  • May 18, 2012 Projection of the CARB 2008 Emissions Inventory For
    May 18, 2012 Projection of the CARB 2008 Emissions Inventory for Northern Mexico to Future Years INTRODUCTION In ERG (2009), the baseline 1999 national emissions inventory for Mexico was projected to the years 2008, 2012, and 2030. These projections were used to extrapolate the year 2008 emissions inventory for Baja California (CARB, 2012) to the years 2023 and 2030 for air quality analyses within southern California. In their analyses, ERG (2009) used projections of population growth, industrial development, and land use planning to estimate future emissions; in many cases, by individual source classification code (SCC). However, this level of detail is beyond the scope of what can be done in the short term. Also, while the emissions inventory generated for Baja California by the CARB (2012) used ERG’s year 2008 inventory as a starting point, the final inventory was appreciably different. In this analysis, the relative changes in emissions growth quantified by ERG for the years 1999, 2008, and 2030 were used to prepare emissions-response curves, which were then used to scale the CARB 2008 inventory to future years. PREPARATION OF EMISSIONS RESPONSE FUNCTIONS The emissions inventories developed by ERG (2009) for the years 1999, 2008, 2012, and 2030 were provided in four broadly defined groups: on-road, non-road, point, and non-point emissions. Within these groups, emissions for CO, NOx, SOx, COT (VOC), PM10 (PM), and NH3 were provided by State and by Municipality. To avoid being confounded by differences in spatial distributions and source classifications, emissions within each group were summed by State and Municipality.

    From: Jones, Allen To: Hall, Vince; Shepard, Tom; McCormack, Irene; DRBOB Subject: AJ"s edits to first draft of State of the City address Date: Saturday, January 05, 2013 4:29:20 PM Attachments: Attached are my revised additions to the SoC in response to our discussion today. Allen ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tom Shepard <[email protected]> Date: Sat, Dec 29, 2012 at 9:43 AM Subject: First draft of State of the City speech To: Vince Hall < > Attached is a first draft of the State of the City speech. As I mentioned when we first discussed this, the draft should be viewed as a framework, not a completed document. I’ve highlighted in yellow paragraphs that are still needed but that are outside my areas of expertise. Among these, I’ve already asked Chris Frahm to give us a paragraph on water policy, which she has promised by next week. Also, please note that it has been a custom in some previous SoCs to solicit suggestions from the council members about specific initiatives they would like the mayor to call out and for which they would like to be recognized. Not sure if you want to do this, but if so the appropriate place would be right after Bob’s recognition of them in the current draft. To expedite the process of completing this, I suggest we schedule a meeting with Bob sometime this next week to go over the draft, get his feedback, and make assignments for additional items that need to be added. I stand ready to revise, add, delete (or in any other way you direct) take responsibility for ensuring Bob ends up with a final product with which he is satisfied.

  • Transboundary Issues in the Tijuana River Basin Newsletter
    International Boundary and Water Commission United States and Mexico Volume 2, October 2017 TRANSBOUNDARY ISSUES IN THE TIJUANA RIVER BASIN NEWSLETTER Minute 320 Spill Investigation On February 1, 2017, a section of the 48-inch diameter “Insurgentes” Sewer Collector collapsed near the confluence of the Rio Alamar and Tijuana River, in Tijuana, Baja California causing an undetermined amount of wastewater to be released into the Tijuana River flowing through Mexico and the United States. The International Boundary and Water Commission, United States and Mexico (IBWC) initiated an investigation into the cause and to understand issues that arose from that action. The final report entitled, “Report of Transboundary Bypass Flows into the Tijuana River” was released in April 2017. The report is available for download on the IBWC web site (www.ibwc.gov). Recommendations made to address the issues as determined in the report were presented to the Minute 320 workgroups to initiate. The recommendations are: • Acquire the equipment needed to address spills in the future. • Installation of flow meters to monitor flows in the system and to determine the volume of wastewater entering the river in the event of another spill. • Development of communication protocols both local and binational. • Assess the current infrastructure to determine infrastructure improvements to prevent future breaks and to contain spills. • Repair and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure. • Expanded water quality monitoring. • Tours and observations of critical needs sites. 2 Equipment needed to address emergency situations To date, CESPT, the Tijuana municipal utility, has acquired one of the two pumping trucks needed to divert flow in a 60-inch line similar to the pipe that ruptured in February.

  • 4 Tribal Nations of San Diego County This Chapter Presents an Overall Summary of the Tribal Nations of San Diego County and the Water Resources on Their Reservations
    4 Tribal Nations of San Diego County This chapter presents an overall summary of the Tribal Nations of San Diego County and the water resources on their reservations. A brief description of each Tribe, along with a summary of available information on each Tribe’s water resources, is provided. The water management issues provided by the Tribe’s representatives at the San Diego IRWM outreach meetings are also presented. 4.1 Reservations San Diego County features the largest number of Tribes and Reservations of any county in the United States. There are 18 federally-recognized Tribal Nation Reservations and 17 Tribal Governments, because the Barona and Viejas Bands share joint-trust and administrative responsibility for the Capitan Grande Reservation. All of the Tribes within the San Diego IRWM Region are also recognized as California Native American Tribes. These Reservation lands, which are governed by Tribal Nations, total approximately 127,000 acres or 198 square miles. The locations of the Tribal Reservations are presented in Figure 4-1 and summarized in Table 4-1. Two additional Tribal Governments do not have federally recognized lands: 1) the San Luis Rey Band of Luiseño Indians (though the Band remains active in the San Diego region) and 2) the Mount Laguna Band of Luiseño Indians. Note that there may appear to be inconsistencies related to population sizes of tribes in Table 4-1. This is because not all Tribes may choose to participate in population surveys, or may identify with multiple heritages. 4.2 Cultural Groups Native Americans within the San Diego IRWM Region generally comprise four distinct cultural groups (Kumeyaay/Diegueno, Luiseño, Cahuilla, and Cupeño), which are from two distinct language families (Uto-Aztecan and Yuman-Cochimi).

S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (Service) biological opinion (Opinion) in accordance with section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), regarding the issuance of an amendment to the incidental take permit (ITP) for the Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) County of San Diego (County) Subarea Plan (Subarea Plan) for Otay Ranch Village 14 and Planning Areas 16 and 19 (Project) pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act. The Service issued the Section 10(a)(1)(B) permit (PRT-840414) to the County for their Subarea Plan on March 17, 1998. The permit duration is for 50 years. The County is requesting the Amendment to change the footprint of the Project, as well as add incidental take coverage for the federally endangered Quino checkerspot butterfly (Euphydryas editha quino; QCB) and San Diego fairy shrimp (Branchinecta sandiegonensis; SDFS). The MSCP is a comprehensive, 50-year habitat conservation plan program that addresses urban development and the needs of 85 covered species and the preservation of natural vegetation communities within a 582,243-acre planning area in southwest San Diego County (City of San Diego 1998).
