The consolidated fire center will be at Rincon, located on Highway 39 (Azusa Canyon Road), one mile beyond its intersection with East Fork Road, in San Gabriel Canyon, approximately 12 miles north of Azusa, California. The project will be funded by The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). The proposed action has no anticipated adverse effects. In addition to the proposed action, the Forest Service also evaluated one alternative: A No-Action Alternative, under which the Rincon, East Fork and Crystal Lake fire stations will indefinitely remain at their respective locations in the San Gabriel Canyon. INTRODUCTION Document Structure The Forest Service has prepared this Environmental Assessment in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other relevant Federal and State laws and regulations. This Environmental Assessment discloses the direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental impacts that would result from the proposed action and alternatives. The document is organized into four parts: Introduction: This section includes information on the history of the project proposal, the purpose of and need for the project, and the agency’s proposal for achieving that purpose and need. This section also details how the Forest Service informed the public of the proposal and how the public responded. Comparison of Alternatives, including the Proposed Action: This section provides a more detailed description of the agency’s proposed action as well as alternative methods for achieving the stated purpose and need. These alternatives were developed based on significant issues raised by the public and other agencies. This discussion also includes possible mitigation measures. Finally, this section provides a summary table of the environmental consequences associated with each alternative. Environmental Consequences: This section describes the environmental effects of implementing the proposed action and other alternatives. This analysis is organized by significant issues. Within each section, the affected environment is described first, followed by the effects of the No Action Alternative that provides a baseline for evaluation and comparison of the other alternatives that follow. Agencies and Persons Consulted: This section provides a list of preparers and agencies consulted during the development of the environmental assessment. Appendices: The appendices provide more detailed information to support the analyses presented in the environmental assessment. Additional documentation, including more detailed analyses of project-area resources, may be found in the project planning record located at the Angeles National Forest Supervisor’s Office at 701 N. Santa Anita Avenue, in Arcadia, California 91006. 1 Environmental Assessment Consolidation of Rincon, Crystal Lake, and East Fork Fire Sations Background The Rincon Fire Station has provided fire protection services for the San Gabriel Canyon in the Angles National Forest for many decades. The station is currently staffed with one fire engine, one water tender, and one fire prevention technician. In addition the site provides office space, work space, and storage for 10 recreation employees and other Ranger District programs. On January 21, 2009, the Forest Leadership Team amended its Facilities Master Plan. This Plan introduced the concept of consolidating fire facilities which have overlapping response areas into fewer centralized Fire Centers. This was partly based on a 2007 Fire Facilities Analysis (included in Appendix). In order to improve efficiency and comply with Regional and National direction, the plan calls for consolidation of fire resources into six centralized fire centers, including one at Rincon. The Rincon Fire Center will act as a station and staging area allowing for the increase and decrease of fire resources based on funding and need; and it will serve as home base for fire resources that can be strategically moved in the San Gabriel Canyon to provide coverage for high risk areas. The new Rincon Fire Station is designated to house three fire engines (Rincon, Crystal Lake, and East Fork). The current Rincon engine will remain at the Rincon Fire Station. The Crystal Lake and East Fork engines will be moved to the Rincon site. The water tender, fire prevention technician, and recreation personnel will continue to be co-located at the site. New facilities will be constructed at the Rincon site to house the three engines with personnel, the water tender with personnel, and the fire prevention technician. The Rincon, Crystal Lake, and East Fork engines each currently include a staff of seven. The water tender has a staff of two. There is one fire prevention technician. The site currently contains the following improvements: . One Office Building . One Warehouse . One temporary office trailer . One gas house structure . One pump house building . One Storage Building with adjacent canopy . A water well . A septic system . A picnic area . Various storage and work area sheds, concrete slabs, and outdoor work spaces . Site fencing and signage Recreation personnel and other District program storage and work space will be accommodated in existing facilities on site. Crystal Lake and East Fork Fire related buildings will be demolished when the new Rincon Fire Center is completed. 2 Environmental Assessment Consolidation of Rincon, Crystal Lake, and East Fork Fire Sations Purpose and Need for Action The purpose and need for the action is (i) the consolidation of facilities in the San Gabriel Canyon, without reducing first response capabilities; (ii) the improvement of energy efficiency and reduction of the carbon footprint of the Forest facilities in San Gabriel Canyon through better

  • Inventoried Roadless Areas and Wilderness Evaluations
    Introduction and Evaluation Process Summary Inventoried Roadless Areas and Wilderness Evaluations For reader convenience, all wilderness evaluation documents are compiled here, including duplicate sections that are also found in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement, Appendix D Inventoried Roadless Areas. Introduction and Evaluation Process Summary Inventoried Roadless Areas Proposed Wilderness by and Wilderness Evaluations Alternative Introduction and Evaluation Process Summary Roadless areas refer to substantially natural landscapes without constructed and maintained roads. Some improvements and past activities are acceptable within roadless areas. Inventoried roadless areas are identified in a set of maps contained in the Forest Service Roadless Area Conservation Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), Volume 2, November 2000. These areas may contain important environmental values that warrant protection and are, as a general rule, managed to preserve their roadless characteristics. In the past, roadless areas were evaluated as potential additions to the National Wilderness Preservation System. Roadless areas have maintained their ecological and social values, and are important both locally and nationally. Recognition of the values of roadless areas is increasing as our population continues to grow and demand for outdoor recreation and other uses of the Forests rises. These unroaded and undeveloped areas provide the Forests with opportunities for potential wilderness, as well as non-motorized recreation, commodities and amenities. The original Forest Plans evaluated Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE II) data from the mid- 1980s and recommended wilderness designation for some areas. Most areas were left in a roadless, non- motorized use status. This revision of Forest Plans analyzes a new and more complete land inventory of inventoried roadless areas as well as other areas identified by the public during scoping.

  • Wild and Scenic Rivers
    Wild and Scenic Rivers Background and Study Process Wild and Scenic Rivers For reader convenience, all wild and scenic study documents are compiled here, including duplicate sections that are also found in the Final Environmental Impact Statement, Appendix E Wild and Scenic Rivers. Wild and Scenic Rivers Background and Study Process Summary of Wild and Scenic Wild and Scenic Rivers River Eligibility Inventory by Forest Wild and Scenic Rivers Background and Study Process Background Congress enacted the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (WSRA) in 1968 to preserve select river's free- flowing condition, water quality and outstandingly remarkable values. The most important provision of the WSRA is protecting rivers from the harmful effects of water resources projects. To protect free- flowing character, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (which licenses nonfederal hydropower projects) is not allowed to license construction of dams, water conduits, reservoirs, powerhouses, transmission lines, or other project works on or directly affecting wild and scenic rivers (WSRs). Other federal agencies may not assist by loan, grant, and license or otherwise any water resources project that would have a direct and adverse effect on the values for which a river was designated. The WSRA also directs that each river in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System (National System) be administered in a manner to protect and enhance a river's outstanding natural and cultural values. It allows existing uses of a river to continue and future uses to be considered, so long as existing or proposed use does not conflict with protecting river values. The WSRA also directs building partnerships among landowners, river users, tribal nations, and all levels of government.
