  • 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.

Santa Barbara • Michael Wangler – Department of Science and Engineering, Cuyamaca College 3 Executive Summary With majestic mountains, dramatic coastlines, and a remarkable diversity of wildlands from alpine forests to desert scrublands, Southern California’s four national forests – Los Padres, Angeles, San Bernardino, and Cleveland – are beloved by millions of backpackers, hikers, birdwatchers, hunters and fisherman, and outdoor enthusiasts. Scientists recognize our region as one of the richest areas of plant and animal life on the planet. It is home to roughly 3,000 plant and 500 animal species, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth. Our national forests form the backbone for the conservation of the natural beauty and extraordinary biological diversity of the region. One of the great pleasures of hiking in the forests is to see this diversity, from rare butterflies, fish, frogs, and birds to mule deer, bighorn sheep, and bobcats.
