  • Center Comments to the California Department of Fish and Game
    July 24, 2006 Ryan Broderick, Director California Department of Fish and Game 1416 Ninth Street, 12th Floor Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: Improving efficiency of California’s fish hatchery system Dear Director Broderick: On behalf of the Pacific Rivers Council and Center for Biological Diversity, we are writing to express our concerns about the state’s fish hatchery and stocking system and to recommend needed changes that will ensure that the system does not negatively impact California’s native biological diversity. This letter is an update to our letter of August 31, 2005. With this letter, we are enclosing many of the scientific studies we relied on in developing this letter. Fish hatcheries and the stocking of fish into lakes and streams cause numerous measurable, significant environmental effects on California ecosystems. Based on these impacts, numerous policy changes are needed to ensure that the Department of Fish and Game’s (“DFG”) operation of the state’s hatchery and stocking program do not adversely affect California’s environment. Further, as currently operated, the state’s hatchery and stocking program do not comply with the California Environmental Quality Act, Administrative Procedures Act, California Endangered Species Act, and federal Endangered Species Act. The impacts to California’s environment, and needed policy changes to bring the state’s hatchery and stocking program into compliance with applicable state and federal laws, are described below. I. FISH STOCKING NEGATIVELY IMPACTS CALIFORNIA’S NATIVE SALMONIDS, INCLUDING THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES Introduced salmonids negatively impact native salmonids in a variety of ways. Moyle, et. al. (1996) notes that “Introduction of non-native fish species has also been the single biggest factor associated with fish declines in the Sierra Nevada.” Moyle also notes that introduced species are contributing to the decline of 18 species of native Sierra Nevada fish species, and are a major factor in the decline of eight of those species.

We also wish to express our appreciation to Doug DeNio, National Park Service (retired), and Fred Bloom, formerly Tonto National Forest, for their commitment and enthusiasm in setting the groundwork that allowed this effort to go forward. Gabriella Cisneros and Vern Risser of the Southwest Technology Development Institute helped develop the project information database. Anne Van Arsdall and Connie Brooks, Sandia National Laboratories, provided significant editorial assistance and Subia was responsible for the publication design. Our biggest thanks, however, goes to the many Park, BLM, and Forest participants who chose to get involved in using photovoltaics and to the U.S. photovoltaics industry who provided the quality systems that made this endeavor successful.

  • LTBMU Final Pre-Scoping Comments
    May 2, 2016 Jeff Marsolais Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit 35 College Drive South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 Submitted via email to [email protected] Re: Pre-Scoping Comments on Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit Over-Snow Vehicle Use Designation Dear Jeff and the OSV planning team, Thank you for the opportunity to provide pre-scoping comments on the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit’s Over-Snow Vehicle planning process. Thank you in advance for your consideration and for the hard work we know this process entails. Winter Wildlands Alliance (WWA) is an Idaho-based nonprofit organization representing the interests of human-powered winter recreationists across the U.S. and an official partner of the US Forest Service. Our mission is to promote and preserve winter wildlands and a quality human-powered snowsports experience on public lands, as well as to improve public education and outreach concerning wild winter landscapes. WWA represents over 50,000 members and 40 grassroots partner organizations in 11 states, including California-based Snowlands Network and the Tahoe Backcountry Alliance. Many of WWA’s members use the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit (LTBMU) for Nordic and backcountry skiing, snowshoeing, climbing, mountaineering, and winter hiking. Many of our members also use OSVs. Starting in 2012 we have worked with Snowlands Network to advocate for winter travel planning on the LTBMU and we are glad to see the LTBMU undertaking this process. Given that there have been several years of conversations and attempted collaborative efforts focused on winter travel planning on this forest, we expect that the proposed action will reflect many of the issues and suggestions that have been raised in relation to this issue in the past.

  • Lake Tahoe West Update
    LAKE TAHOE WEST LANDSCAPE RESTORATION STRATEGY AUGUST 2019 Lake Tahoe’s west shore is one of America’s treasured landscapes, with towering forests, clear blue lakes, and snow- covered alpine peaks. Yet wildfire, drought, insect outbreaks, and flooding—all amplified by climate change—threaten this 60,000-acre landscape. The Lake Tahoe West Restoration Partnership (Lake Tahoe West) is changing this. By pooling resources and collaborating across jurisdictions, Lake Tahoe West is taking an all lands approach to restoring the resilience of the west shore to disturbance. This includes the forests, communities, recreational opportunities, and watersheds that stretch from the shoreline all the way to the ridgetops, from Emerald Bay north to Tahoe City. As described in the Lake Tahoe West Landscape Resilience Assessment (2017), west shore forests are Lake Tahoe West will: overly dense, uniform, and susceptible to high severity fire, especially in lower elevations and canyons.
