement Project Between I
    Chapter 2 Affected Environment, Environmental Consequences, and Avoidance, Minimization, and/or Mitigation Measures PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT 2.8 Hydrology and Floodplains 2.8.1 Regulatory Setting EO 11988 (Floodplain Management) directs all federal agencies to refrain from conducting, supporting, or allowing actions in floodplains unless it is the only practicable alternative. The FHWA requirements for compliance are outlined in 23 CFR 650 Subpart A. To comply, the following must be analyzed: • The practicability of alternatives to any longitudinal encroachments • Risks of the action • Impacts on natural and beneficial floodplain values • Support of incompatible floodplain development • Measures to minimize floodplain impacts and to preserve/restore any beneficial floodplain values affected by the project The base floodplain is defined as “the area subject to flooding by the flood or tide having a one percent chance of being exceeded in any given year.” An encroachment is defined as “an action within the limits of the base floodplain.” 2.8.2 Affected Environment This section is based on the Location Hydraulic Study State Route 55 Improvement Project From Interstate 5 to State Route 91 (LHS) (April 2018), the Water Quality Technical Memorandum (November 2018), Stormwater Data Report (March 2019), and the Preliminary Drainage Report State Route 55 Widening Project (October 2018) prepared for the proposed project. 2.8.2.1 Regional Hydrology The proposed project is located within the Santa Ana River hydrologic unit and within two subhydrologic areas: the Lower Santa Ana River and San Diego Creek, both of which are part of the East Coastal Plain Hydrologic Sub-Area (801.11). In addition, the proposed project is located within three watersheds: the Lower Santa River Watershed, Santiago Creek Watershed, and San Diego Creek Watershed.

  • Rare Artifact Found on San Clemente Island Mass Communication Specialist 2Nd Class Shawnte Bryan July 16, 2013 (U.S
    Santa Cruz Archaeological Society Newsletter Rare Artifact Found on San Clemente Island Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Shawnte Bryan July 16, 2013 (U.S. Navy Story Number: NNS130716-29) The Navy discovered a significant prehistoric artifact 90 miles west of San Diego on San Clemente Island (SCI) located mid-island at a newly discovered archeological site. A boat effigy made of submarine volcano lava was spotted at the surface of the site during an archeology survey. The boat effigy represents a type of boat used by the California Indians who occupied the California Channels and adjacent southern California mainland at the time of the Spanish "discovery" in the AD 1500s. Dr. Andy Yatsko, Senior Archaeologist and Region Southwest Archaeologist for the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southwest in San Diego, who has over 40 years experience in prehistoric and historic archaeology finds the boat effigy to be an uncommon find. "Boat effigies like the one found are exceedingly rare in the archaeological record, with this being my first one recovered during my 30 year tenure with SCI," said Dr. Yatsko [image courtesy U.S. Navy]. "Finding artifacts on the surface of archaeological sites at the island is not unusual, but a rare one like this is always exciting to come across." The effigy was created from submarine volcano lava. This lava differs from the lava that flows on the mainland because the vesicles are smaller, making it more brittle and more difficult to handle. “The vesicle volcanic material used is hard and brittle but somehow they were able to craft a fine little carving out of it to represent an important part of their culture," said Yatsko.

  • LWHC Once Upon Laguna Woods
    Once Upon Laguna Woods by Dean O. Dixon Once upon a time in a magical land there were fiery volcanos, roiling seas, and fearsome animals. Then came warriors, conquerors, banishment, empires, slaves, wars, pirates, corruption, bandits, posses, lynching, ghosts, invasion, exploitation, riches, scandal and, yes, even happily ever after. Fiction? No. These are true stories about the land right under your feet in and around Laguna Woods. So what did happen once upon Laguna Woods? Well, are you up for some time travel? The beloved natural vistas from Laguna Woods reflect decades of conservation efforts that preserved tens of thousands of pristine acres from any future human development. You get to enjoy this in perpetuity without it ever being disturbed. Woods End Wilderness Preserve, Laguna Coast Wilderness Park, Aliso & Wood Canyons Wilderness Park, Crystal Cove State Park, Laguna Niguel Regional Park, and City of Irvine Open Space Preserve are contiguous in a synergistic display of your natural history. But what exactly do you see? Once Upon Laguna Woods February 27, 2016 page !2 of !60 Natural erosion has exposed up to 65 million years of rock strata laid down and compressed one layer atop another by eons of changes in the earth’s crust as influenced by climate, flora and fauna. Sand from deserts and beaches, mud from swamps and rivers, skeletons of sea and land creatures, recurrences of these, and still more are solidified and revealed like layers in a slice of cake for the delight of geologists and further study by anyone so inclined. Related tectonics further changed and are changing your area even today as the Atlantic Plate pushes the North American Plate westward into the Pacific Plate along that constant worry of yours, the San Andreas Fault.

ABSTRACT: Quarterly monitoring of Upper Newport Bay, a highly eutrophic southern California estuary, has provided conflicting indicators of nutrient limitation for the seasonal macroalgal blooms in this system. Water column N:P ratios were high, up to 370:1, suggesting phosphorous limitation, while sediment N:P ratios were low, «4:1), suggesting nitrogen limitation. A microcosm experiment was conducted to test whether macroalgal biomass was nitrogen or phosphorous limited in this system.

    Historic Context Statement City of Benicia February 2011 Benicia, CA Prepared for City of Benicia Department of Public Works & Community Development Prepared by page & turnbull, inc. 1000 Sansome Street, Ste. 200, San Francisco CA 94111 415.362.5154 / www.page-turnbull.com Benicia Historic Context Statement FOREWORD “Benicia is a very pretty place; the situation is well chosen, the land gradually sloping back from the water, with ample space for the spread of the town. The anchorage is excellent, vessels of the largest size being able to tie so near shore as to land goods without lightering. The back country, including the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, is one of the finest agriculture districts in California. Notwithstanding these advantages, Benicia must always remain inferior in commercial advantages, both to San Francisco and Sacramento City.”1 So wrote Bayard Taylor in 1850, less than three years after Benicia’s founding, and another three years before the city would—at least briefly—serve as the capital of California. In the century that followed, Taylor’s assessment was echoed by many authors—that although Benicia had all the ingredients for a great metropolis, it was destined to remain in the shadow of others. Yet these assessments only tell a half truth. While Benicia never became the great commercial center envisioned by its founders, its role in Northern California history is nevertheless one that far outstrips the scale of its geography or the number of its citizens. Benicia gave rise to the first large industrial works in California, hosted the largest train ferries ever constructed, and housed the West Coast’s primary ordnance facility for over 100 years.
