DECLARATION OF PURPOSE A. Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the California Government Code, Government Code sections 6500 et seq., (the “Act”) authorizes the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, the Yucaipa Valley Water District and the Additional Members to create a joint exercise of powers entity which has the power to exercise any powers common to the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, the Yucaipa Valley Water District and the Additional Members and to exercise additional powers granted to it under the Act. This Agreement creates such an agency, which shall be known as the Upper Santa Ana River Watershed Infrastructure Financing Authority (the “Authority”) for the purposes and to exercise the powers described herein. B. The Members have determined to develop a means to facilitate the financing of the implementation of a coordinated regional water infrastructure program to provide a more reliable and affordable water supply to the Members and their respective rate payers, consisting of water-related capital improvement projects undertaken by the Members that are expected to benefit public agencies located within the vicinity of, or receiving water from, the Santa Ana River watershed (the “Upper Santa Ana River Watershed Infrastructure Program”). C. The Members, through the development and implementation of the Upper Santa Ana River Watershed Infrastructure Program (also known as Watershed Connect), aim to invest in projects to modernize aging infrastructure and to address issues facing the region and its Members, such as the impacts of climate change, drought and the need for cooperative water management to assure safe and reliable drinking water and environmental restoration. D. The Members are each authorized to plan for, design, construct, operate, maintain, repair and replace water-related facilities and to buy, sell, lease and use property and to incur indebtedness for public purposes pursuant to the California Water Code, the California Government Code and other laws of the State of California. E. The Members desire to use any and every power common to them and the other powers granted to the Authority pursuant to the Act for the purpose of financing the costs of the various projects comprising Upper Santa Ana River Watershed Infrastructure Program. 4845-6031-7422v12/200315-0002 4 F. Article 4 of the Act, Government Code sections 6584 et seq., (known as the “Marks- Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985”) authorizes and empowers joint powers agencies like the Authority to issue bonds and to purchase bonds issued by, or to make loans to, the Members for financing public capital improvements, working capital, liability and other insurance needs, or projects whenever there are significant public benefits, as determined by the Authority. The Marks- Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985 further authorizes and empowers the Authority to sell bonds so issued or purchased to public or private purchasers at public or negotiated sale. G. The Members desire to explore all financing options to fully implement the Upper Santa Ana River Watershed Infrastructure Program, including, but not limited to, entering into one or more loan agreements with the United States Environmental Protection Agency under its Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program and other funding options, including the use of the Marks Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985. TERMS OF AGREEMENT Section 1. Definitions. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms defined in this Section 1 shall for all purposes of this Agreement have the meanings herein specified.

  • San Timoteo Creek Habitat Enhancement Project San Bernardino County, California
    UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REGION IX 75 Hawthorne Street San Francisco, CA 94105 FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT San Timoteo Creek Habitat Enhancement Project San Bernardino County, California Project Location and Description The Cities of Loma Linda and Redlands have requested $4,500,240.00 from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to preserve and enhance wildlife habitat along a portion of San Timoteo Creek. The project covers approximately 6.58 linear miles of San Timoteo Creek, from the confluence of the Santa Ana River to the Riverside County line. The funds will be used for property acquisition and development and implementation of an enhancement plan. The EPA is considering fulfilling this funding request. Purpose and Need for the Proposed Action The purpose of the proposed action is to preserve existing habitat as open space in a land conservancy and to enhance more urbanized areas primarily by establishing native vegetation characteristic of the San Timoteo Creek area. Urbanization and stream channelization for flood control in the City of Loma Linda have resulted in the substantial loss of wildlife habitat in the lower reach of San Timoteo Creek. These activities are needed because San Timoteo Creek provides one of the only remaining linkages that present the opportunity to enhance wildlife corridors between the Santa Ana River and Prado Basins on the west and the San Bernardino, San Gorgonio, and San Jacinto Mountains to the east. This project will also compliment other ongoing conservation efforts upstream on the San Timoteo Creek. Environmental Consequences An Environmental Assessment (EA) was prepared for the San Timoteo Creek Habitat Enhancement Project in conformance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

  • Cultural Resources
    The Groves at Loma Linda Specific Plan and Phase Three Concept Area Project Draft EIR - SCH # 2018021064 4.4 – CULTURAL RESOURCES 4.4.1 INTRODUCTION AND METHODOLOGY The information in this Chapter is based on a Phase 1 Cultural Resources Investigation, prepared by McKenna et al., dated January 8, 2018, which reviewed the Specific Plan site conditions and the potential for impacts to cultural resources (see Appendix E of this Draft EIR). Cultural resources are defined as buildings, sites, structures, or objects, each of which may have historical, architectural, archaeological, cultural, or scientific importance. The term cultural resources also encompasses the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) term “historic property” as well as CEQA terms “historic resource” and “unique archaeological resource.” Under the NHPA, historic property refers to a property that is listed on, or determined eligible for listing on, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Under CEQA, historic resource means a property that is listed on, or determined eligible for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR). Unique archaeological resources are archaeological artifacts, objects, or sites that contain information to answer important scientific questions, possess a particular quality such as the oldest of its type, or are directly associated with a recognized important prehistoric or historic event or person. Archaeological Records Search McKenna et al. completed a standard archaeological records search through the California State University, Fullerton, South Central Coastal Information Center in Redlands. This research included a review of previously completed projects within one mile of the Specific Plan site; a review of the recorded cultural resources within one mile of the Study Area; a review of listings for the NRHP, CRHR, California Landmarks and California Points of Historical Interest.
