  • The Catalina Triangle — Magnificence & Mystery Meet Mayhem & Murder Most Foul Off the Souther California Coast
    THE CATALINA TRIANGLE — MAGNIFICENCE & MYSTERY MEET MAYHEM & MURDER MOST FOUL OFF THE SOUTHER CALIFORNIA COAST Dedicated to the many men and women who have lost their lives in the Catalina Triangle by Ned Madden, San Clemente, Calif. – 2017 * * * “…The lure of the sea is some strange magic that makes men love what they fear. Death on the shifting barren sands seems less insupportable to the imagination than death out on the boundless ocean, in the awful, windy emptiness. Man's bones yearn for dust.” — Zane Grey "If a life is taken close to the 33rd Parallel North, this fits with the Masons’ demonic mythology in which they demonstrate their worldly power by spilling human blood at a predetermined locale." — "Masons and Mystery at the Parallel" by Day Williams (Anti-Freemason Christian writer) A bee on a balloon and a kite on the moon … The Catalina Triangle … a 1,200-square-mile pie-slice-shaped wedge of Pacific Ocean off the OC coast in between Dana Point, Santa Catalina and San Clemente islands … works in mysterious ways, and, yeh, I did once look up to glimpse that very real and singular close-bee- balloon/far-kite-moon visual floating before my eyes as I walked along the Capo Beach strand. No surprise. I’ve come to expect Catalina Triangle strangeness – like the Avalon “sleepkiller,” the 33rd Parallel/“Bloodline of the Earth” link, Natalie Wood and Phil Hartman, St. John Capistrano: “Scourge of the Jews,” sado-masochistic padres and blood-soaked natives, ghosts and pirates, a 30-kiloton nuke, mountain ranges spun sideways, sinking islands and northwest- trending fault epicentrum, Borderland and Bight, Gyre and eddy, countercurrent and undercurrent, earthquake and tsunami, moonscape sea craters and underwater knoll oases, Navy SEALs’ bin Laden-killing fake city, a real building made of human bones, largest animal (with the largest penis, a ten-footer) ever to draw breath and spout water vapor (the animal, not the organ) in the long sweep of phallic time on Mother Earth herself … beginning-of-life stuff.

    SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY RELIABILITY ENHANCEMENT PROJECT 4.2 AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY RESOURCES 1 4.2 Agriculture and Forestry Resources 2 3 This section describes the environmental and regulatory settings and discusses potential impacts 4 associated with construction and operation of the proposed project with respect to agriculture and 5 forestry resources. No comments were received regarding agriculture and forestry resources during the 6 scoping period. 7 8 4.2.1 Environmental Setting 9 10 4.2.1.1 Agriculture Lands 11 12 Prior to the 1940s, Orange County was a rural region primarily supported by an agricultural economy. 13 The decline of agricultural production in Orange County started in the mid-1940s and drastically 14 declined in the 1960s and 1970s due to rapid suburbanization (Orange County 2005a). In 2010, 15 approximately 45,000 acres of land within Orange County (9 percent of the county’s land area), were 16 used for agricultural purposes (DOC 2010). Agricultural land within the county primarily produces 17 nursery products, tree fruit, berry crops, and vegetables (Orange County 2012). In 2012, agriculture in 18 Orange County had a gross value of approximately $136 million, and the county was ranked 36th in the 19 State of California based on crop value (CFBF 2014). 20 21 4.2.1.2 Forest and Timber Lands 22 23 The proposed project does not contain any designated areas of forest or timber lands. 24 25 4.2.2 Regulatory Setting 26 27 4.2.2.1 Federal 28 29 No federal regulations specific to agriculture and forestry resources are applicable to the proposed 30 project.

  • Aviation & Airport Ground Access
    TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM AVIATION AND AIRPORT GROUND ACCESS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS TECHNICAL REPORT ADOPTED ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 INTRODUCTION 2 REGIONAL SIGNIFICANCE 3 REGULATORY FRAMEWORK 18 ANALYTICAL APPROACH 19 EXISTING CONDITIONS 23 STRATEGIES 31 NEXT STEPS 36 CONCLUSION 40 REFERENCES 41 TECHNICAL REPORT AVIATION AND AIRPORT GROUND ACCESS ADOPTED ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2020 connectsocal.org EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM The SCAG region is home to seven commercial airports with scheduled passenger service, seven government/military air fields, and over 30 reliever Aviation and Airport and general aviation airports. On a daily basis, the region’s airports provide service to hundreds of thousands of air passengers, and thousands of tons of cargo. Moreover, the airports in the SCAG region employ approximately 60,000 Ground Access people onsite. Therefore, thousands of passengers, employees, and goods are traveling the region’s roads, highways, and transit systems to get to and from the airports. As a metropolitan planning organization (MPO), SCAG does not have any regulatory, developmental, operational, or planning authority over the airports. Rather, SCAG is primarily a regional surface transportation planning agency that maintains a list of airport ground access projects and a consultative relationship with the airports. Therefore, SCAG is focused on air and passenger cargo activity from the perspective of how the traffic coming and going from the airports affects the region’s roads, highways, and transit system. One critical aspect of SCAG’s role in aviation systems and transportation planning is the Aviation Element of the 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (2020 RTP/SCS) (Connect SoCal).

Normark† U.S. Geological Survey, 345 Middlefi eld Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA David J.W. Piper* Geological Survey of Canada (Atlantic), Bedford Institute of Oceanography, P.O. Box 1006, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, B2Y 4A2, Canada Brian W. Romans Jacob A. Covault Geological and Environmental Sciences, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305, USA Peter Dartnell Ray W. Sliter U.S. Geological Survey, 345 Middlefi eld Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA ABSTRACT Late Quaternary turbidite and related gravity-fl ow deposits have accumulated in basins of the California Borderland under a variety of conditions of sediment sup- ply and sea-level stand. The northern basins (Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, and San Pedro) are closed and thus trap virtually all sediment supplied through submarine canyons and smaller gulley systems along the basin margins. The southern basins (Gulf of Santa Catalina and San Diego Trough) are open, and, under some conditions, turbidity currents fl ow from one basin to another. Seismic-refl ection profi les at a vari- ety of resolutions are used to determine the distribution of late Quaternary turbidites. Patterns of turbidite-dominated deposition during lowstand conditions of oxygen iso- tope stages 2 and 6 are similar within each of the basins. Chronology is provided by radiocarbon dating of sediment from two Ocean Drilling Program sites, the Mohole test-drill site, and large numbers of piston cores. High-resolution, seismic-stratigraphic frameworks developed for Santa Monica Basin and the open southern basins show rapid lateral shifts in sediment accumulation on scales that range from individual lobe elements to entire fan complexes.
