BOC Situation Report 7.29 PM BUSINESS OPERATION CENTER SITUATION REPORT 7/29 /18 1900H STATEWIDE WEATHER SYNOPSIS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA Weather of Concern • Heat continues to linger over northwest California mainly with the valleys of Trinity and Mendocino counties, having the hottest locations. • Hot weather will continue today over the entire San Joaquin Valley, Sierra Foothills (including the Ferguson Wildfire Operation Area), and the Kern County Desert. Strong high pressure will continue producing hot and dry conditions throughout Northern California through Tuesday, except along the immediate coast where the marine layer will keep conditions cool and humid. Winds aloft are light out of the SW, but at the surface local winds associated with the thermal low and the sea breeze are making it difficult to control ongoing wildfires. Thick smoke from the ongoing wildfires is trapped under the high pressure in many areas, and this holds temperatures down and weakens the effect of the inland thermal low. Each day through Tuesday, from the late afternoon hours until late evening, SW to NW winds will gust to 15-25 mph through the gaps and passes in the coastal mountains into the west side of the Sacramento Valley. Inland overnight RH recovery will be only to 25-40%. These winds gradually weaken from midnight until sunrise, then start up again in 2 the afternoon. Inland temperatures will peak at 4-7 degrees above normal with minimum RH 5-15% in the driest areas. Areas with thick smoke will see temperatures closer to seasonal averages. On Monday and Tuesday, the high will shift a bit east and the SW flow aloft will become a bit stronger. It is unlikely that winds will be strong enough to disperse the smoke much, however. The marine layer will move a bit farther inland Monday and Tuesday. Isolated showers and thunderstorms may move up the Sierra from the south into our eastern areas Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday the high will weaken as a low pressure trough in the Pacific NW pushes south. A stronger westerly flow can be expected along with higher humidity, cooler temperatures and higher overnight RH recovery that will last into next weekend. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Weather of Concern • Prolonged periods of dangerously hot temperatures will occur. The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity combine to create a dangerous situation in which heat illnesses are likely • Hot and dry with poor overnight relative humidity (RH) recovery inland from the coast through Tuesday • SW-NW gusts 15-25 mph through coast range gaps and passes into Western Sacramento Valley from late afternoon until late evening daily through Tuesday Increasing wet thunderstorms across Southern California. Well above normal temperatures across inland areas this week. Lower afternoon RH over Central CA through Friday. The persistent high pressure ridge over the Southwest will edge a bit further eastward the next couple of days. This will allow easterly flow to develop, which will transport some monsoonal moisture into the Southern half of the district during the first half of the week. The deepest moisture is expected to remain south of the border, but this afternoon, isolated wet thunderstorms will be possible in the San Bernardino and Cleveland National Forests. One or two storms may occur along the Sierra Crest as well. Despite the increase in moisture, thunderstorm coverage is expected to be isolated due to a thick band of high clouds moving in from the east. Monday and Tuesday, storm coverage is expected to be greater and easterly steering winds may allow for some storms to reach the foothills and Inland Empire. This moisture will gradually retreat southward, resulting in fewer storms by Wednesday or Thursday. Temperatures will remain 5-10 degrees above normal throughout the week with highs in the upper 90s to 104 in the valleys and up to 118 in the low desert. Relative humidity will be high over Southern California, but some interior valleys of the central coast and Sierra Foothills may see readings in the 8- 15% range for a few hours each afternoon this week. Winds are expected to be light, except near thunderstorms. 3 INLAND REGION FIRES Ferguson, Vegetation Fire, Mariposa County Location: Hwy. 140 x Hite Cove, Near El Portal Jurisdiction: Federal DPA, FRA, Madera-Mariposa-Merced Unit/Sierra National Forest Start Date/Time: 07/13/18 at 2035 hours Per Cal OES Duty Officers and ICS-209 as of 07/29/18 at 0805 hours: • 53,646 acres, brush and timber, 30% contained • Expected Containment: 08/18/18 • Threatened Structures: 5,171 single residences, 3 multiple residences, 7 mixed commercial/residential, 20 non-residential commercial properties, and 35 other minor structures. • Destroyed Structures: 1 other minor structure • Unified Command with USFS, CAL FIRE and Mariposa County Sheriff • Park Service and Forest Service are in joint delegation\Moderate fire behavior with backing, flanking and group torching • Fire is burning in a high tree mortality area • 1 Firefighter fatality Proclamations • On 07/15/18, Mariposa County submitted a Proclamation of Local Emergency.

    • SECTION 11 Santa Ana Region 2019-2020 Monitoring Annual Report P8/235139 THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK SANTA ANA REGION 2019-2020 Monitoring Annual Report Executive Summary Strawberry Creek SMC Bioassessment Trend Site Monitoring was conducted by the Riverside County Watershed Protection Program during the 2019-2020 monitoring year to address the objectives of the Monitoring and Reporting Program (MRP) of the 2010 Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit. This report presents the results of this ninth year of monitoring under the MRP of the 2010 MS4 Permit. The MRP is limited to the area of Riverside County under Permittee jurisdiction within the Santa Ana River Watershed, referred to throughout this report as the Santa Ana Region or SAR. The climate of the SAR is SAR Boundary and Monitoring Sites Mediterranean, characterized by warm, dry summers and cool, rainy winters. Annual precipitation ranges from less than 10 inches in the alluvial valleys to over 36 inches in the mountains. In general, shading from the coastal western boundary of the Santa Ana Mountains translates to very little precipitation throughout valley areas of the inland SAR. Under natural conditions, the majority of streams in the SAR are ephemeral, meaning they are dry and only flowing during and immediately after rain. PERMITTEES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - SANTA ANA REGION MONITORING ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020 YEAR 1 MONITORING ANNUAL REPORT Monitoring and Assessment Requirements During the 2019-2020 monitoring year, the SAR Monitoring Program was implemented in accordance with the requirements of the 2010 MS4 Permit. All wet and dry weather monitoring components of the MS4 outfall monitoring program, receiving water monitoring program, and bioassessment monitoring (through participation in the Southern California Stormwater Monitoring Coalition [SMC] regional monitoring program) were completed.

  • Cranston Fire Reforestation Project: Purpose and Need and Proposed Action and Scoping Notice
    United States Forest San Bernardino National Forest PO Box 518 Department of Service San Jacinto Ranger District Idyllwild CA 92549 Agriculture 1-909-382-2921 (Voice) 1-951-659-2691 (Fax) Cranston Fire Reforestation Project: Purpose and Need and Proposed Action and Scoping Notice Purpose and Need The purpose of the project is to plant some of the lost forest area in non-Wilderness portions of the Cranston Fire footprint and establish forest cover on pre-fire forested lands with Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi) or Coulter pine (Pinus coulteri) in a mix representative of pre-fire conditions. The proposed project would plant pockets of forested area that burned at an intensity high enough to kill all, or almost all, the conifers present and areas of annual grass with or without non-sprouting shrubs to restore a conifer presence in portions of the footprint. Pockets dominated by sprouting shrubs, rock or completely barren soil would not be planted. A multi-spot planting approach would be used for Jeffrey pine to improve survival and establishment greater than the approximately 30 percent survival that was realized in reforestation of the Mountain Fire area. There are several reasons for which this project is needed. First is to replant pockets of forested areas comprised of Jeffrey and Coulter pine to help maintain forested stand presence in the Cranston Fire burn area and maintain a genetic and spatial pool from which our local species and forests will need to adapt to climate change. Also, the restoration of a conifer presence would improve the visual quality along State Route 74 and 243, which are the major recreation thoroughfares south of the town of Idyllwild, and it would reestablish hiding and thermal cover for deer and other wildlife, especially in the May Valley portion of the footprint where it was mostly destroyed.

A voluntary evacuation notice was in place Tuesday for Holy Fire burn areas that could be affected by rain this week in Riverside and Orange counties. (Photo by Mark Rightmire, Orange County Register/SCNG) Rainfall is expected throughout most of the rest of the week throughout Southern California. While that rain can provide a reprieve from dry weather, it also carries with it potential hazards. The National Weather Service in San Diego forecasted rainfall throughout Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties starting on Wednesday evening. The showers will be accompanied by 15-25 mph winds, with gusts up to 35 mph. The NWS said it expects the rain to clear out by Monday. Official forecasts from the NWS in Ventura and Los Angeles counties said rain is also expected to start in those areas Wednesday evening, with a brief halt to the rain on Friday. More showers should come on Saturday with the precipitation ending on Sunday.
