  • Upper Newport Bay Ecosystem Restoration Project
    Upper Newport Bay Ecosystem Restoration Project Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1. Why is the project necessary? Upper Newport Bay is one of the last remaining coastal wetlands in southern California, and continues to play a significant role in providing critical habitat for a variety of migratory waterfowl, shorebirds and endangered species of birds and plants. Bay sedimentation has significantly increased in the last several decades due to rapid urbanization of the watershed. As a result, open water areas are disappearing in the bay, tidal circulation has diminished and shoaling is occurring within the Federal and local navigation channels and slips. Upstream efforts to control sediment inputs to the Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve and within-Bay dredging projects have not been completely effective. A primary objective of this project is to effect management of sediments deposited within the bay, with the objective of reducing the frequency of dredging projects while also enhancing habitat values within the upper bay and slowing the detrimental impacts of sediment accumulation on the fish and wildlife habitats. 2. What are the benefits of the project? The Upper Newport Bay restoration project will allow for a reduced frequency of maintenance dredging; improve or restore estuarine habitats; sustain a mix of open water, mudflat and marsh habitat; increase tidal circulation for water quality; reduce predator access to sensitive habitats; improve public use and recreational access; and improve educational opportunities. 3.

  • Final Report
    Final Report Final pre-release investigations of the gorse thrips (Sericothrips staphylinus) as a biocontrol agent for gorse (Ulex europaeus) in North America Date: August 31, 2012 Award Number: 10-CA-11420004-184 Report Period: June 1, 2010– May 31, 2012 Project Period: June 1, 2010– May 31, 2012 Recipient: Oregon State University Recipient Contact Person: Fritzi Grevstad Principal Investigator/ Project Director: Fritzi Grevstad Introduction Gorse (Ulex europaeus) is an environmental weed classified as noxious in the states of Washington, Oregon, California, and Hawaii. A classical biological control program has been applied in Hawaii with the introduction of 4 gorse-feeding arthropods, but only two of these (a mite and a seed weevil) have been introduced to the mainland U.S. The two insects that have not yet been introduced include the gorse thrips, Sericothips staphylinus (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), and the moth Agonopterix umbellana (Lepidoptera: Oecophoridae). With prior support from the U.S. Forest Service (joint venture agreement # 07-JV-281), we were able to complete host specificity testing of S. staphylinus on 44 North American plant species that were on the original test plant list. However, following review of the proposed Test Plant List, the Technical Advisory Group on Biocontrol of Weeds (TAG) recommended that we include an additional 18 plant species for testing. In this report, we present host specificity testing and related objectives necessary to bring the program to the implementation stage. Objectives (1) Acquire and grow the additional 18 species of plants recommended by the TAG. (2) Complete host specificity trials for the gorse thrips on the 18 plant species.

  • NOTES TWO RECENT RECORDS of the CLAPPER RAIL from the BALLONA WETLANDS, LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA Daniel S
    NOTES TWO RECENT RECORDS OF THE CLAPPER RAIL FROM THE BALLONA WETLANDS, LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA DANIEL S. COOPER, Cooper Ecological Monitoring, Inc., 5850 W. 3rd St., #167, Los Angeles, California 90036; [email protected] I report on two recent records of the Clapper Rail (Rallus longirostris) from the Ballona Wetlands at Playa del Rey in Los Angeles County, including the first well- documented report in in the county over 40 years, from a site where a population persisted into the 1950s. On 25 August 2008, two biological consultants (A. Gutierrez and R. Woodfield, with Merkel and Associates, San Diego) sampling fish in a tidal chan- nel at the Ballona Wetlands just south of Ballona Creek spotted a bird they suspected was a Clapper Rail. On 21 January 2010 Gutierrez wrote to me, “on August 25, 2008 a Light-footed Clapper Rail was observed foraging along the eastern waterline of a channel in the pickleweed of the Ballona Wetlands. The observation occurred at 11:30 A.M. on a clear day, with no wind, a temperature of 70 °F, and during a low tide of 3.2 ft mean lower low water. Although it was a low tide, the water level was fairly high due to the tide being subject to muting and lag from the presence of tide gates at the Ballona Wetland. The Clapper Rail walked the edge of the high waterline from south to north and then back to the south, weaving through the pickleweed. After approximately 5 minutes, the Clapper Rail flew to the west shore of the channel and proceeded out of sight into the dense pickleweed.” Fortunately, (using a cell phone) Woodfield took a photograph (Figure 1) showing an unmistakable image of a Clapper Rail.

  • 3.4 Biological Resources
    3.4 Biological Resources 3.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 3.4.1 Introduction This section evaluates the potential for implementation of the Proposed Project to have impacts on biological resources, including sensitive plants, animals, and habitats. The Notice of Preparation (NOP) (Appendix A) identified the potential for impacts associated to candidate, sensitive, or special status species (as defined in Section 3.4.6 below), sensitive natural communities, jurisdictional waters of the United States, wildlife corridors or other significant migratory pathway, and a potential to conflict with local policies and ordinances protecting biological resources. Data used to prepare this section were taken from the Orange County General Plan, the City of Lake Forest General Plan, Lake Forest Municipal Code, field observations, and other sources, referenced within this section, for background information. Full bibliographic references are noted in Section 3.4.12 (References). No comments with respect to biological resources were received during the NOP comment period. The Proposed Project includes a General Plan Amendment (GPA) and zone change for development of Sites 1 to 6 and creation of public facilities overlay on Site 7. 3.4.2 Environmental Setting Regional Characteristics The City of Lake Forest, with a population of approximately 77,700 as of January 2004, is an area of 16.6 square miles located in the heart of South Orange County and Saddleback Valley, between the coastal floodplain and the Santa Ana Mountains (see Figure 2-1, Regional Location). The western portion of the City is near sea level, while the northeastern portion reaches elevations of up to 1,500 feet.

The Project proposes construction and operation of approximately 274,190 square feet of light industrial/warehouse uses within an approximately 11.80-acre site (gross), located within the Mead Valley area of Riverside County. This IS/MND was prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15070 et seq. Although this IS/MND was prepared with consultant support, all analysis, conclusions, findings and determinations presented in the IS/MND fully represent the independent judgment and position of the County of Riverside (County), acting as Lead Agency under CEQA. In accordance with the provisions of CEQA, as the Lead Agency, the County is solely responsible for approval of the Project. As part of the decision-making process, the County is required to review and consider the Project’s potential environmental effects. CEQA Guidelines Article 61 discusses the Mitigated Negative Declaration Process, which is applicable to the Project. Article 6 states in pertinent part: “A public agency shall prepare or have prepared a proposed negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration for a project subject to CEQA when: 1 Title 14.
