Dams Within Jurisdiction of the State of California State of California California Natural Resources Agency Department of Water Resources Division of Safety of Dams Dams Within Jurisdiction of the State of California September 2017 Dams Listed Alphabetically by County Dams Within Jurisdiction of the State of California Dams Listed Alphabetically By County September 2017 Photo used with permission from the City and County of San Francisco DSOD – Data Definitions – Page i Dam Number Unique identification number used for inventorying dams in California based on the jurisdictional status of a dam. This number is assigned and used by the Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD). National Inventory of Dams Identification Number (National ID No.) Unique identification number used for inventorying dams in the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers’ National Inventory of Dams (NID) database. DSOD is responsible for assigning this number for dams in California. Dam Name The dam name as given by the owner, which may not be unique and may differ from the name of the lake. Owner Name The entity or person with legal responsibility for the dam. Owner Type Owners are organized into the following categories: Associations (Home Owners Associations, etc.) City, city agency, or city district County, county agency, or county district Individual owner/Private citizen (Owner Name not provided) Park, sanitation, utility, or water district Private company, corporation, LLC, or partnership Private trusts and estates State Agency Water agency or authority Dam Height Vertical distance from the downstream toe of the dam to the dam crest (measured in feet). Crest Length Distance measured along the dam crest from one abutment to the other (measured in feet). Reservoir Capacity Maximum amount of water that the dam can impound (measured in acre-feet). Dam Type A four letter code describing and categorizing the principal material, style, or construction method of the dam: CORA Constant Radius Arch MULA Multiple Arch CRIB Crib Wall RECT Reinforced Concrete Tank ERRK Earth and Rock ROCK Rock Fill ERTH Earthen Embankment SLBT Slab and Buttress FLBT Flashboard and Buttress VARA Variable Radius Arch GRAV Gravity INFL Inflatable HYDF Hydraulic Fill RCC Roller Compacted Concrete Certified Status The certified status of a dam is one of three statuses: Status Description Jurisdictional sized dams that may safely impound water to the elevation specified on the Certified Certificate of Approval. Jurisdictional sized dams without water impounding capabilities under reasonable Certified/Inop foreseeable conditions, taking into account the size of the drainage area. Jurisdictional sized dams that operate without a Certificate of Approval. Generally, these Not Certified dams are in the process of becoming certified, altered to less than jurisdictional size, or being removed. DSOD – Data Definitions – Page ii Downstream Hazard The downstream hazard is based solely on potential downstream impacts to life and property should the dam fail when operating with a full reservoir. This hazard is not related to the condition of the dam or its appurtenant structures. The definitions for downstream hazard are borrowed from the Federal Guidelines for Inundation Mapping of Flood Risks Associated with Dam Incidents and Failures (FEMA P-946, July 2013). FEMA categorizes the downstream hazard potential into three categories in increasing severity: Low, Significant, and High. DSOD adds a fourth category of “Extremely High” to identify dams that may impact highly populated areas or critical infrastructure, or have short evacuation warning times. Downstream Hazard Loss of Economic, Environmental, Classification Human Life and Lifeline Losses Low None expected Low and generally limited to owner’s property Significant None expected Yes High Probable (one or more expected) Yes, but not necessary for this classification Yes, major impacts to critical infrastructure or Extremely High Considerable property Condition Assessment California DSOD uses NID’s condition rating definitions, with additional criteria, as a guideline in assigning condition assessments. National Inventory of Dams California DSOD Rating Definitions Additional Criteria No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, Satisfactory None hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the applicable regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines Dam has a long-standing deficiency that is No existing dam safety deficiencies are not being addressed in a timely manner recognized for normal loading conditions. Rare Dam is not certified and its safety is under Fair or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events evaluation may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk Dam is restricted and operation of the may be in the range to take further action reservoir at the lower level does not mitigate the deficiency A dam safety deficiency is recognized for loading conditions that may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. A poor rating Dam has multiple deficiencies or a significant Poor may also be used when uncertainties exist as deficiency that requires extensive remedial to critical analysis parameters that identify a work potential dam safety deficiency. Further investigations and studies are necessary A dam safety deficiency is recognized that Unsatisfactory requires immediate or emergency remedial None action for problem resolution The dam has not been inspected, is not under Not Rated State jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, None for whatever reason, has not been rated Reservoir Restrictions DSOD may direct or order an owner to operate the reservoir to a specified water surface elevation level that is lower than the maximum storage level. In addition, owners may self-impose a restriction as a result of an owner-initiated study that identifies a dam safety issue. Reservoir restrictions are typically imposed for deficiencies of the dam, spillway, low-level outlet, or other appurtenances with respect to dam safety.

  • Alternatives Analysis
    DRAFT NCCP/MSAA/HCP APPENDIX P ‘B’ Alternatives Analysis Note to Reader: The comparative alternatives analyses in this Appendix combine Habitat Reserve and Supplemental Open Space (SOS) acres because both are designated open space. The Habitat Reserve and SOS are identical for all areas outside of Rancho Mission Viejo (RMV) property. The more refined conservation analysis presented in Part I, Chapter 13 for the RMV, County of Orange and San Margarita Water District (SMWD) proposed Covered Activities separates the Habitat Reserve and SOS components because Habitat Reserve open space will be managed under the Habitat Reserve Management Program (HRMP) described in Part I, Chapter 7. SOS will not be subject to management under the HRMP. All figures referenced in this Appendix are located in the NCCP/MSAA/HCP Part IV, Map Book. SECTION 1.0 ALTERNATIVE B-8 SECTION 1.1 OVERVIEW OF THE B-8 ALTERNATIVE (FIGURE 129-M) 1.1.1 Overview of Major Landscape and Habitat Reserve Planning Features of the Proposed Habitat Reserve on RMV Property a. Major Landscape Features In comparison with the B-10M and B-12 Alternatives, the B-8 Alternative proposes to maximize the open space on RMV lands with the result that County housing needs are addressed to a far lesser extent than in any of the other Alternatives. Alternative B-8 identifies Chiquita Canyon, Verdugo Canyon and all of the RMV portion of the San Mateo Creek Watershed as open space. All of the habitat linkages and wildlife movement corridors identified in the Draft Southern Planning Guidelines and Draft Watershed Planning Principles would be protected (Figure 156- M).

  • Summary of Results of Charitable Solicitation Campaigns Conducted by Commercial Fundraisers in Calendar Year 2016
    SUMMARY OF RESULTS OF CHARITABLE SOLICITATION CAMPAIGNS CONDUCTED BY COMMERCIAL FUNDRAISERS IN CALENDAR YEAR 2016 XAVIER BECERRA Attorney General State of California SUMMARY OF RESULTS OF CHARITABLE SOLICITATION BY COMMERCIAL FUNDRAISERS FOR YEAR ENDING 2016 (Government Code § 12599) TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGES SUMMARY 1 - 5 TABLE SUBJECT/TITLE 1 ALPHABETICAL LISTING BY CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION 2 LISTING BY PERCENT TO CHARITY IN DESCENDING ORDER 3 THRIFT STORE OPERATIONS – GOODS PURCHASED FROM CHARITY 4 THRIFT STORE OPERATIONS – MANAGEMENT FEE/COMMISSION 5 VEHICLE DONATIONS – ALPHABETICAL BY CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION 6 COMMERCIAL COVENTURERS – ALPHABETICAL BY CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION California Department of Justice November 2017 SUMMARY Every year Californians provide generous support to a wide array of charities, either directly or through commercial fundraisers that charities hire to solicit donations on their behalf. The term “commercial fundraiser” refers generally to a person or corporation that contracts with a charity, for compensation, to solicit funds. The commercial fundraiser charges either a flat fee or a percentage of the donations collected. By law, commercial fundraisers are required to register with the Attorney General’s Registry of Charitable Trusts and file a Notice of Intent before soliciting donations in California. For each solicitation campaign conducted, commercial fundraisers are then required to file annual financial disclosure reports that set forth total revenue and expenses incurred. This Summary Report is prepared from self-reported information contained in the annual financial disclosure reports filed by commercial fundraisers for 2016 and includes statistics for donations of both cash and used personal property (such as clothing and vehicles) for the benefit of charity. Only information from complete financial reports received before October 20, 2017 is included.

  • Executive Summary
    Mining’s Toxic Legacy An Initiative to Address Mining Toxins in the Sierra Nevada Executive Summary Published March 2008 by The Sierra Fund The Sierra Fund’s Initiative to address legacy mining pollution has been made possible by the support of: The California Endowment The Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund and True North Foundation Executive Summary ________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Is human health, water quality or the environment at risk from historic mining toxins? The Gold Rush changed California demographics as indigenous people were dislocated and mining towns appeared and disappeared across the Sierra Nevada Mountains. A less recognized consequence of the California Gold Rush was the massive environmental destruction that took place, which still plagues the Sierra today. Working with partners from state, federal, and tribal governments as well as from the academic, health, and environmental communities, The Sierra Fund’s report “Mining’s Toxic Legacy” is the first comprehen- sive evaluation of what happened during the Gold Rush, including: the cultural, health, and environmental impacts of this era; the obstacles that lie in the way of addressing these impacts; and a strategic plan for taking action on the longest neglected environmental problem in the Golden State of California. The California Gold Rush clawed out of the foothills of the Sierra Nevada considerable gold—93 tons or 2.7 million troy ounces in the peak year of 1853 alone... In the course of doing so, everything in the region and much downstream was ravaged. Wildlife was decimated. Trees were cut down to burn for domestic and industrial purposes and to build the huge mining infrastructure that was firmly in place by the 1870s.

  • Salmon and Steelhead in Your Creek: Restoration and Management of Anadromous Fish in Bay Area Watersheds
    Salmon and Steelhead in Your Creek: Restoration and Management of Anadromous Fish in Bay Area Watersheds Presentation Summaries (in order of appearance) Gary Stern, National Marine Fisheries Service Steelhead as Threatened Species: The Status of the Central Coast Evolutionarily Significant Unit Under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), a "species" is defined to include "any distinct population segment of any species of vertebrate fish or wildlife which interbreeds when mature." To assist NMFS apply this definition of "species to Pacific salmon stocks, an interim policy established the use of "evolutionarily significant unit (ESU) of the biological species. A population must satisfy two criteria to be considered an ESU: (1) it must be reproductively isolated from other conspecific population units; and (2) it must represent an important component in the evolutionary legacy of the biological species. The listing of steelhead as "threatened" in the California Central Coast resulted from a petition filed in February 1994. In response to the petition, NMFS conducted a West Coast-wide status review to identify all steelhead ESU’s in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and California. There were two tiers to the review: (1) regional expertise was used to determine the status of all streams with regard to steelhead; and (2) a biological review team was assembled to review the regional team's data. Evidence used in this process included data on precipitation, annual hydrographs, monthly peak flows, water temperatures, native freshwater fauna, major vegetation types, ocean upwelling, and smolt and adult out-migration (i.e., size, age and time of migration). Steelhead within San Francisco Bay tributaries are included in the Central California Coast ESU.
