Center for Ecosystem Management and Restoration NAPA COUNTY Huichica Creek Watershed The Huichica Creek watershed is in the southwest corner of Napa County. The creek flows in a generally southern direction into Hudeman Slough, which enters the Napa River via the Napa Slough. Huichica Creek consists of approximately eight miles of channel. Huichica Creek In March 1966 and in the winters of 1970 and 1971, DFG identified O. mykiss in Huichica Creek (Hallett and Lockbaum 1972; Jones 1966, as cited in Hallett, 1972). In December 1976, DFG visually surveyed Huichica Creek from the mouth to Route 121 and concluded that the area surveyed offered little or no value as spawning or nursery grounds for anadromous fish. However, the area was said to provide passage to more suitable areas upstream (Reed 1976). In January 1980, DFG visually surveyed Huichica Creek from Route 121 upstream to the headwaters. Oncorhynchus mykiss ranging from 75–150 mm in length were numerous and were estimated at a density of 10 per 30 meters (Ellison 1980).

  • Southern Coastal Santa Barbara Streams and Estuaries Bioassessment Program
    SOUTHERN COASTAL SANTA BARBARA STREAMS AND ESTUARIES BIOASSESSMENT PROGRAM 2014 REPORT AND UPDATED INDEX OF BIOLOGICAL INTEGRITY Prepared for: City of Santa Barbara, Creeks Division County of Santa Barbara, Project Clean Water Prepared By: www.ecologyconsultantsinc.com Ecology Consultants, Inc. Executive Summary Introduction This report summarizes the results of the 2014 Southern Coastal Santa Barbara Streams and Estuaries Bioassessment Program, an effort funded by the City of Santa Barbara and County of Santa Barbara. This is the 15th year of the Program, which began in 2000. Ecology Consultants, Inc. (Ecology) prepared this report, and serves as the City and County’s consultant for the Program. The purpose of the Program is to assess and monitor the “biological integrity” of study streams and estuaries as they respond through time to natural and human influences. The Program involves annual collection and analyses of benthic macroinvertebrate (BMI) samples and other pertinent physiochemical and biological data at study streams using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) endorsed rapid bioassessment methodology. BMI samples are analyzed in the laboratory to determine BMI abundance, composition, and diversity. Scores and classifications of biological integrity are determined for study streams using the BMI based Index of Biological Integrity (IBI) constructed by Ecology. The IBI was initially built in 2004, updated in 2009, and has been updated again this year. The IBI yields a numeric score and classifies the biological integrity of a given stream as Very Poor, Poor, Fair, Good, or Excellent based on the contents of the BMI sample collected from the stream. Several “core metrics” are calculated and used to determine the IBI score.

  • ACR Heron and Egret Project (HEP) 2018 Season
    ACR Heron and Egret Project (HEP) 2018 Season Dear Friends, Here it is once again, our annual call to “get HEP!” To all new and returning volunteers, thank you so much for contributing your time and expertise to the 29th season of ACR’s Heron and Egret Project. Together we continue to expand our rich, decades‐long data set that is put into action each year to increase our understanding of the natural world and promote its conservation. Last year we were pleased to tell you about the new Heron and Egret Telemetry Project. Led by Scott Jennings and David Lumpkin, we had a successful first year—safely tagging three adult Great Egrets. You can follow along as we observe the highly‐detailed log of their movements right here: https://www.egret.org/heron‐egret‐telemetry‐project. Coupled with the detailed reproductive information that you collect at each nesting site, these GPS data will help us improve our understanding of the roles herons and egrets play in the wetland ecosystem and how their habitat needs affect population dynamics. Ultimately, we hope these findings will inform conservation efforts and inspire generations of people to value these beautiful birds and the wetlands that sustain us all. As most of you already know, this is John Kelly’s last year as Director of Conservation Science at Audubon Canyon Ranch. Though it is difficult to imagine life at the Cypress Grove Research Center without John’s intelligent leadership, fierce conservation ethic, and kind support, we are all very grateful for the time he has given this organization and look forward to hearing about his new adventures.

CBCs are a long- presented by Bob Steele standing holiday tradition - one of the best there is. Its as non-denominational as holiday cheer gets, and for just a Midway Atoll (mid-way between the U.S. mainland and $5 fee, its way cheaper than most of those other Japan) is important for many historical and biological traditions. This is when that bright Wilsons Warbler, so reasons. Today it is part of three federal designations - common as to be unworthy of notice three months ago, is Midway Atoll NWR, Papahânaumokuâkea Marine National suddenly a prize.

  • The Biological Resources Section Provides Background Information
    4.5 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES The Biological resources section provides background information on sensitive biological resources within Napa County, the regulations and programs that provide for their protection, and an assessment of the potential impacts to biological resources of implementing the Napa County General Plan Update. This section is based upon information presented in the Biological Resources Chapter of the Napa County Baseline Data Report (Napa County, BDR 2005). Additional information on the topics presented herein can be found in these documents. Both documents are incorporated into this section by reference. This section addresses biological resources other than fisheries which are separately addressed in Section 4.6. 4.5.1 SETTING REGIONAL SETTING The Napa County is located in the Coast Ranges Geomorphic Province. This province is bounded on the west by the Pacific Ocean and on the east by the Great Valley geomorphic province. A dominant characteristic of the Coast Ranges Province is the general northwest- southeast orientation of its valleys and ridgelines. In Napa County, located in the eastern, central section of the province, this trend consists of a series of long, linear, major and lesser valleys, separated by steep, rugged ridge and hill systems of moderate relief that have been deeply incised by their drainage systems. The County is located within the California Floristic Province, the portion of the state west of the Sierra Crest that is known to be particularly rich in endemic plant species (Hickman 1993, Stein et al. 2000). LOCAL SETTING The County’s highest topographic feature is Mount St. Helena, which is located in the northwest corner of the County and whose peak elevation is 4,343 feet.

  • Consultation and Coordination
    Brantley and Avalon Reservoirs RMPA Final Environmental Assessment February 2011 CHAPTER 5: CONSULTATION AND COORDINATION The preparation of the Brantley and Avalon Reservoirs Resource Management Plan Amendment (RMPA) Environmental Assessment (EA) required a comprehensive consultation and coordination effort throughout the RMPA planning process. The U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) initiated the RMPA planning process in July 2006 by requesting comments to determine the scope of issues and concerns that needed to be addressed in this Final EA document. As part of the resource inventory phase of the planning process, members of the interdisciplinary team formally and informally contacted various relevant agencies to request data to supplement Reclamation’s existing resource database. This chapter describes the coordination with agencies that either have jurisdiction by law or interest in the development of the RMPA for the Project Area. In addition, this chapter describes the public involvement process that was undertaken for the Brantley and Avalon Reservoirs RMPA project and provides a distribution list of agencies and organizations receiving a copy of this Final EA. Written comments received on the Draft EA document, along with Reclamation responses, are provided in Appendix D. 5.1 CONSULTATION A number of Federal and State government agencies, as well as local governments, were consulted during the RMPA planning process through communications, meetings, and other cooperative efforts. Cooperating agencies for this EA are the U.S. Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Carlsbad Irrigation District (CID). Additional government agencies consulted included the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the New Mexico State Historic Preservation Office (NMSHPO), the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish (NMDGF), and 19 Native American Tribes.

  • Assessment of Episodic Streams in the San Diego Region
    CW Assessment of Episodic SC RP Streams in the San Diego Es 69 Region tablished 19 Raphael D. Mazor Jeff Brown Eric D. Stein John R. Olson Matthew D. Robinson Theresa Clark SCCWRP Technical Report 1011 Assessment of Episodic Streams in the San Diego Region Raphael D. Mazor1, Jeff Brown1, Eric D. Stein1, John R. Olson2, Matthew D. Robinson2, and Theresa Clark2 1Southern California Coastal Water Research Project 2California State University, Monterey Bay December 2017 Technical Report 1011 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ephemeral streams and intermittent rivers are an important component of watersheds in arid regions, such as Southern California. They face increasing pressure from storm- or wastewater discharges, groundwater extraction, intensive recreation, and other human activities. Watershed managers need tools to assess and manage the impacts of these activities. To this end, the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board, the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project, and California State University at Monterey Bay completed a pilot project to develop and evaluate potential indicators of biological condition for use in ephemeral streams during their dry phase. When complete, these tools could support the integration of ephemeral streams into Water Board programs, such as headwater protection, identification of impaired beneficial uses, and evaluation of discharges or spills in these systems. Currently, such activities focus primarily on perennial or long-duration intermittent streams, which comprise only a small portion (~10%) of the San Diego Region’s watersheds. Cold Spring Creek (left), a minimally disturbed site, and Trabuco Creek (right), a highly disturbed site, represent the range of conditions evaluated in this study. Following the EPA’s tiered approach towards wetland assessment, this study evaluated both “Level 2” (rapid, field-based) and “Level 3” (intensive) methods for assessing condition.

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.
