The surface impoundments are situated in the midst of the 2600-acre site which is located in the Simi Hills of southeastern Ventura County . It is about 29 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles . The nearest communities are in the Simi Valley , about 3 miles north of the site, and east of the Sa n Fernando Valley , via Woolsey Canyon Road to the flatlands below . DEMOGRAPH Y Approximately thirty thousand people live within a five -mile radius of the SSFL facility, and the nearest resident lives within a mile . LAND USE The SSFL site is located at the west end of the San Fernando Valley . The Valley has been intensely farmed since the Los Angeles Aqueduct was completed from Big Pine in 1913 . The abundant irrigation water provided by the aqueduct was at first used primarily for citrus orchards and truck farms . According to a vegetation map drawn in 1931 of western Los Angeles County and southeastern Ventura County ( Fig . 2 .4 ), the area at that time consisted of about 31% farm and urban land .

E1907453), BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES (SITE FLORA AND HABITAT) EVALUATION. As requested, a floristic survey was performed at the above-captioned project site, and potential impacts to biological resources were evaluated. The Gaffey Pool Project site was visited on August 27, 2013 and August 30, 2013. A list of species was compiled for the existing pool and adjacent areas (Table I). The purpose of this survey was to provide a record of existing vascular plant species, and characterize their vegetation community, which may be affected. All vascular plant species were recorded, and California native plant species noted, within the project site. The study area was divided into two subareas: 1) enclosed pool area: and, (2) the adjacent area, surrounding the pool. The project site is located on the site of the former Fort MacArthur. The pool was constructed in 1943 on a north-facing slope above Gaffey Street, and facing San Pedro Harbor. Vegetation consists of mostly non-native landscaping, consisting of (mature and sapling) trees, with an understory of non-native shrubs, perennials and annual species. Nomenclature followed Munz (1974) and Baldwin, et al. (2012). Other references – CALFLORA (2013), Consortium of California Herbaria (2012), Gales (1974), Lipman, et al.

Although no new programs were initiated during the year, current ones were pursued vigorously. The youth education program perhaps experienced the greatest growth. For the first time in many years visitor attendance was down, with 55,373 passing the turnstile in 1967 compared with 57, 541 in 1966. This was unfortunate because rainfall was well above average for the year and as a result the grounds were more attractive than they had been at any time since we moved to Clare­ mont in 1951. From an analysis of the weekly attendance figures, it would appear that temperature may be the single most important factor governing visitor attendance. The first three months of the year had temperatures above normal and the number of visitors recorded was well ahead of the previous year. April, May and June, months normally with the largest number of visitors, had average temperatures as much as 7.7° F below normal with periods of heavy rain.

Plans are published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and others. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views nor the official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation other than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. They represent the official position of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service only after they have been signed by the California/Nevada Operations Manager, Regional Director, or Director as approved. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks.
