  • 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).

  • 4.1 Aesthetics and Visual Resources
    4.1 Aesthetics and Visual Resources 4.1 AESTHETICS AND VISUAL RESOURCES This section evaluates the potential impacts to visual resources and aesthetics associated with implementation of the 2050 RTP/SCS. The information presented was compiled from multiple sources, including information from the San Diego County Draft General Plan and its associated Draft EIR (2010), and the SANDAG 2030 RTP EIR (2007). 4.1.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS Regional Character The San Diego region is an area of abundant and varied scenic resources. The topography of the region contributes greatly to the overall character and quality of the existing visual setting. In general terms, the region is characterized by four topographical regions: coastal plain, foothills, mountains, and desert. The visual character of each is described briefly below. The coastal plain ranges in elevation from sea level to approximately 600 feet above mean sea level (AMSL) and varies from rolling terraces to steep cliffs along the coastline. The coastal plain provides expansive views in all directions, with the coastline visible from some local roadways. Much of the coastal plain is already developed with varying densities of urban and suburban development. Agricultural uses within the coastal area include row crops, field flowers, and greenhouses. The foothills of the San Diego region range in elevation from 600 to 2,000 feet AMSL and are characterized by rolling to hilly uplands that contain frequent narrow, winding valleys. This area is traversed by several rivers as well as a number of intermittent drainages. The foothills are also developed with various urban and rural land uses. Agriculture consists of citrus and avocado orchards as well as row crops.

  • 4.17 Water Supply
    4.17 Water Supply 4.17 WATER SUPPLY This section evaluates the potential impacts to the regional water supply associated with implementation of the 2050 RTP/SCS. The information presented was compiled from multiple sources, including the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) and Metropolitan Water District (MWD) planning documents, and City of San Diego Water Department and Caltrans staff. Information was compiled from data in the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) 2010 Integrated Water Resources Plan Update (MWD 2010) and 2009 Annual Report, the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) 2005 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) (SDCWA 2007), the SDCWA Draft 2010 UWMP (SDCWA 2010), 2003 Regional Water Facilities Master Plan (SDCWA 2002), and urban water management plans of local water districts and agencies. Ongoing water planning efforts by the State Department of Water Resources were also reviewed. 4.17.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS There are a multitude of independent districts and agencies that share the responsibility for the planning and management of the potable water delivery system throughout the San Diego region. The following section describes the water supply in the region by examining potable water supply and distribution in four categories: (1) MWD; (2) SDCWA and SDCWA Member Water Districts; (3) Special Districts and San Diego County-Operated Water Systems outside the SDCWA service area (groundwater dependent users); and (4) Borrego Valley Aquifer. Borrego Valley Aquifer is included in this discussion because this water supply source has a well-documented groundwater overdraft condition. An overdraft condition occurs when, year after year, groundwater extraction exceeds the amount of groundwater that is recharged back into the aquifer.

    4.1 Aesthetics and Visual Resources 4.1 AESTHETICS AND VISUAL RESOURCES This section evaluates the aesthetics and visual resources impacts of the proposed Plan. The information presented was compiled from multiple sources. 4.1.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS REGIONAL CHARACTER The San Diego region is a visually diverse region rich in natural open space, topographic resources, scenic highways, scenic vistas, and other distinct aesthetic resources. San Diego’s location bordering the Pacific Ocean also contributes to the natural setting of the region. The topography of the region contributes greatly to the overall character and quality of the existing visual setting. In general terms, the region is characterized by four physiographic regions: the low-lying coastal plain, foothills, mountains, and lowlands of the desert. The visual character of each is described briefly below. The coastal plain ranges in elevation from sea level to approximately 600 feet above mean sea level (AMSL) and includes beaches; bays; shoreline; coastal canyons; and the many rivers, streams, and other watercourses that drain inland areas, eventually reaching the coastal environment and waters. The coastal plain provides expansive views of scenic resources in all directions, with the coastline visible from regional transportation facilities including the LOSSAN rail corridor and I-5. Much of the coastal plain is developed with urban land uses. Agricultural uses within the coastal area include row crops, field flowers, and greenhouses. The foothills of the San Diego region range in elevation from 600 to 2,000 feet AMSL and are characterized by rolling to hilly uplands that contain frequent narrow, winding valleys. This area is traversed by several rivers, as well as a number of intermittent drainages.
