Smith 2 Abstract The Instream Flow Incremental Methodology was used to assess steelhead and coho salmon spawning and rearing streamflow/habitat relationships and requirements in Lagunitas Creek, Marin County, California. The annual flow regime developed considers individual species life stage needs. Approximately 37% of the average annual runoff is identified as being needed for spawning and rearing purposes. Typically, natural summer flows need augmentation and natural winter flows more than meet fishery needs. 1_/ Stream Evaluation Report No. 86-2, April 1986.

  • ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends
    Protecting the Land That Sustains Us 2017–2018 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends, Since it was implemented in 2014, we have been able to match your generous contributions with $10.9 million of Measure A funding to protect 10 properties, totaling 5,398 acres of farm and ranch land. Each of these protected properties has unique attributes that help ensure an agricultural future in Marin and provide critical habitat and linkages for native plants and animals. And, as we reported in our newsletter earlier this fall, our conservation team is hard at work with those landowners, helping them make their grasslands more resilient and productive, protect their watersheds and secure additional funding for critical conservation projects. But our work is far from done. As Marin’s land values continue to escalate and the number of ranchers approaching retirement age increases, we project that purchasing conservation easements on the remaining 47,500 acres of privately owned, productive farmland in Marin will require considerable private donations — to be matched with additional public funding. Given the expense, On behalf of the board and staff of we’re tackling our 100,000-acre goal in incremental stages, focusing on the most Marin Agricultural Land Trust, we are proud to share MALT’s substantial productive farmland that is currently at risk of development or being sold out accomplishments for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2018 — one of the most of agriculture. successful years in our 38-year history. This year we protected five ranches, totaling 3,847 acres, which is more than triple our traditional pace of easement We promise to keep you updated on our work and our progress.

    APPENDIX G Cultural Resources Supporting Information Cultural Resources Memo Paleontological Resources Memo APPENDIX G Cultural Resources Supporting Information Cultural Resources Memo Paleontological Resources Memo CULTURAL RESOURCES MEMO The 27 actions proposed by the Marin Municipal Water District (MMWD) in the Biodiversity, Fuel, and Fire Integrated Plan (BFFIP) for the Mt. Tamalpais Watershed, Nicasio Reservoir Lands and Soulajule Reservoir Lands include actions that have the potential to adversely affect cultural resources within the 21,600 acres of the three areas administrative units (Mount Tamalpais Watershed, Soulajule Reservoir, and Nicasio Reservoir). The MMWD plans to use combinations of manual and mechanical techniques and prescribed burning to create fuelbreaks and defensible spaces depending on vegetation type. Vegetation management will also include weed control and utilize manual and mechanical techniques, prescribed burning, and herbicides for existing fuelbreak maintenance and defensible spaces. These actions may have temporary or permanent direct, indirect, and/or cumulative physical effects on both recorded and unknown cultural resources within the three administrative units. The MMWD land in central and southern Marin County with the local climate characterized as Mediterranean with wet, mild winters and warm, dry summers. Elevations range from 80 to 2,571 feet above mean sea level with the highest elevation at East Peak of Mt. Tamalpais. Topography is generally v-shaped valleys between narrow ridge crests, with areas of more gently rolling hills. Vegetation ranges from grassland to chaparral, oak woodland and redwood forests. A wide range of wildlife is present. The approximately 18,900-acre Mount Tamalpais Watershed is south of San Geronimo and west of San Anselmo, Kentfield, and Mill Valley (USGS Inverness, Calif.
