  • Water Resources
    Preliminary Investigation B: Water Resources Prepared by: Tim Brick, Arroyo Seco Foundation The Arroyo Seco watershed is a major source of local water supply. The Arroyo Seco and its mountain watershed contribute about 40% of the water supply for Pasadena and neighboring communities. The Raymond Basin The Arroyo Seco watershed feeds the Raymond Basin aquifer, a 40 square mile groundwater basin that extends from La Canada and the San Rafael hills on the west to Santa Anita Canyon on the east, from the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains to the Raymond fault, a seven mile seismic feature, which runs along the boundary between Pasadena and South Pasadena and then extends out through San Marino and Arcadia to Santa Anita Canyon on the east. The groundwater basin is recharged by the Arroyo Seco, a tributary of the Los Angeles River, and by Eaton Canyon, Santa Anita Canyon and other streams in the watershed of the San Gabriel River. The Arroyo Seco stream contributes approximately one third of the natural replenishment of the aquifer. The long-term average yield of the Raymond Basin is about 30,000 acre-feet per year. Pumping rights in the Raymond Basin are adjudicated, i.e. determined by a court order, and managed by the Raymond Basin Management Board. The goal of the basin management program is to ensure a safe yield which will balance extraction with natural replenishment. Sixteen pumpers have rights to pump from the Raymond Basin. Three major subareas make up the aquifer: the Monk Hill subarea, which underlies La Canada and Northwest Pasadena, the larger Pasadena subarea, which underlies Pasadena and Altadena, and the Santa Anita subarea, which underlies Arcadia and Sierra Madre.

  • 4.8 Hydrology and Water Quality
    January 2018 CHAPTER 4 Environmental Analysis SECTION 4.8 Hydrology and Water Quality 4.8 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY This section of the EIR analyzes the potential environmental effects on hydrology and water quality from implementation of the proposed project. Data for this section were taken from the Glendale Emergency Plan, Glendale General Plan Safety Element Technical Background Report, the EPA, and Upper Los Angeles River Watershed Watermaster. Full reference-list entries for all cited materials are provided in Section 4.8.5 (References). 4.8.1 Environmental Setting Surface Water The proposed SGCP area is within the Los Angeles River watershed, which includes 834 square miles of Los Angeles County. The eastern portion of the watershed spans from the Santa Monica Mountains to the Simi Hills and in the west from the Santa Susana Mountains to the San Gabriel Mountains. The watershed encompasses and is shaped by the Los Angeles River. The river flows adjacent to the western and southern borders of the proposed SGCP area in a concrete lined channel. The upper portion of the watershed (Upper Los Angeles River Watershed), where the proposed SGCP area is located, contains a network of flood control dams and debris basins that flow to the Los Angeles River (LACDPW 2016). The Upper Los Angeles River watershed is home to approximately 2.3 million people, mostly in high density development in the interior valleys and foothills. Precipitation within the Upper Los Angeles River watershed typically falls in a few major storm events between November and March to an average of 19 inches per year.

  • GOCHA Landfill Position Paper
    GLENOAKS CANYON HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION’S (GOCHA) POSITION ON THE FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE SCHOLL CANYON LANDFILL 2015 INTRODUCTION GOCHA represents the families of approximately 775 single-family homes within Glenoaks Canyon (“Canyon”), which is located at the eastern part of Glendale in the San Rafael Hills. The Scholl Canyon Landfill (“Landfill”) forms the easternmost boundary of the Canyon and is situated at the summit of a section of the San Rafael Hills directly above the Canyon. The Landfill extends from the summit of the San Rafael Hills to the bottom of Glenoaks Canyon where it terminates at the Lower Scholl Canyon Park. The Landfill’s address is 3001 Scholl Canyon Road, Glendale, California, 91206. It can be reached from the Ventura Freeway (State Route 134) by taking the Figueroa Street exit in Eagle Rock area of the City of Los Angeles. The Landfill consists of 535 acres, of which 440 acres of which are designated for landfill operations and 95 acres are designated for other related operations. Of the area designated for landfill operations, 314 acres are currently active and 126 acres are inactive. The Landfill was first opened in 1961 and currently serves a waste shed consisting of the cities of Glendale, Pasadena, La Canada-Flintridge, San Marino, Sierra Madre, and South Pasadena, and the unincorporated communities of Altadena, La Crescenta, Montrose, and East Pasadena. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY GOCHA is opposed to the City of Glendale (The City) prolonging the current more than 50-year-life of the Scholl Canyon Landfill (1961 to 2015) either through the construction of an anaerobic digestion facility or expansion of the landfill site for waste disposal, as proposed in the Environmental Impact Report that will soon come before the City Council for review.

  • B118 Basin Boundary Description 2003 –4 023 Raymond
    Hydrologic Region South Coast California’s Groundwater Raymond Groundwater Basin Bulletin 118 Raymond Groundwater Basin • Groundwater Basin Number: 4-23 • County: Los Angeles • Surface Area: 26,200 acres (40.9 square miles) Basin Boundaries and Hydrology The Raymond Basin is located in the northwest part of the San Gabriel Valley, in eastern Los Angeles County, and was considered a part of the San Gabriel Valley Groundwater Basin (4-13) in Bulletin 118-75 and Bulletin 118-80. The Raymond Basin includes the water-bearing sediments bounded by the contact with consolidated basement rocks of the San Gabriel Mountains on the north and the San Rafael Hills on the southwest. The west boundary is delineated by a drainage divide at Pickens Canyon Wash and the southeast boundary is the Raymond fault. Precipitation averages in the basin range from about 19 inches in valley to 25 inches in upland areas. The average precipitation over the basin is about 21 inches. Hydrogeologic Information Water Bearing Formations The water-bearing materials of Raymond Basin are dominated by unconsolidated Quaternary alluvial gravel, sand, and silt deposited by streams flowing out of the San Gabriel Mountains. Younger alluvium typically follows active streambeds and reaches a maximum thickness of about 150 feet. Older alluvium generally thickens southward from the mountain front, reaching a maximum of about 1,140 feet near Pasadena, then thins to about 200 feet near the Raymond fault (RBMB 1985). Water in the older alluvium is typically unconfined and clast sizes grade from coarser to finer moving away from the San Gabriel Mountains (DPW 1954; DWR 1971).

  • Chapter 4: Fire Hazards
    TECHNICAL BACKGROUND REPORT to the 2003 SAFETY ELEMENT CITY of GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA CHAPTER 4: FIRE HAZARDS 4.1 Wildland Fires Due to its weather, topography and native vegetation, the entire southern California area is at risk from wildland fires. The extended droughts characteristic of California’s Mediterranean climate result in large areas of dry vegetation that provide fuel for wildland fires. Furthermore, the native vegetation typically has a high oil content that makes it highly flammable. The area is also intermittently impacted by Santa Ana (or Santana) winds, the hot, dry winds that blow across southern California in the spring and late fall. These winds often fan and help spread fires in the region. Combine these conditions with the fact that more people than ever are living and playing in wildland areas, and the potential for major wildland fires to occur increases even further. In fact, the wildfire risk in the United States has increased in the last few decades with the increasing encroachment of residences and other structures into the wildland environment and the enduring drought conditions that have affected some regions. Between 1990 and 1999 inclusive, there were on average 106,347 wildfires annually in the United States, for a combined average annual burn of nearly 3.65 million acres of brush (htpp://nifc.gov/fireinfo/1999/highlites.html). These fires are for the most part caused by people: between 1988 and 1997, human-induced fires burned nearly eight times more acreage than fires caused by lightning. A wildfire that consumes hundreds to thousands of acres of vegetated property can overwhelm local emergency response resources.

  • Water Resources Technical Report
    Appendix E: Water Resources Technical Report IV-E The Arroyo Seco Watershed Restoration Feasibility Study Water Resources By Tim Brick A Brief History of Water Development in the Arroyo Seco The Water System – How It Works Watershed Management Flowing Waters, Fruitful Valley A Brief History of Water Development in the Arroyo Seco Geographically and historically the Arroyo Seco has played an important role in the development of water resources in Southern California. The Natural History Geology divided the Arroyo Seco into three distinct sections with very different hydrologic characteristics: 1) the precipitous upper mountain watershed; 2) the Raymond Basin area including Pasadena and surrounding communities; and 3) the region below the Raymond Dyke in South Pasadena and northeast Los Angeles. About half the length of the Arroyo Seco lies in the upper mountain watershed. This is the front range of the Sierra Madre or San Gabriel Mountains, well known for harsh conditions and landslides. Fierce rainstorms and raging forest fires periodically attack the steep erosion-prone slopes in this relatively small upper watershed (32 square miles) to create the conditions for substantial floods that occasionally roar into the heavily populated communities below. As the Arroyo Seco emerges from the San Gabriel Mountains, its steep descent slows and the waters cut through an alluvial plain. Beneath this region, which includes La Cañada-Flintridge, Altadena, Pasadena, Sierra Madre and part of Arcadia, lies the Raymond Basin – a massive bowl of alluvial sand and gravel filled with water. The south rim of the basin is the Raymond Dyke, a geological fault that runs from Highland Park to Raymond Hill at Pasadena’s southern boundary with South Pasadena and then through San Marino just north of Huntington Drive to Santa Anita Canyon on the east side of Arcadia.
