  • Final Program Environmental Impact Report
    Executive Summary Final Program Environmental Impact Report Expansion of Ferry Transit Service in the San Francisco Bay Area Prepared by: URS Corporation June 2003 Prepared for: Executive Summary ES.1 INTRODUCTION This document is a Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) addressing the San Francisco Water Transit Authority’s (WTA) Proposed Project to implement expanded ferry service in the Bay Area. The WTA began operation as a new regional agency in 2000, with the directive of evaluating options to improve and expand Bay Area ferry service and to report back to the California Legislature with a recommended plan of action. As a result, the preparation of WTA’s Implementation and Operations Plan (IOP) initiated a wide range of studies, consultation, and public outreach that provided input to the decision-making process of developing the plan. From August 2002 through January 2003, the WTA circulated a Draft Program EIR for public review and comment. That EIR did not identify a proposed project or preferred alternative; rather, it addressed a range of alternatives for expanding ferry service in the Bay Area. In March 2003, the WTA recirculated the Draft EIR in order to include analysis of the IOP Alternative, which is now identified as the Proposed Project, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines. ES.2 PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES/NEED ES.2.1 Purpose and Objectives The primary purpose of the WTA system IOP is to increase Bay Area regional mobility and transportation options by providing new and expanded water transit services and related ground transportation terminal access in the Bay Area. ES.2.2 Need The Bay Area is home to a highly diverse population and historically strong economy that is served by a complex transportation network.

  • San Pablo Bay and Marin Islands National Wildlife Refuges - Refuges in the North Bay by Bryan Winton
    San Pablo Bay NWR Tideline Newsletter Archives San Pablo Bay and Marin Islands National Wildlife Refuges - Refuges in the North Bay by Bryan Winton Editor’s Note: In March 2003, the National Wildlife Refuge System will be celebrating its 100th anniversary. This system is the world’s most unique network of lands and waters set aside specifically for the conservation of fish, wildlife and plants. President Theodore Roosevelt established the first refuge, 3- acre Pelican Island Bird Reservation in Florida’s Indian River Lagoon, in 1903. Roosevelt went on to create 55 more refuges before he left office in 1909; today the refuge system encompasses more than 535 units spread over 94 million acres. Leading up to 2003, the Tideline will feature each national wildlife refuge in the San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge Complex. This complex is made up of seven Refuges (soon to be eight) located throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and headquartered at Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge in Fremont. We hope these articles will enhance your appreciation of the uniqueness of each refuge and the diversity of habitats and wildlife in the San Francisco Bay Area. San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge Tucked away in the northern reaches of the San Francisco Bay estuary lies a body of water and land unique to the San Francisco Bay Area. Every winter, thousands of canvasbacks - one of North America’s largest and fastest flying ducks, will descend into San Pablo Bay and the San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge. This refuge not only boasts the largest wintering population of canvasbacks on the west coast, it protects the largest remaining contiguous patch of pickleweed-dominated tidal marsh found in the northern San Francisco Bay - habitat critical to Aerial view of San Pablo Bay NWR the survival of the endangered salt marsh harvest mouse.

    Communication from Public Name: Daniel Gaines Date Submitted: 11/12/2020 12:54 PM Council File No: 18-1246 Comments for Public Posting: This ordinance, if passed, would essentially ignore our housing crisis and prioritize tourists over long term tenants and the wealthy over people who desperately need housing. As someone who works in homeless services, I see firsthand how the shortage of housing is a public health issue for the folks I serve, and we know that deaths of unhoused individuals have skyrocketed in recent months. LA is in a state of emergency when it comes to housing and I implore the council to alleviate the crisis of houselessness BEFORE focusing on lodgings for tourists who all have homes to return to. It is unconscionable for our City to consider removing housing from the long-term rental market at a time when tenants are being displaced and and homelessness is increasing. If passed, this ordinance will potentially remove 14,740 homes from the long term rental market in Los Angeles. (LA Times: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-12-19/los-angeles-vacation-rentals-city-council-considers-loosening-rules) In these dire times, we are asking PLUM to please consider who really needs their protection: working Angelenos trying to stay in their homes, or the wealthiest among us trying to profit from second homes they don’t actually live in?

  • Status of Ospreys Nesting on San Francisco Bay ANTHONY J
    STATUS OF OSPREYS NESTING ON SAN FRANCISCO BAY ANTHONY J. BRAKE, 1201 Brickyard Way, Richmond, California 94801; [email protected] HARVEY A. WILSON, 1113 Otis Drive, Alameda, California 94501; [email protected] ROBIN LEONG, 336 Benson Avenue, Vallejo, California 94590 ALLEN M. FISH, Golden Gate Raptor Observatory, Building 1064, Fort Cronkhite, Sausalito, California 94965 ABSTRACT: Historical records from the early 1900s, as well as surveys updated in the late 1980s and more recent information from local breeding bird atlases, in- dicate that Ospreys rarely nested on San Francisco Bay prior to 2005. In 2013, we surveyed nesting Ospreys baywide and located 26 nesting pairs, 17 of which were successful and fledged 44 young. We also report on findings from previous annual nest surveys of a portion of San Francisco Bay beginning in 1999. These results demonstrate a greater breeding abundance than has previously been recognized. The density of Osprey nests is highest near the north end of San Francisco Bay, but nesting also appears to be expanding southward. Nearly all of the nests observed were built on artificial structures, some of which were inappropriate and required nests to be removed. Over half of unsuccessful pairs experienced significant human disturbance. We recommend that conservation efforts focus on reducing this ratio, and to help do so, we urge erecting nest platforms as part of efforts to deter nesting when it conflicts with human activity. The Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) is a diurnal, piscivorous raptor that breeds or winters in a variety of habitats on all continents except Antarctica. Upon reaching maturity, the birds typically return close to their natal site to breed.

[Approved by Governor October 14, 2007. Filed with Secretary of State October 14, 2007.] legislative counsel’s digest SB 976, Torlakson. San Francisco Bay Area Water Emergency Transportation Authority. Existing law creates the San Francisco Bay Area Water Transit Authority (WTA) with specified powers and duties relative to the development of a plan for implementation and operation of a water transit system on San Francisco Bay. This bill would repeal those provisions and establish the San Francisco Bay Area Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA) with specified powers and duties, including, but not limited to, the authority to, among other things, coordinate the emergency activities of all water transportation and related facilities within the bay area region, as defined. The bill would require the WTA to transfer, among other things, the title and ownership of all property within its control to the WETA. The bill would also require the transfer to the WETA of funds designated for the WTA and all public transportation ferries and related water transportation services and facilities within the bay area region, as specified. The bill would provide that the WETA is as fully entitled to new allocations or distributions of funds as if it were the WTA. The bill would require the WETA to be governed by a board composed of five members appointed by the Governor, the Senate Committee on Rules, and the Speaker of the Assembly, as specified, and would set forth various duties and powers of the board.

In 1999, the California Legislature established the San Francisco Bay Area Water Transit Authority (WTA) in order to create a regional ferry agency to plan and implement new ferry services in the San Francisco Bay Area with a focus on improving general mobility and reducing traffic congestion. In 2007, the legislature directed the agency to take over existing public ferry transit systems operated by the cities of Vallejo and Alameda and expanded the Authority’s role to include coordination and oversight of the ferry transit response in the event of a natural disaster.
