  • Across the Western Landscape: Priority Issues and Strategies for Western Forests
    Across the Western Landscape: Priority Issues and Strategies for Western Forests EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The forests of the West contain an incredible assemblage of resources. They cover approximately 365 million acres, 49 percent of the nation’s total forested area, and are managed by a diverse set of owners. Threats facing western forests affect all lands and all people, compromising the basic assets we need and often take for granted such as: clean air, abundant water, safe communities, open spaces, and economic opportunities. Cooperation and coordination across jurisdictional boundaries are needed to address these threats. The Western Forestry Leadership Coalition (WFLC) represents a unique partnership between state and federal government forestry leaders and supports a collaborative approach to sustainable forest management. All U.S. states and Affiliated Islands have completed assessments of their forest resources and developed strategies for the conservation, protection, About the Western Forestry and enhancement of those resources. These Statewide Forest Resource Leadership Coalition Assessments and Strategies (Forest Action Plans) provide a long-term roadmap The Western Forestry Leadership for forest restoration and management. Across the Western Landscape: Priority Coalition (WFLC) is a State and Issues and Strategies for Western Forests is a 23-page publication providing the Federal government partnership. highlights from a synthesis of the western states’ and Pacific Islands’ Forest The members of the coalition Action Plans.

  • EPA Progress Report 2002: Pacific Southwest Region
    EPA Progress Report 2002 Pacific Southwest Region U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Pacific Southwest / Region 9 EPA–909–R–02–001 Dear Readers, Growing up in Southern California, I learned early in life about the human cost of an unhealthy environment. The brown cloud that covered the Los Angeles Basin for too many days each summer affected everyone who worked and played there. But over the years I’ve also watched the skies grow clearer and smog alerts become a thing of the past. In 2001, the Los Angeles area met national health standards nine out of every ten days — the cleanest year since smog measurements began over 40 years ago. While there is much more work to be done, we’ve come a long way. I am honored to introduce this EPA Progress Report, the first that we have issued since I joined EPA as Regional Administrator in October 2001. The past year’s accomplishments are full of promise for meeting the public health and environmental chal­ lenges we face in the Pacific Southwest, and I am eager to to continue our progress in this important mission. EPA’s Pacific Southwest Region is truly diverse, encompassing the states of Arizona, California, Hawaii and Nevada; 147 tribal nations and communities; and Pacific islands such as American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. The problems we confront here are complex, interconnected, and resistant to traditional solutions. As we move to meet these challenges, we are fortunate both in our own strengths and in the capacity and will of our partners — the states, tribes, industry and the environmental advocacy communities.

  • 2013. “Unique Challenges Facing Southwestern Tribes
    Chapter 17 Unique Challenges Facing Southwestern Tribes COORDINATING LEAD AUTHOR Margaret Hiza Redsteer (U.S. Geological Survey) LEAD AUTHORS Kirk Bemis (Zuni Tribe Water Resources Program), Karletta Chief (University of Arizona), Mahesh Gautam (Desert Research Institute), Beth Rose Middleton (University of California, Davis), Rebecca Tsosie (Arizona State University) REVIEW EDITOR Daniel B. Ferguson (University of Arizona) Executive Summary When considering climate change, risks to Native American lands, people, and cultures are noteworthy. Impacts on Native lands and communities are anticipated to be both early and severe due to their location in marginal environments. Because Native Ameri- can societies are socially, culturally, and politically unique, conventional climate change adaptation planning and related policies could result in unintended consequences or conflicts with Native American governments, or could prove to be inadequate if tribal consultation is not considered. Therefore, it is important to understand the distinct his- torical, legal, and economic contexts of the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of South- western Native American communities. The key messages presented in this chapter are: • Vulnerability of Southwestern tribes is higher than that for most groups because it is closely linked to endangered cultural practices, history, water rights, and Chapter citation: Redsteer, M.

January 21, 1964 8URE#U OF RECLAMATlON The Secretary LOWER COLORAOO REGION LIBRARY of the Int,erior Sir: On November 6, 1963, you directed me to supervise the preparation of a revised report to the President and the Congress proposing, on a regional basis, a plan of action designed to deal constructively with the acute water problems of the Pacific Southwest. The attached report of the Commissioner of Reclamation, in which I concur, was prepared under my direction. As you directed, we have been responsive to the views of the affected States, wherever possible. We have maintained coordination with other divisions of the Department, and considered the views of other Federal agencies. The report outlines a plan of action designed to meet the immediate and long-range water needs of the Pacific Southwest, defined in this report as the water service area of the Lower Colorado River Basin including southern California. It presents an initial plan for approval. We recommend prompt authorization of those features of the initial plan for which adequate engineering and economic investi- gations have been completed. Approval of the basic plan and authorization pf the recommended features will start the Pacific Southwest on the road back to water sufficiency. In 1930 the population of the Pacific Southwest was 3-1/2 million. In 1960 it had grown to 10-1/2 million.

    Donna Boggs From: California Grain and Feed Association <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 7, 2020 7:01 AM To: Donna Boggs Subject: The Latest News for You April 7, 2020 Cal-OSHA Issues Updated Safety and Health Guidance Over the weekend the California Department of Industrial Relations Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal-OSHA) issued updated Safety and Health Guidance for use by agricultural employers and employees to prevent infection of COVID-19. The guidance does not introduce any new legal obligations, but because COVID-19 is widespread in the community, most California workplaces must consider the disease a workplace hazard. Several links to informational information and Q&A are included in the document. Agricultural workers who normally wear Person Protection Equipment (PPEs) are expected to continue this practice. We received a list of suppliers of PPE from the California Department of Food and Agriculture which you can access here. As always, CGFA will continue to update information as we receive it. Tips for Using N95 Respirators or Other Alternatives Many feed manufacturing facilities may suddenly find it difficult to obtain N95 respirators due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak. N95 disposable respirators are commonly used in our industry to protect the health of employees handling hazardous materials. As the country is facing a temporary shortage of supply, the American Feed Industry Association is providing reminders on using respirators at your facility and also suggestions on other alternatives that exist that may fulfill your business needs. Below is a quick checklist on important things to keep in mind when using any kind of respirators in your facility.

    EPA PROGRESS REPORT 2012 PACIFIC SOUTHWEST REGION U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Environmental Protection U.S. Pacific Southwest/Region 9 Pacific From the Regional Administrator Dear Readers, Over the past year, I've seen many of the remarkable environmental successes EPA and our federal, state, local and tribal partners have accomplished across the Pacific Southwest. These projects include building safe drinking water and wastewater infrastructure for Indian tribes, cleanups of toxic mine waste, solar-powered treatment of contaminated groundwater, and cleaner diesel engines in Los Angeles and the San Joaquin Valley. We finalized California's No-Discharge Zone, which protects offshore waters by prohibiting the dumping of sewage by oceangoing vessels. And our enforcement actions in the Pacific Southwest last year will result in almost $4 billion in environmental improvements. Meanwhile, air quality continues to improve in our urban areas. We’re working with state agencies to control pollution in hundreds of water bodies. Sixty-one federal facilities have accepted our challenge to reduce their environmental footprints. We're also proud to be part of the White House Council on Strong Cities, Strong Communities (SC2), collaborating with other agencies and city officials to spur economic development in urban areas like Fresno. We invite you to learn more about our regional priorities at www.epa.gov/region9/strategicplan.

  • 2019 SCIENCE SPOTLIGHT Pacific Southwest Research Station
    United States Department of Agriculture 2019 SCIENCE SPOTLIGHT Pacific Southwest Research Station Science That Makes A Difference Forest Service Message from the Director The Pacific Southwest Research Station is a leading forest research organization, conducting work at the national and international levels, and turning contributions into real benefits to the public and for the environment. A century of fire suppression and forest management practices, coupled with an increase in human population, an expanding wildland-urban interface, and anthropogenic climate change, have altered forest composition and hydrologic systems here in California and Hawaii. Federal, state, and private owners of forested land face a range of urgent challenges, among them catastrophic wildfires, invasive species, degraded watersheds, loss of biodiversity, and epidemics of forest insects and disease. Our research is conducted to advance knowledge and enhance land management in five areas: (1) fire and fuels, (2) forest management and silviculture, (3) forest health and biodiversity, (4) water yield and predictability, and (5) socioeconomics and uses of public lands. We are highlighting here just a few of our research findings and invite you to visit our website (www.fs.fed.us/psw) and learn more about our latest research, discoveries, and tools. Our focus as we move into the new year is to build our capacity and add to our research arsenal of people and programs that will help yield solutions for the establishment and maintenance of healthy, sustainable, and resilient forests and grasslands. My sincere gratitude to the Pacific Southwest Research Station staff who work tirelessly to conduct and support stellar research. My thanks to all our partners and collaborators who bring so much value and meaning to our work.
