  • Physical Setting
    Physical Setting Dunne and Leopold (1978) define a watershed as an area of land that drains water, sediment, and dissolved materials to a common outlet at some point along a stream channel. The Santa Ana River (SAR) Watershed, depicted in Figure 3-1, drains a 2,650 square-mile area. The watershed is home to over 6 million people and includes the major population centers of parts of Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties, as well as a sliver of Los Angeles County. The Santa Ana River flows over 100 miles and drains the largest coastal stream system in Southern California. It discharges into the Pacific Ocean at the City of Huntington Beach. The total length of the SAR and its major tributaries is about 700 miles. 1 | W a t e r s h e d S e t t i n g Figure 3-1 Santa Ana Integrated Regional Water Management Region The watershed boundaries nearly match the boundaries of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board, an organization with whom the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) has worked closely with for many years. In addition, its boundaries match the Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) region and the recognized Santa Ana Funding Area, as defined by the Proposition 84 IRWM program. Although there are many sub-watershed planning efforts, One Water One Watershed 2.0 (OWOW) attempts to bring all these efforts, as well as all different jurisdictions in the watershed, into a single watershed-wide vision. Over the years, SAWPA has participated in the development of sub-regional IRWM plans, with the understanding that such plans would be complementary to OWOW.

  • Wild and Scenic Rivers
    Wild and Scenic Rivers Background and Study Process Wild and Scenic Rivers For reader convenience, all wild and scenic study documents are compiled here, including duplicate sections that are also found in the Final Environmental Impact Statement, Appendix E Wild and Scenic Rivers. Wild and Scenic Rivers Background and Study Process Summary of Wild and Scenic Wild and Scenic Rivers River Eligibility Inventory by Forest Wild and Scenic Rivers Background and Study Process Background Congress enacted the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (WSRA) in 1968 to preserve select river's free- flowing condition, water quality and outstandingly remarkable values. The most important provision of the WSRA is protecting rivers from the harmful effects of water resources projects. To protect free- flowing character, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (which licenses nonfederal hydropower projects) is not allowed to license construction of dams, water conduits, reservoirs, powerhouses, transmission lines, or other project works on or directly affecting wild and scenic rivers (WSRs). Other federal agencies may not assist by loan, grant, and license or otherwise any water resources project that would have a direct and adverse effect on the values for which a river was designated. The WSRA also directs that each river in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System (National System) be administered in a manner to protect and enhance a river's outstanding natural and cultural values. It allows existing uses of a river to continue and future uses to be considered, so long as existing or proposed use does not conflict with protecting river values. The WSRA also directs building partnerships among landowners, river users, tribal nations, and all levels of government.

  • Natural Resources
    NATURAL RESOURCES INTRODUCTION AND VISION FOR THE FUTURE Orange benefits from and relies upon its natural resources, which include a variety of landforms that provide the setting for the City, as well as the open spaces and parks that define many of the community’s neighborhoods. These amenities provide visual relief from the intensity of urban areas. Open spaces offer areas for passive and active recreation, and for horticulture. They provide habitat for plant and animal life. Used as parks, they house facilities for recreational and civic activities that are accessed by residents and visitors of all ages. Striking a balance between the built environment and Orange’s natural resources is vital to the long-term sustainability of the community. Such sustainability requires that growth occur in a responsible manner that allows natural resources to be preserved and enhanced for future generations. Orange’s Vision for the Future is described in the General Plan Introduction. The Vision recognizes that the City’s quality of life will be judged by how well we connect with our surroundings. Therefore, this Element focuses on how Orange can maintain and create special places that bring us together, and how the City can reinforce connections between open spaces and the community, so that all of our residents and visitors can share and enjoy the outdoors and other activities. The Vision includes the following objectives related to Orange’s natural resources: . Define neighborhoods through the use of open space areas and a trail system that provides a source of aesthetic beauty and recreational opportunities. These open space areas support a healthy and active community.
