  • The High Desert Alfalfa Production Region of California Is Located From
    ALFALFA PRODUCTION IN THE HIGH DESERT Steve B. Orloff and Rhonda R. Gildersleeve' ( The high desert alfalfa production region of California is located from the Mojave Desert which includes portions of Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Kern Counties, north to Inyo and Mono Counties. Alfalfa fields in the high desertare clustered in isolated valleys with long stretchesof desert betweenthem. Thesevalleys are so isolated and dispersedthat the climate, growing conditions, soil types, and even the production practices and problems can vary considerably between production areas. The main alfalfa production areas and their characteristics are presentedin table 1. Many people mistakenly believe that "desert" is "desert", and lump the high desert with the low desert. However, those that are familiar with both areas realize there are very distinct differences. The climate in the high desert is unique, but has similarities with both the low desert and the colder northern parts of the state. The high desert climate is characterized by large swings in temperature, both from day to night and from summer to winter. Winter low temperatures between zero to ten degrees(negative 10 to 20 in the northern mountain valleys) have been recorded (particularly this last year), while summer temperatures exceeding 110 degrees commonly occur. A drop in temperature of 40 to 50 degreesbetween day and night is not uncommon. Spring frosts as late as April (and even June in northern high-elevation areas) are routine, and slow alfalfa growth. Winds are a common denominator throughout all of the high-desert valleys. Most areas have a prevailing "breeze" of 10 to 20 miles per hour during the day.

  • 3.6 - Geology and Soils
    City of Redlands - Redlands Crossing Center Draft EIR Geology and Soils 3.6 - Geology and Soils 3.6.1 - Introduction This section describes the existing geology and soils setting on the site and surrounding area and the potential impacts upon geology and soils associated with implementation of the Project. Section 15125 of the State CEQA Guidelines requires EIRs to include a description of the physical environmental conditions in the area of a project that exist at the time that the Notice of Preparation (NOP) is circulated. These environmental conditions normally constitute the baseline physical conditions relative to which the CEQA lead agency evaluates the change in conditions that would result from project implementation. The NOP for this Draft EIR was issued on February 27, 2009. Therefore, environmental conditions as of February 2009 represent the baseline for CEQA purposes. To evaluate the footprint impacts of the Proposed Action (e.g., effects on geology and soils), the conditions in 2009 are considered to be the baseline. Buildout of the Project is then added to existing conditions in order to determine whether Project implementation would substantially remove or impact the resources, thereby resulting in a significant impact on the environment. Data used to determine the baseline for geology and soils were derived from information contained in the Geotechnical Engineering Investigation Report prepared for this Project by Krazan and Associates, Inc. (KA), dated July 8, 2005, and is included in this Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) as Appendix E. Therefore, data used to derive baseline conditions is based on existing conditions at the time of NOP issuance (February 27, 2009 through March 31, 2009) and are appropriate to use within the following analysis.
