  • California Solar Leader
    California solar leader California's Lake County, GE, and SunPower partnered on a multi-site 2.2- megawatt solar power system that-combined with an existing solar power installation-now makes Lake County home to the largest solar power installations on county facilities in California. By Vicky Boyd You could call Lake County ‘the little county that could.' Situated northeast of San Francisco, Lake County is not the most populous county in California, nor is it the richest. But progressive thinking on the part of the board of supervisors and Lake County Sanitation District has allowed the county to become a leader in sustainable resource development and use. In fact, Lake County is now a net energy producer. "The board of supervisors has taken a leadership role of becoming sustainable and becoming energy efficient. They did it prior to a lot of other counties, and we continue to do it," says Denise Rushing, Lake County supervisor representing District 3. "They were very receptive to solar and focused on energy efficiency." As a result, the county now has 3.1 megawatts of solar-generated power, making it the largest solar-energy system on county property in California. But the county probably wouldn't have been able to finance and build such large projects on its own. Rushing credits the SunPower Access Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) as the catalyst. Under that agreement, GE Energy Financial Services financed, and will own, a 2.1 MW project. SunPower Corp. of San Jose designed and built the project and will maintain it for 20 years.

  • State Parks Along California's North Coast Natural Beauty Along the Coast
    State Parks Along California's North Coast Natural Beauty Along the Coast California State Parks along the northern California coast offer visitors a chance to enjoy spectacular beauty with rugged beaches and redwood forests. Benbow Lake State Recreation Area (HUMBOLDT COUNTY), located two miles south of Garberville on Highway 101, has more than 600 acres of forest, 32,000 square feet of water, and a half-mile of beach. It's the perfect place for hiking, swimming, fishing, sailing and horseback riding. Occupying a mile of the South Fork of the Eel River, the park has three miles of hiking trails and a campground. Canoes and paddleboats may be available for rent from a concessionaire in the park. During the summer, the park is home to Shakespeare and art festivals. For more information, call (707) 923-3238 or (707) 247-3318. As with all visits to California State Parks, it's always a good idea to call before your visit to check on conditions. Richardson Grove State Park (HUMBOLDT COUNTY), located eight miles south of Garberville on Highway 101, features a forest of towering coast redwoods along the South Fork of the Eel River. The park is one of the oldest state parks. It was acquired in the 1920s and named after the state's 25th governor, Friend W. Richardson. There are developed campsites and a visitor center, built from an old lodge. The park is popular for fishing, with winter runs of silver and king salmon. For more information, call the park at (707) 247-3318. Sinkyone Wilderness State Park (HUMBOLDT and MENDOCNIO COUNTIES)\ Access to the park from the south is 50 miles north of Fort Bragg via Highway 101 and County Road 431 to Usal Beach.

  • Mountains (Eastern Klamath Study), the Northern California Coast Ranges
    mountains (Eastern Klamath study), the Northern California Coast Ranges (North Coast study), and the Sierra Nevada section (Southern Sierra study). The majority of the fisher's historical distribution in California (Grinnell et al. 1937) occurred in these 3 ecological sections, with smaller portions found in the Northern California Coastal Section (the coast redwood [Sequoia sempervirens] belt) and the Southern Cascades sections (Figure 1). STUDY AREAS VEGETATION AND CLIMATE When compared to the fisher's entire geographic range, the 3 study areas examined here shared grossly similar climate and vegetation characteristics. Weather patterns across the 3 study areas are typical of California's Mediterranean climate: summers are hot and dry while winters are cool and moist, with precipitation often falling as snow in the higher elevations (Table 1). Natural vegetation communities found on all 3 study areas included montane hardwood forests, mixed conifer forests, true fir forests, and chaparral communities in the lower and drier portions of each study area (Mayer and Laudenslayer 1988). Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests made up an important 5 component of both northern California studies, but were absent from the southern Sierra study area. Despite these gross similarities, proximity to the Pacific Ocean and latitude (Figure 2) have resulted in important differences among the areas. The North Coast study area was located within 60 km of the Pacific Ocean and generally received more precipitation than either the Eastern Klamath or Southern Sierra study areas. Habitats tended to become more xeric with increased distance from the Pacific Ocean, resulting in a more diverse array of habitats available to fishers in the eastern section of the North Coast and throughout the Eastern Klamath study areas.

  • Every Spring, a Variety of Annual and Perennial Wildflowers Bloom in Sonoma County’S Parks
    Every spring, a variety of annual and perennial wildflowers bloom in Sonoma County’s parks. This guide will help you identify some of the more common flowers. Parks known for their wildflower displays include Crane Creek, Foothill, North Sonoma Mountain, Sonoma Valley and Taylor Mountain, but you will notice certain flowers in almost every park. The flowers in this guide are organized by color, and more details can be found by clicking on the “More info” link in each entry. BLUE-ISH FLOWERS (Blue to Violet) YELLOW-ISH FLOWERS (Yellow to Orange) WHITISH FLOWERS REDDISH FLOWERS (Rose to Red) BLUE-ISH FLOWERS (Blue to Violet) Baby blue eyes Nemophila menziesii March - June | Annual This flower, a common annual herb and popular garden plant, grows throughout California, with two varieties common in Sonoma County. Var. atomaria, found in the north coast, has white flowers with black dots, often with a faint blue tint or blue veins. Var. menziesii has bright blue flowers with white centers generally dotted with black (pictured). Baby blue eyes are commonly grown as an ornamental flower in native plant or water-conserving gardens. BLUE-ISH FLOWERS (Blue to Violet) Pacific hound’s tongue Cynoglossum grande / Adelinia grande February - August | Perennial This five-lobed flower ranges from pink-purple to deep blue with white centers. It is in the borage family. There are dozens of Cynoglossum species found throughout the world, but C. grande grows only west of the Cascades and Sierra. Hound’s tongue prefers shady areas in woodlands and chaparral. It is similar to the invasive Myosotis sylvatica or forget-me-not.

  • Tri-Valley Hub Network Integration Study Final Report
    Tri-Valley Hub Network Integration Study Final Report May 20, 2021 ES-1 Final Report Tri-Valley Hub Network Integration Study Tri-Valley Hub Network Integration Study Final Report Prepared by Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) May 20, 2021 Executive Summary The 2018 California State Rail Plan envisions a network of high-speed, intercity corridor, and commuter trains integrated with local transit, providing nearly seamless connections for riders seeking to reach all parts of the state. In corridors where no trains operate, the Rail Plan calls for express buses using the existing highway systems to provide access to the state’s rail system. The Rail Plan identified the I-680 corridor between the Tri-Valley area (i.e. Dublin, Pleasanton, and Livermore) and Suisun City as one such corridor, where express buses could link a Tri-Valley Transit Hub with the Suisun-Fairfield Amtrak Station, a stop for the Capitol Corridor trains. This Tri-Valley Hub Network Integration Study is an effort to define what such express bus service would be: its route, stops, connections with corridor and commuter trains, as well as its likely ridership, revenue, and costs for implementation. The study investigates the BART Dublin/Pleasanton BART station as a candidate for the Tri-Valley Transit Hub, along with potential improvements that could make the facility easier, safer, and more comfortable for riders to use. The study also explores options to better connect northern San Joaquin County communities with the Tri-Valley Hub. The distance between the Suisun Amtrak Station and the Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station is 53 miles, inclusive of a stop at the Martinez Amtrak Station.

  • Guild of Sommeliers' Napa Valley Staff Training Guide
    STAFF TRAINING MODULE Napa Valley Napa Valley, America’s most iconic wine region, appears saturated with the vine, yet it only accounts for a mere 4% of California wine. 45,000 acres of vineyards carpet the valley floor and dot surrounding hillsides and mountains. With an emphasis on luxury wines, this small region on California’s North Coast has cemented its image as a destination for wine tourists from around the globe, and as a world-class producer of Cabernet Sauvignon. Every third vine in Napa is Cabernet, yet the valley’s complex soil patterns, coupled with changing degrees of altitude, sunlight, and temperature, provide a diversity of source material for the winemaker to sculpt into wine. Nor is Cabernet the whole story; hundreds of varieties, from Sauvignon Blanc to Charbono to Zinfandel, thrive somewhere in the valley’s gentle, Mediterranean climate. 1 History As the second region nationally designated as an “American Viticultural Area”, Napa Valley AVA dates to 1981, but the valley’s rich history of viticulture began in the late 1830s. Spurred along by the booming days of the 1849 California Gold Rush, Napa wines achieved occasional international notice in the latter half of the 19th century, and some of today’s houses, such as Charles Krug, Schramsberg, and Beringer, date to the 1860s and ‘70s. In 1880 Scottish poet Robert Louis Stevenson famously pronounced Napa’s wines as “bottled poetry” during a honeymoon sojourn in the valley. Robert Mondavi The specter of temperance and Prohibition loomed large, and the valley’s industry was crippled with passage of the 18th Amendment.
