Photocredit: Adam Backlin (USGS). U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Carlsbad Fish and Wildlife Office Carlsbad, California July 13, 2012 2012 5-year Review for mountain yellow-legged frog 5-YEAR REVIEW mountain yellow-legged frog (Rana muscosa) Southern California Distinct Population Segment I. GENERAL INFORMATION Purpose of 5-year Reviews: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is required by section 4(c)(2) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) to conduct a status review of each listed species at least once every 5 years. The purpose of a 5-year review is to evaluate whether or not the species’ status has changed since it was listed (or since the most recent 5-year review). Based on the 5-year review, we recommend whether the species should be removed from the list of endangered and threatened species, be changed in status from endangered to threatened, or be changed in status from threatened to endangered. Our original listing of a species as endangered or threatened is based on the existence of threats attributable to one or more of the five threat factors described in section 4(a)(1) of the Act, and we must consider these same five factors in any subsequent consideration of reclassification or delisting of a species. In the 5-year review, we consider the best available scientific and commercial data on the species, and focus on new information available since the species was listed or last reviewed. -

Chapter 5.7 Environment & Habitat Enhancement
Chapter 5.7 Environment & Habitat Enhancement Introduction The OWOW program is a holistic planning effort that considers the various individual elements of a Watershed plan and how those elements can interact synergistically to optimize the overall wellbeing of the Watershed and its inhabitants. One of the ten planning elements, or Pillars, identified under the OWOW plan is Environmental and Habitat Enhancement, alternately referred to as the Environment/Habitat Pillar. The purpose of this chapter is to identify the scope of the Environment/Habitat Pillar and describe the current condition of and strategies used to manage water‐oriented biological resources within the Watershed. On a macro level, this chapter attempts to catalog the locations of many water‐oriented habitats within the Watershed. While there are several types of habitat within the Watershed boundary that are not directly water‐oriented (e.g., chaparral, pine forest, oak woodland, grassland), the primary focus is on water‐oriented habitat types (e.g., alluvial fans, riparian woodland, emergent wetlands, vernal pools, lakes, streams, estuaries, tidelands, open ocean). These water‐oriented habitats tend to show up on maps as the “corridors” that connect the larger, non‐water‐oriented habitats. Water‐ oriented habitats locations that are candidates for protection or enhancement are of particular interest. It should be noted that this chapter uses broad, generic categories of habitat type in order to be understandable to scientists and non‐scientists alike. While some scientists may find these categories to be imprecise, or even at times a bit inaccurate, the intent is to persuasively convey the importance of habitats in the overall health of any watershed planning effort. -
5. Environmental Analysis
5. Environmental Analysis 5.9 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY This section of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) evaluates the potential impacts to hydrology and water quality conditions in the City of Menifee from implementation of the proposed City of Menifee General Plan. Hydrology deals with the distribution and circulation of water, both on land and underground. Water quality deals with the quality of surface and groundwater. Surface is on the surface of the land and includes lakes, rivers, streams, and creeks. Groundwater is water below the surface of the earth. The analysis in this section is based in part on the following technical study: • Technical Background Report to the Safety Element of the General Plan for the City of Menifee, Riverside County, California. Earth Consultants International, Inc., July 2010. A complete copy of this study is included in Appendix G to this Draft EIR. 5.9.1 Environmental Setting Regional Drainage The City of Menifee is in the San Jacinto Subbasin of the larger Santa Ana River Watershed (see Figure 5.9-1, Santa Ana and San Jacinto River Watersheds). The Santa Ana River Watershed includes much of Orange County, the northwestern corner of Riverside County, part of southwestern San Bernardino County, and a small portion of Los Angeles County. The watershed is bounded by the Santa Margarita watershed to the south, on the east by the Salton Sea and Southern Mojave watersheds, and on the north and west by the Mojave and San Gabriel watersheds, respectively. The watershed covers approximately 2,800 square miles, with about 700 miles of rivers and major tributaries. -
4.4 Biological Resources
4.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES This section provides information on biological resources located in the Hemet planning area. Impacts on biological resources from implementation of the Draft General Plan are discussed in conjunction with mitigation measures to avoid, reduce, or compensate for significant impacts. 4.4.1 REGULATORY BACKGROUND Biological resources are subject to a variety of laws and regulations as part of the environmental review process. This section provides brief descriptions of the laws and regulations that may apply to biological resources in the planning area. FEDERAL PLANS, POLICIES, REGULATIONS, AND LAWS Federal Endangered Species Act The federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) provides legal protection for threatened and endangered plant and animal species and requires definitions of critical habitat and development of recovery plans for specific species. Section 7 of the ESA requires federal agencies to make a finding on the potential to jeopardize the continued existence of any listed species potentially impacted by all federal actions, including the approval of a public or private action, such as the issuance of a permit pursuant to Sections 10 and 404 of the U.S. Clean Water Act (CWA). Section 9 of the ESA prohibits the take of any endangered species. Take is defined by the ESA as “...to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct.” Section 10(a) of the ESA permits the incidental take of listed species if the take is incidental to, and not the purpose of, carrying out an otherwise lawful activity. Projects adversely affecting federally-listed threatened or endangered species are required to obtain take permission from the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) prior to project implementation. -

The trees occur in a 234-meter-long narrow strip along the northwestern side of the lake. The population appears to be naturalizing. The largest tree (45 cm DBH, about 20 m tall), planted in 1980, is reproductively mature. Its six offspring to the northeast and southwest are 3–5 m tall and do not presently bear cones. Key words: big tree, Cupressaceae, giant sequoia, Lake Fulmor, naturalized species, Riverside County, Sequoiadendron, Sequoiadendron giganteum, southern California. -

As a result of both federal and City permitting requirements, the Parcel No. 360-130-003 Project (Project) must comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) is the lead agency for Section 106 compliance and the City of Menifee is the Lead Agency for the purposes of CEQA. To determine whether the proposed Project would affect historic properties or historical resources, Applied EarthWorks, Inc. (Æ) conducted a cultural resource assessment of the approximately 43- acre (ac) Project’s Area of Potential Effects (APE). A cultural resources literature and records search was completed at the Eastern Information Center (EIC) of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS), housed at the University of California, Riverside. -
