  • Cucamonga Creek and Tributaries, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, California
    STATEMENT OF FINDINGS CUCAMONGA CREEK AND TRIBUTARIES SAN BERNARDINO AND RIVERSIDE COUNTIES CALIFORNIA 1. ' As District Engineer, Los Angeles District, U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, I have reviewed and evaluated, in what I believe to be the public interest, the project Tor Cucamonga Creek, West Cucamonga Creek, and Deer Creek channel improvements, from the Sari Gabriel Mountains to Prado Reservoir, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, California, which is outlined in the project description section of this environmental statement. In evaluating this project, I have considered all project documents, comments by concerned agencies and individuals, and possible alternatives. 2. My staff has (a) compiled an environmental statement that covers the fundamental and basic environmental impacts; (b) computed the cost and economic impacts of the proposed project; (c) considered the project effects on the surrounding community; (d) considered alternatives; and (e) prepared engineering plans for the project. I have reviewed their findings and the comments of Federal, State, local agencies, and interested parties. \ 3. In my evaluation the following points were considered: a. ' Economic considerations. The proposed project will provide flood damage reduction for floods up to standard-project-fiood magnitude to developed areas consisting of valuable residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial property, important -r-utilities, arterial and interstate highways, an international airport, and transcontinental railroad lines serving the area. b. ‘ Engineering considerations. The project is designed to provide flood protection by providing debris basins and increased channel capacity. The channel is also designed to divert runoff into spreading basins for ground water recharge. c. ' Social well-being considerations. The well-being of the people in the project area will be improved because of flood protection that will reduce the possibility of loss of life, injury', disease, and inconvenience.

  • The Imperial Valley Is Located About 150 Miles Southeast of Los Angeles
    The Imperial Valley is located about 150 miles southeast of Los Angeles. It is a section of a much larger geologic structure -- the Salton Trough -- which is about 1,000 miles in length. The structure extends from San Gorgonio Pass southeast to the Mexican border, including the Gulf of California and beyond the tip of the Baja California Peninsula. The surrounding mountains are largely faulted blocks of the Southern California batholith of Mesozoic age, overlain by fragments of an earlier metamorphic complex. The valley basin consists of a sedimentary fill of sands and gravels ranging up to 15,000 feet in thickness. The layers slope gently down-valley, and contain several important aquifers. The valley is laced with major members of the San Andreas Fault system. Minor to moderate earthquake events are common, but severe shocks have not been experienced in recorded history. The entire trough, including the Gulf is an extension of the East Pacific Rise, a zone of separation in Earth's crust. Deep sea submergence instruments have observed many phenomena of crustal formation. The axis of the Rise, hence of the Salton Valley as well, is a great transform fault that is having the effect of separating an enormous slab of North America, consisting of the Baja Peninsula and coastal California away from the mainland, with movement to the northwest and out to sea as a terranne.

  • Scott Zylstra: “Late Cretaceous Metamorphic and Plutonic of Proterozoic Metasediments of Ontario Ridge, Eastern San Gabriel
    LATE CRETACEOUS PLUTONIC AND METAMORPHIC OVERPRINT OF PROTEROZOIC METASEDIMENTS OF ONTARIO RIDGE, EASTERN SAN GABRIEL MOUNTAINS, CALIFORNIA A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State Polytechnic University, Pomona In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science In Geological Sciences By Scott B. Zylstra 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many thanks to Drs. Jonathan Nourse and Nicholas Van Buer for countless hours in research, assistance and editing on this project; to Zhan Peng, Anthony LeBeau and Karissa Vermillion for laboratory assistance; to the MENTORES program and the Cal Poly Geology Department for funding; to Joshua Schwartz and Carl Jacobson for valuable insight; and to Jennifer, Gwendolyn and Lydia Jean Zylstra, without whom this work would not be possible (and with whom sometimes has been scarcely possible). iii ABSTRACT The rifting of Rodinia, particularly in western Laurentia, has been a longstanding geologic problem, as Proterozoic rocks in the western U.S. are few and far between. The eastern San Gabriel Mountains contain a large metasedimentary package that has never been dated or thoroughly mapped. We present U-Pb detrital zircon geochronology results of 439 grains dated at CSUN’s LA-ICPMS; also 24 plutonic grains and 19 metamorphic rims of detrital grains analyzed on Stanford’s SHRIMP-RG, along with a detailed map, cross section and stratigraphic column for these Ontario Ridge metasediments. Probability plots of 206Pb/207Pb ages for five quartzite samples show three distinct peaks at ~1200, 1380-1470 and 1740-1780 Ma. Maximum depositional age is constrained by 3 grains between 906 to 934 Ma, which are 11-28% discordant.

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.
