Birds Is More Or Less a Mystery and a Surprise U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Tijuana Slough National Wildlife Refuge Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve Birdlist “The coming and going of the birds is more or less a mystery and a surprise.

  • Chapter I – Purpose and Need
    1 Environmental Assessment Kitchen Creek Helitanker Base Project To comply with the National Environmental Policy Act, the Kitchen Creek Helitanker Base Environmental Assessment has been prepared. This Environmental Assessment tiers to the decision for the 2005 Land and Resource Management Plan for the Cleveland National Forest and complies with the standards and guidelines of that plan. To avoid bulk and duplication these documents are incorporated by reference. These documents, as well as information from the project record are available from the Cleveland National Forest Supervisor’s Office, San Diego, California. This Environmental Assessment is not a decision document. Instead, it presents the evidence and analysis necessary to determine whether the consequences of the Proposed Action are “significant” and therefore whether an Environmental Impact Statement is necessary. The Responsible Official (Donn Christiansen, District Ranger, Descanso Ranger District) will determine whether an Environmental Impact Statement is necessary and whether or not to implement one of the alternatives considered in the Environmental Assessment. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in all its programs and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation, or marital or family status. (Not all prohibited bases apply to all programs.) Persons with disabilities who require alternative means for communication of program information (Braille, large print, audiotape, etc.) should contact USDA's TARGET Center at (202) 720-2600 (voice and TDD). To file a complaint of discrimination, write USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, Room 326-W, Whitten Building, 14th and Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20250-9410 or call (202) 720-5964 (voice and TDD).

  • Rethinking Mexico and Its Ties to Silicon Valley Neighboring Nation’S Young Venture Capital Industry Is Growing Rapidly
    Opinion: Rethinking Mexico and its ties to Silicon Valley Neighboring nation’s young venture capital industry is growing rapidly Sean Randolph – July 3, 2021 When Americans think about Mexico many things may come to mind — immigration, cartels or perhaps beaches. Technology and innovation are probably not on that list but reflect that a new reality is taking hold across Mexico — led by investors, entrepreneurs and leaders in states and cities — that is moving Mexico onto the map of U.S. technology and innovation partners. In this transformation, Silicon Valley’s role looms large. Here’s why. Mexico’s young venture capital industry is growing rapidly. From $55 million in 2010, annual investment has grown to more than $1 billion. Softbank’s $5 billion Innovation Fund, created several years ago to invest in Latin America, was a turning point that put Mexico on the global venture map. Now the country boasts unicorns and fast-growing startups. More are on the way, supported by universities, accelerators and by large tech and startup conferences such as Talent Land in Guadalajara and INCmty on Monterrey. This activity is concentrated in a number of states and cities that are strengthening their base in R&D and are working hard to build local innovation systems. The most noteworthy are Tijuana, Juarez, Monterrey, Mexico City and Guadalajara, as well as Merida (in Yucatan) and states in the central El Bajio region. Each has distinct features: • Mexico City, home to the national government, top universities, leading companies and most of its venture capital industry is building its digital capacity and benefits from sheer size.

  • Figure 1. Regional Location Map
    Figure 1. Regional Location Map - 2 - INTRODUCTION SCOPE AND PURPOSE OF THE PLAN The updated San Ysidro Community Plan (Plan) is a comprehensive revision of the original plan adopted in 1974 and includes the urbanized portion of the Tijuana River Valley. The update was authorized at the City Council budget hearings of July 1987 and work on the project began in December of that year. The Planning Department, with the assistance of the San Ysidro Planning and Development Group, has studied San Ysidro’s major issues and challenges and has developed alternative solutions to realize the community’s potential. Included in the Plan is a set of recommendations based upon those alternative solutions to guide the development and the redevelopment of the San Ysidro community. Formal adoption of the revised Plan requires that the Planning Commission and City Council follow the same procedure of holding public hearings as was followed in adopting the original community plan. Adoption of the Plan also requires an amendment of the Progress Guide and General Plan (General Plan) for the City, which will occur at the first regularly scheduled General Plan amendment hearing following adoption of this Plan. Once the Plan is adopted, any amendments, additions or deletions will require that the Planning Commission and City Council follow City Council Policy 600-35 regarding the procedure for Plan amendments. Although this Plan sets forth procedures for implementation, it does not establish new regulations or legislation, nor does it rezone property. The rezoning and design controls recommended in the Plan will be enacted concurrently with Plan adoption.

    Cleveland National Forest Forest Service News Release Media Contact: Nathan Judy 858-674-2984 [email protected] San Diego River Conservancy Awards Wildfire Early Action Plan Funds to the Cleveland National Forest SAN DIEGO, Calif. — July 30, 2021. The San Diego River Conservancy authorized $3 million of Wildfire Early Action Plan grant funding for wildfire, climate, watershed, and forest health projects to the Cleveland National Forest. In April, Governor Gavin Newsom signed California Senate Bill No. 85, amending the 2020-21 Budget Act to provide additional funding for various wildfire and forest resilience activities. The Conservancy was allocated $12 million through the Wildfire Early Action Plan. The Cleveland National Forest proposed a wildfire resilience and forest health project, including fuel reduction activities on 1,485 acres of public land, 26.5 miles of roads, the construction of a helicopter landing zone, and three 10,000-gallon underground water tanks, in the headwaters of the San Diego and Tijuana River watersheds. On July 8, 2021, the San Diego River Conservancy Board approved a resolution authorizing the grant. Cleveland National Forest Supervisor Scott Tangenberg said, “These funds will allow us to increase the pace and scale of our treatments on the land with our State and local partners, which will help increase public safety and set us up for even more success in the future. We will be strengthening fire resiliency by increasing fuel reduction treatments, including forest health improvements, improving the safety of fire access roads, installing a remote water source and helicopter access for firefighting and rescues, providing more public outreach to support and encourage home hardening in the wildland urban interface, and so much more.” The projects, which all have completed National Environmental Policy Act decisions, could begin as soon as Fall 2021.
