I want to ensure these resources are Central Coast available for generations to come. Wilderness Proposal That is why for the last several months, I have worked closely with hundreds of local stakeholders and public lands experts to draft a legislative proposal to permanently protect certain areas and waters within the Los Padres National Forest and Carrizo Plain National Monument. The draft legislation would also designate the Condor Trail as a new National Recreation Trail, which, once complete, will provide a through-hiking or -horseback riding experience that rivals the Pacific Crest Trail in its recreational opportunities and astounding natural beauty. Already, nearly 300 local landowners, businesses, elected officials, farmers, ranchers, civic leaders, wineries, recreation leaders, and outfitters are supportive of additional wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, and scenic areas in our region. A full list of supporters can be found here: http://centralcoastwild.org/supporters. But in such a large geographic region, it is often difficult to reach everyone who cares about and recreates in these areas. That is why I am seeking public comments on this proposal from my constituents in the 24th Congressional District and other stakeholders in the region. If you would like to submit a comment, please take the time to review the legislation and maps of the proposal below, and then email your comments http://capps.house.gov/issue/central-coast-wilderness-draft-legislation 1/2 3/18/2014 Central Coast Wilderness Proposal | Congresswoman Lois Capps to [email protected].

    Center Comments to the California Department of Fish and Game

    July 24, 2006 Ryan Broderick, Director California Department of Fish and Game 1416 Ninth Street, 12th Floor Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: Improving efficiency of California’s fish hatchery system Dear Director Broderick: On behalf of the Pacific Rivers Council and Center for Biological Diversity, we are writing to express our concerns about the state’s fish hatchery and stocking system and to recommend needed changes that will ensure that the system does not negatively impact California’s native biological diversity. This letter is an update to our letter of August 31, 2005. With this letter, we are enclosing many of the scientific studies we relied on in developing this letter. Fish hatcheries and the stocking of fish into lakes and streams cause numerous measurable, significant environmental effects on California ecosystems. Based on these impacts, numerous policy changes are needed to ensure that the Department of Fish and Game’s (“DFG”) operation of the state’s hatchery and stocking program do not adversely affect California’s environment. Further, as currently operated, the state’s hatchery and stocking program do not comply with the California Environmental Quality Act, Administrative Procedures Act, California Endangered Species Act, and federal Endangered Species Act. The impacts to California’s environment, and needed policy changes to bring the state’s hatchery and stocking program into compliance with applicable state and federal laws, are described below. I. FISH STOCKING NEGATIVELY IMPACTS CALIFORNIA’S NATIVE SALMONIDS, INCLUDING THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES Introduced salmonids negatively impact native salmonids in a variety of ways. Moyle, et. al. (1996) notes that “Introduction of non-native fish species has also been the single biggest factor associated with fish declines in the Sierra Nevada.” Moyle also notes that introduced species are contributing to the decline of 18 species of native Sierra Nevada fish species, and are a major factor in the decline of eight of those species.

    Thomas Fire 2017-2018, Los Padres National Forest BAER Hydrology Report Resource Specialty: Hydrology Fire Name: Thomas Fires Month and Year: December 2017-January 2018 Author(s) Name and Home unit Name: Emily Fudge, Cleveland National Forest Objectives This assessment focused on evaluating possible post-fire hydrologic threats to potential values at risk for the Thomas Fire on the Los Padres National Forest, Santa Barbara County, California. Hydrologic post-fire threats include post-fire flooding, slope instability, and bulking of flows from sediment and debris. Potential threats also include avulsion on depositional fans and catchment outlets due to bulked flows (rapid relocation of channel location); braiding of channels, scour, and channel migration. I. Potential Values at Risk Initial potential Values at Risk (VARs) identified for evaluation for the Thomas Fire are listed below. See VAR spreadsheet in the 2500-8 for detailed list of evaluated values at risk (VARs). During preliminary reconnaissance, it was recognized that whole communities, major highways and roads, and privately owned infrastructure downstream/slope of the Thomas Fire could be affected by post-fire effects. A State Watershed Emergency Response Team (WERT) was tasked with conducting an assessment of VARs on non-FS lands including all these areas. This BAER assessment focuses on VARs owned by the Forest Service or located on FS lands. An initial BAER assessment considered VARs in the Ojai and Wheeler Ridge areas so these areas are excluded from this report. This assessment does not include assessment of post-fire impacts within the Adams Canyon, Harmon Canyon, Arundell Barranca, or Lower Ventura River HUC 6 watersheds.

  • Chapter 10 Water Resources

    Chapter 10 Water Resources

    Chapter 10 Water Resources Water Resources 2040 General Plan 10 WATER RESOURCES INTRODUCTION This chapter summarizes the various water resources and water resource issues in Ventura County. It is organized into the following sections: ▪ Major Findings (Section 10.1) ▪ Legal and Regulatory Framework for Water Management (Section 10.2) ▪ Integrated Regional Water Management (0) ▪ Existing Conditions (by watershed) (Section 10.4) ▪ Trends and Future Conditions (Section 10.5) ▪ Key Terms (Section 10.6) ▪ References (Section 10.7) The organization of this chapter differs from others in the Background Report because of the nature of its subject matter. First, because the overall legal and regulatory framework affecting water resources is key to understanding how such resources are managed, the framework is the first substantive discussion in this chapter. Second, because water resources are so integrally tied to geography, the existing conditions discussions are organized according to the county’s watersheds, with each aspect of the resource addressed as it relates uniquely to each watershed. MAJOR FINDINGS Adequate water supply is a current and ongoing concern in Ventura County due to climate change and drought, the related declines in river flows and reservoir levels, historic overdraft of several local groundwater basins, curtailment of groundwater supplies in southern Ventura County, new groundwater well prohibitions, and reduced deliveries of imported water. More than 850,000 residents and 156 square miles (95,802 acres) of irrigated farmland in Ventura County experienced direct impacts from the drought that began in 2012. ▪ The water supply challenges are great and could impact residents, businesses, agriculture, and the environmental resources of Ventura County without concerted action.
