This document summarizes the issues identified during the Project’s scoping period. The WEMO Project planning area includes over 3.2 million acres of public lands administered by the BLM, California Desert District, in the western portion of the Mojave Desert in southern California. The area is part of the CDCA, which was created by Congress with the passage of the FLPMA, and is managed according to the 1980 CDCA Plan. The WEMO Project planning area is located northeast of the Los Angeles metropolitan area and covers portions of Los Angeles, Inyo, Kern and San Bernardino Counties (Map 1). The northwestern portion is under the jurisdiction of the BLM’s Ridgecrest Field Office, while the BLM’s Barstow Field Office administers most of the remainder. The BLM’s Needles and Palm Springs Field Offices administer very small acreages within the WEMO Project planning area. The 1980 CDCA Plan included 12 plan elements for managing over 25 million acres of public land resources and resource uses in southern California, including a Motorized Vehicle Access Element. The Motorized Vehicle Access Element identified management guidelines and objectives for access and vehicular use in the CDCA. Amended numerous times after adopted, BLM approved a comprehensive amendment to the 1980 CDCA Plan in 2006. The 2006 WEMO Record of Decision (ROD) approved the amendment modifying the motorized vehicle management decisions in the WEMO planning area of the CDCA, designating 5,098 miles of motorized vehicle routes without changing the language in the 1980 CDCA Plan. The CDCA Plan contains language that has been judicially determined to restrict motorized routes to those that existed in 1980. A lawsuit challenged the 2006 WEMO ROD’s route designation process and in January 2011, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California remanded in part the 2006 WEMO ROD to the BLM. The Court directed BLM to amend the CDCA Plan and revise its decision on route designation in the WEMO area by March 13, 2014. The WEMO Project will look at alternatives for amending the Motorized Vehicle Access Element of the CDCA Plan and alternative processes for route designation in eight Travel Management Areas (TMAs). Updated language in the Motorized Vehicle Access Element will more clearly describe management of motorized vehicle use in the planning area. Ultimately, the BLM will develop an EIS to amend the CDCA Plan and eight travel management plans for each of the TMAs, which will address the travel needs for all resource management programs on BLM-administered land. Table 1 lists the subregions and identifies the general location of the eight TMAs (Map 2) that will be addressed in this effort.

  • Welcome to the 27Th Annual Wildflower Hotline, Brought to You by the Theodore Payne Foundation, a Non-Profit Plant Nursery, Seed
    Welcome back to the 28th Annual Wildflower Hotline, brought to you by the Theodore Payne Foundation, a non-profit plant nursery, seed source, book store and education center, dedicated to the preservation of wildflowers and California native plants. The glory of spring has really kicked into high gear as many deserts, canyons, parks, and natural areas are ablaze of color – so get out there and enjoy the beauty of California wildflowers. This week we begin at the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument in Palm Desert, where the Randall Henderson and Art Smith Trails are ablaze with beavertail cactus (Opuntia basilaris), Arizona lupine (Lupinus arizonicus), little gold poppy (Eschscholzia minutiflora), chuparosa (Justicia californica), brittlebush (Encelia farinosa), desert lavender (Hyptis emoryi), wild heliotrope (Phacelia distans), and apricot mallow (Sphaeralcea ambigua). If you are heading to Palm Springs for the weekend, take a trip along Palm Canyon Dr. where the roadside is radiant with sand verbena (Abronia villosa), Fremont pincushion (Chaenactis fremontii), desert dandelion (Malacothrix glabrata), forget-me-not (Cryptantha sp.), Spanish needle (Palafoxia arida), Arizona Lupine (Lupinus arizonicus), and creosote bush (Larrea tridentata). While in the area check out Tahquitz Canyon, in the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation, off West Mesquite Ave., which is still decorated with desert dandelion (Malacothrix glabrata), pymy golden poppy (Eschscholzia minutiflora), white fiesta flower (Pholistoma membranaceum), California sun cup (Camissonia californica), brown-eyed primrose (Camissonia claviformis), and more. NOTE: This is a 2-mile loop trail that requires some scrambling over rocks. Just north of I-10, off Varner Road, Edom Hill is a carpet of color with Arizona lupine (Lupinus arizonicus), sand verbena (Abronia villosa), Fremont pincushion (Chaenactis fremontii), and croton (Croton californicus), along with a sprinkling of desert sunflower (Geraea canescens) and dyebush (Psorothamnus emoryi).

  • Appendix D Building Descriptions and Climate Zones
    Appendix D Building Descriptions and Climate Zones APPENDIX D: Building Descriptions The purpose of the Building Descriptions is to assist the user in selecting an appropriate type of building when using the Air Conditioning estimating tools. The selected building type should be the one that most closely matches the actual project. These summaries provide the user with the inputs for the typical buildings. Minor variations from these inputs will occur based on differences in building vintage and climate zone. The Building Descriptions are referenced from the 2004-2005 Database for Energy Efficiency Resources (DEER) Update Study. It should be noted that the user is required to provide certain inputs for the user’s specific building (e.g. actual conditioned area, city, operating hours, economy cycle, new AC system and new AC system efficiency). The remaining inputs are approximations of the building and are deemed acceptable to the user. If none of the typical building models are determined to be a fair approximation then the user has the option to use the Custom Building approach. The Custom Building option instructs the user how to initiate the Engage Software. The Engage Software is a stand-alone, DOE2 based modeling program.

The photographs date from 1864 to 1963 (bulk 1920s-1950s) and depict buildings, monuments, civic happenings, modes of transportation, flora and fauna, and anything else that captured his particular interests. Puck compiled several scrapbooks on topics such as adobes and buildings of Los Angeles, illustrating them with his photographs and annotating them with historical anecdotes and personal recollections.

    APPENDIX B SUMMARY OF NEPA PROCESS FOR WMRNP WEST MOJAVE (WEMO) ROUTE NETWORK PROJECT SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Appendix B Summary of NEPA Process for WMRNP B.1 Notice of Intent The impact analyses are based on the Applicant’s description of their proposed Project, and that description includes, for some The planning process was initiated by a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement and Proposed Plan Amendment to the 2006 WEMO Plan that was published in the Federal Register on September 13, 2011, and clarified on May 2, 2013. The clarified NOI served as notification of the intent to prepare an EIS as required in 40 CFR 1501.7, as well as of potential amendment to the CDCA Plan. The NOI served to indicate the planning- level vs non-planning level decisions, and to clarify that the plan amendment would be an EIS- level amendment, and requested comments on relevant issues, National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) (16 U.S.C. 470(f) concerns, and initial planning criteria for the plan amendment. The NOI indicated that the Proposed Plan Amendment and SEIS would consider the following: Amend the Motorized-Vehicle Access (MVA) Element of the CDCA Plan to modify the language regarding the process for designating routes in the West Mojave Planning Area; Reconsider other MVA Element land-use-planning level guidance for the West Mojave Planning Area; Revisit the route designation process for the West Mojave Planning Area; Clarify the West Mojave Planning Area inventory for route designation and analysis; Establish a route network in the Planning Area consistent with current guidance and new information; Adopt travel management areas (TMAs) to facilitate implementation of the West Mojave route network; Provide or modify network-wide and TMA-specific activity-plan level minimization, mitigation, and other implementation strategies for the West Mojave Planning Area; and Respond to specific issues related to the US District Court WEMO Summary Judgment and Remedy Orders.
