No State Or Local Agencies Have Specific Jurisdiction Over Paleontological Resources on Private Lands
3.10 Paleontological Resources STATE REGULATIONS No state or local agencies have specific jurisdiction over paleontological resources on private lands. No state agency requires a paleontological collecting permit to allow for the recovery of fossil remains discovered as a result of construction-related earthmoving on state or private land at a project site. LOCAL PLANS AND POLICIES There are no regional and local plans, policies, regulations, or laws related to paleontological resources that apply to the General Plan update. PROFESSIONAL PALEONTOLOGICAL STANDARDS The Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, a national scientific organization of professional vertebrate paleontologists, has established standard guidelines that outline acceptable professional practices in the conduct of paleontological resource assessments and surveys, monitoring and mitigation, data and fossil recovery, sampling procedures, specimen preparation, analysis, and curation (Society of Vertebrate Paleontology 1995, 1996). Most practicing professional paleontologists in the nation adhere to the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology assessment, mitigation, and monitoring requirements, as specifically spelled out in its standard guidelines. 3.10.3 THRESHOLDS FOR DETERMINING SIGNIFICANCE The impact of the proposed project related to paleontological resources would be considered significant if it would exceed the following threshold of significance, in accordance with Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines: ► Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geological feature. In its standard guidelines for assessment and mitigation of adverse impacts on paleontological resources, the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (1995) established three categories of sensitivity for paleontological resources: high, low, and undetermined. Areas where fossils have been previously found are considered to have a high sensitivity and a high potential to produce fossils.

LA Zoo Vision Plan
3.14 Recreation 3.14 RECREATION The Zoo is a unique attraction within Griffith Park and the greater Los Angeles area. The proposed Project is expected to increase visitation to the Zoo and surrounding area, creating the potential for additional use and physical deterioration of recreational facilities, including those within the Zoo and Griffith Park. Additionally, proposed expansion to the Zoo and associated recreational facilities could result in physical impacts to the surrounding environment. However, proposed expansion in visitor-serving areas and public parkland would accommodate the projected increase in use, reducing potential for adverse impacts. Therefore, impacts to recreational facilities from the Project would be less than significant. This section addresses recreational facilities that would be affected by the Los Angeles Zoo Vision Plan (Vision Plan) in the City of Los Angeles (City). The analysis describes the regulatory setting, the existing conditions at the Zoo and vicinity, and the potential impact of the implementation of the Vision Plan (Project) on recreational facilities. Impact analysis considers the potential for physical detriment or reduction in access to existing recreational facilities and whether development of new recreational facilities would significantly affect the environment. 3.14.1 Environmental Setting Regulatory Setting State and local laws and regulations have been enacted to ensure adequate provision of recreational facilities in the City. There are no federal regulations that apply to the Project. State Regulations Quimby Act (California Government Code Section 66477) The Quimby Act (California Government Code Section 66477) was established in 1965 by the California Legislature to set forth provisions in the State Subdivision Map Act for the dedication of parkland (e.g., dedication ratio of three acres per 1,000 population) and/or payment of in-lieu fees as a condition of approval of certain types of residential development projects.

SMBNEP Semi-Annual Report 30 April 2019 SANTA MONICA BAY NATIONAL ESTUARY PROGRAM Semi-Annual Report 1 October 2018 – 31 March 2019 Report Date: 30 April 2019 Prepared for the United States Environmental Protection Agency Semi-Annual Report Overview and Structure This semi-annual report outlines and provides an update for each of the FY19 Work Plan tasks for the time period 1 October 2018 through 31 March 2019, the first semi-annual reporting period for FY19. Many of the FY19 tasks continue past efforts. Each table summarizes the current status and a synthesis of updates for each task. For some tasks requiring more description or discussion, an extended narrative follows the table for that task. Note that the FY19 Work Plan was still based on the 2013 Bay Restoration Plan (BRP) and not the October 2018 Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP) Action Plan. The scope of this semi-annual report is broad and structured into three overarching Program Areas to match the structure of the FY19 Work Plan. The Program Area identified as Water Resources and Quality Improvement relates specifically to the BRP Priority Issue: Water Quality; the Program Area identified as Natural Resource Protection and Habitat Restoration relates specifically to the BRP Priority Issue: Natural Resources. There has also been focus and efforts in FY19 on implementing programs that interconnect and integrate issues across traditional boundaries such as climate change and comprehensive monitoring. These interdisciplinary issues that cover a broad range of topics are categorized into the Work Plan Program Area: Multidisciplinary and Integrative Programs. The diagram below illustrates the connection between SMBNEP’s FY19 Work Plan and BRP 2013 Priority Issues.
