Box 942896 Sacramento, CA 94296-0001 June 2006 California Department of Parks and Recreation December 2003 © 2006 California State Parks California State Parks and Sinkyone Wilderness State Park are registered trademarks of the California Department of Parks and Recreation June 23, 2006 All Interested Agencies, Organizations, and Persons NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY SINKYONE WILDERNESS STATE PARK PRELIMINARY GENERAL PLAN/ DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT A Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been prepared by the California Department of Parks and Recreation (Department) for the Sinkyone Wilderness State Park Preliminary General Plan (General Plan). The Department is the lead agency, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), responsible for preparation of this document. Project Location: Sinkyone Wilderness State Park (Park) is located on the north coast of California in the northwest corner of Mendocino County and the southwest corner of Humboldt County. The Park extends for approximately 19 miles of coastline. Project Description: The project consists of the proposed approval of a General Plan for Sinkyone Wilderness State Park. The General Plan will guide future management direction at the Park over an approximate 20-year planning horizon. Upon approval of the Plan, large portions of the Park (approximately 7,100 acres) will be designated as state wilderness. The General Plan contains comprehensive and integrated sets of park-wide and management area-specific goals and guidelines for the long-term management of the Park. The goals and guidelines focus on the protection of sensitive resources, improvements to administration and operation of the Park, and balancing of visitor needs with the unique wilderness character of the Park. Two Park management areas are identified in the plan (Wilderness and Non-wilderness areas), encompassing the entire Park and providing detailed direction tailored to the particular environmental resource characteristics of each area. These two areas provide high-quality park experiences for visitors while enhancing and preserving features that make the Park a unique destination. A number of improvements are identified in the General Plan’s goals and guidelines. Summary of Impacts: The EIR provides a program-level analysis of the potential environmental impacts associated with implementation of the General Plan. No significant environmental impacts would occur as a result of the proposed project. Public Comment Period: The 45-day public comment period for the Draft EIR will begin on June 23, 2006 and end on August 7, 2006 (comment letters must be postmarked by August 7, 2006). An electronic copy of the Preliminary General Plan and Draft EIR will be posted on the Department’s website at: http://www.parks.ca.gov/default.asp?page_id=22578 Please submit comments in writing to the following address: California State Parks Northern Service Center Atten: Dave Keck One Capitol Mall, Suite 500 Sacramento, CA 95814 For park information, please contact: Liz Burko, Eel River Sector Superintendent 707-445-6547 Ext. 12 Copies of the Preliminary General Plan and Draft EIR will be available at the following locations: Needle Rock Visitor Center Standish-Hickey State Recreation Area Sinkyone Wilderness State Park Information Kiosk Briceland Road 69350 U.S. Highway 101, Box #2 Whitethorn, CA 95589 Leggett, CA 95455 Richardson Grove Interpretive Assoc.

PARRISH, Ph.D., STATE GEOLOGIST DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION – DAVID BUNN, DIRECTOR PLATE 1 The rugged cliffs of Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park are composed of some of California’s Bio-regions the most tortured, twisted, and mobile rocks of the North American continent. The California’s Geomorphic Provinces rocks are mostly buried beneath soils and covered by vigorous redwood forests, which thrive in a climate famous for summer fog and powerful winter storms. The rocks only reveal themselves in steep stream banks, along road and trail cut banks, along the precipitous coastal cliffs and offshore in the form of towering rock monuments or sea stacks. (Photograph by CalTrans staff.) Few of California’s State parks display impressive monoliths adorned like a Patrick’s Point State Park displays a snapshot of geologic processes that have castle with towering spires and few permit rock climbing. Castle Crags State shaped the face of western North America, and that continue today. The rocks Park is an exception. The scenic beauty is best enjoyed from a distant exposed in the seacliffs and offshore represent dynamic interplay between the vantage point where one can see the range of surrounding landforms. The The Klamath Mountains consist of several rugged ranges and deep canyons. Klamath/North Coast Bioregion San Joaquin Valley Colorado Desert subducting oceanic tectonic plate (Gorda Plate) and the continental North American monolith and its surroundings are a microcosm of the Klamath Mountains The mountains reach elevations of 6,000 to 8,000 feet.

  • California #Savelwcf Our Land, Our Water, Our Heritage
    California #SaveLWCF Our Land, Our Water, Our Heritage America's most important conservation and recreation program will expire in less than a year unless Congress acts. For 52 years, the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) has protected national parks and open spaces in every corner of the United States. But in less than 52 weeks, it could be gone forever and along with it, future protection of the places we love. LWCF has invested more than $2.4 billion over the past five decades to protect California’s iconic outdoor places, open access for hunting, fishing, hiking, and other outdoor activities, and to build close to home parks. From community playgrounds and ballfields to California’s iconic national parks, wildlife refuges, and historic sites, LWCF has protected places like Muir Woods, Joshua Tree, Lake Tahoe and the Santa Monica Mountains, the Pacific Crest Trail, Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Grasslands Wildlife Management Area, Baldwin Hills, Tuolumne River Parkway, and community parks, recreational fields, and trails in communities small and large in California. California’s $92 billion outdoor recreation industry is an economic powerhouse – supporting 691,000 jobs which generate $30.4 billion in wages and salaries and produces $6.2 billion annually in state and local tax revenue. From Redwoods to Joshua Trees With LWCF, Californians have been able to protect some of our most iconic redwood forests, which attract tourists from California and around the world. Redwood National Park celebrates its 40th Anniversary in 2018, and we need LWCF to continue this legacy of conserving the redwoods, so that future generations may experience the grandeur of a towering old-growth grove.
