  • Watershed Summaries
    Appendix A: Watershed Summaries Preface California’s watersheds supply water for drinking, recreation, industry, and farming and at the same time provide critical habitat for a wide variety of animal species. Conceptually, a watershed is any sloping surface that sheds water, such as a creek, lake, slough or estuary. In southern California, rapid population growth in watersheds has led to increased conflict between human users of natural resources, dramatic loss of native diversity, and a general decline in the health of ecosystems. California ranks second in the country in the number of listed endangered and threatened aquatic species. This Appendix is a “working” database that can be supplemented in the future. It provides a brief overview of information on the major hydrological units of the South Coast, and draws from the following primary sources: • The California Rivers Assessment (CARA) database (http://www.ice.ucdavis.edu/newcara) provides information on large-scale watershed and river basin statistics; • Information on the creeks and watersheds for the ESU of the endangered southern steelhead trout from the National Marine Fisheries Service (http://swr.ucsd.edu/hcd/SoCalDistrib.htm); • Watershed Plans from the Regional Water Quality Control Boards (RWQCB) that provide summaries of existing hydrological units for each subregion of the south coast (http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/rwqcbs/index.html); • General information on the ecology of the rivers and watersheds of the south coast described in California’s Rivers and Streams: Working

District County (Prefix, Agency Code, Project No.) Location 12 ORA BRLO-5955 (087) Ladd Canyon and Santiago Road, Community of Silverado For Local Assistance projects off the highway system, use headers in italics Project Description: Orange County Public Works proposes to remove and replace the existing Silverado Canyon Road over Ladd Creek Bridge (Ladd Canyon Bridge) (Bridge Number 55C0175) at a location slightly east of the intersection of Ladd Canyon Road and Silverado Canyon Road (proposed Project). The proposed Project will remove the existing Ladd Canyon Bridge and replace with a new bridge, perform required grading within the vicinity of the bridge in order to tie into the existing slopes, and provide drainage improvements where feasible. In order to provide for the temporary parking of construction equipment and construction employee vehicles and the storage of construction supplies, the proposed Project includes three staging areas along Silverado Canyon Road to the west of the existing bridge. Silverado Canyon Road will be used to transfer the supplies from the staging areas to the Project area. Based on the findings of an in-depth inspection of the bridge conducted by the County, in coordination with Caltrans, the existing Ladd Canyon Bridge has been classified as consist of a pre-cast concrete bridge that provides an expansion from the existing bridge width to provide safe conditions for vehicular traffic and pedestrian access.
