  • Index of Surface-Water Records
    GEOLOGICAL SURVEY CIRCULAR 72 January 1950 INDEX OF SURFACE-WATER RECORDS PART 11.PPACIFIC SLOPE BASINS IN CALIFORNIA TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1948 Prepared by San Francisco District UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Oscar L. Chapman, Secretary GEOLOGICAL SURVEY W. E. Wrather, Director WASHINGTON, D. C. Free on application to the Director, Geological Survey, Washington 26, D. C. INDEX OF SURFACE-WATER RECORDS PART 11.PPACIFIC SLOPE BASINS IN CALIFORNIA TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1948 EXPLANATION The index lists the stream-flow ana reservoir stations in the Pacific Slope Basins in California for which records have been or are to be pub­ lished for periods prior to September 30, 1948. The stations are listed in downstream order. Tributary streams are indicated by indention. Station names are given in their most recently published forms. Paren­ theses around part of a station name indicate that the enclosed word or words were used in an earlier published name of the station or in a name under which records were published by some agency other than the Geological Survey. The drainage areas, in square miles, are the latest figures published or otherwise available at this time. Drainage areas that were obviously inconsistent with other drainage areas on the same stream have been omitted. Some drainage areas not published by the Geological Survey are listed with an appropriate footnote stating the published source of the figure of drainage area. Under "period of record" breaks of less than a 12-month period are not shown. A dash not followed immediately by a closing date shows that the station was in operation on September 30, 1948.

  • Los Angeles County
    Steelhead/rainbow trout resources of Los Angeles County Arroyo Sequit Arroyo Sequit consists of about 3.3 stream miles. The arroyo is formed by the confluence of the East and West forks, from where it flows south to enter the Pacific Ocean east of Sequit Point. As part of a survey of 32 southern coastal watersheds, Arroyo Sequit was surveyed in 1979. The O. mykiss sampled were between about two and 6.5 inches in length. The survey report states, “Historically, small steelhead runs have been reported in this area” (DFG 1980). It also recommends, “…future upstream water demands and construction should be reviewed to insure that riparian and aquatic habitats are maintained” (DFG 1980). Arroyo Sequit was surveyed in 1989-1990 as part of a study of six streams originating in the Santa Monta Mountains. The resulting report indicates the presence of steelhead and states, “Low streamflows are presently limiting fish habitat, particularly adult habitat, and potential fish passage problems exist…” (Keegan 1990a, p. 3-4). Staff from DFG surveyed Arroyo Sequit in 1993 and captured O. mykiss, taking scale and fin samples for analysis. The individuals ranged in length between about 7.7 and 11.6 inches (DFG 1993). As reported in a distribution study, a 15-17 inch trout was observed in March 2000 in Arroyo Sequit (Dagit 2005). Staff from NMFS surveyed Arroyo Sequit in 2002 as part of a study of steelhead distribution. An adult steelhead was observed during sampling (NMFS 2002a). Additional documentation of steelhead using the creek between 2000-2007 was provided by Dagit et al.

  • Reservoir Sedimentation and Water Supply Reliability By: Aubrey Mescher, MESM Ms
    Reservoir Sedimentation and Water Supply Reliability By: Aubrey Mescher, MESM Ms. Mescher is a water resources specialist at Aspen’s Agoura Hills headquarters office. Our reservoirs are filling with sediment. That’s the same as dirt. Mud, muck, silt. Rocks, gravel, even boulders. All of this stuff where there’s supposed to be just water. Water for drinking, irrigation, recreation, commercial and industrial uses, flood control, and groundwater recharge. This isn’t a new issue. Actually, reservoirs are assumed to have a finite lifetime, limited by loss of function due to sedimentation. But reservoirs are filling with sediment far more quickly than anticipated, and important water supply and flood control facilities are not only being rendered useless before their time, but in doing so they are simultaneously introducing new issues with public safety and water supply reliability. What is sedimentation? Sedimentation is a natural process that occurs when soil particles suspended in water settle out of the main water column to the bottom. Sediment content in a waterway is higher during and after storm events, when rates of flow and erosion are higher, and lower during dry months, when these rates tend to be lower. Under natural conditions, unconstrained by a dam, the quantity of water and sediment in a waterway is generally balanced, as the ground surface and riverbed erode into the waterway, and sediment is deposited in downstream areas, where it provides habitat and replenishes riverbanks and beaches. But when a dam is constructed in a waterway, it traps the flow of both water and sediment. The sediment gradually accumulates behind the dam, larger particles such as rocks and gravel settling to the reservoir floor while the spaces in between fill with finer material such as silt and mud.

  • City of Azusa Local Hazard Mitigation Plan October 2018
    City of Azusa Local Hazard Mitigation Plan October 2018 Executive Summary The City of Azusa prepared this Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) to guide hazard mitigation planning to better protect the people and property of the City from the effects of natural disasters and hazard events. This plan demonstrates the community’s commitment to reducing risks from hazards and serves as a tool to help decision makers direct mitigation activities and resources. This plan was also developed in order for the City to be eligible for certain federal disaster assistance, specifically, the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Program, and the Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) Program. Each year in the United States, natural disasters take the lives of hundreds of people and injure thousands more. Nationwide, taxpayers pay billions of dollars annually to help communities, organizations, businesses, and individuals recover from disasters. These monies only partially reflect the true cost of disasters, because additional expenses to insurance companies and nongovernmental organizations are not reimbursed by tax dollars. Many natural disasters are predictable, and much of the damage caused by these events can be alleviated or even eliminated. The purpose of hazard mitigation is to reduce or eliminate long- term risk to people and property from hazards LHMP Plan Development Process Hazard mitigation planning is the process through which hazards that threaten communities are identified, likely impacts determined, mitigation goals set, and appropriate mitigation strategies determined, prioritized, and implemented. This plan documents the hazard mitigation planning process and identifies relevant hazards and vulnerabilities and strategies the City will use to decrease vulnerability and increase resiliency and sustainability in the community.

  • Chapter 8: Safety Element Arcadia General Plan
    Chapter 8: Safety Element Arcadia General Plan 8 x Introduction Community safety issues influence many decisions people make, from big decisions such as where to live or spend leisure time, to small decisions, such as identifying the time of day they feel comfortable walking alone. When thinking about where to buy a home, people may consider whether a hillside location near a wildfire zone is of concern. In its budgeting decisions, elected bodies allocate funds to fire and law enforcement services commensurate with overall public safety objectives. Critical to these decision processes is knowing the hazards present in a community and establishing safety standards. By identifying threats to our safety, we can better guard against disasters and develop effective response plans. This Safety Element identifies, evaluates, and addresses local and regional safety issues, and establishes the goals, policies, and actions that will help reduce loss of life, injuries, property loss, environmental damage, and social and economic disruption from natural and human-caused disasters. These issues are addressed within the context of: Environmental Hazards Emergency Services Human-Caused Hazards Emergency Preparedness Threats to National Security Arcadia General Plan - November 2010 Safety | 8-1 The goals, policies, and programs in this element are shaped around three approaches that are integral to Arcadia’s plan for a safe community: 1) avoiding hazards and threats through careful planning, 2) being prepared to respond to any and all crisis situations to minimize injury or loss, 3) educating the public of best safety practices so that the community does its part to improve public safety. Achieving Our Vision Residents and businesses look to the City to protect the community from threats to public safety.
