  • A. INTRODUCTION the Devil's Basin Research Natural Area (DBRNA
    A. INTRODUCTION The Devil's Basin Research Natural Area (DBRNA) lies within the Corning Ranger District, Mendocino National Forest (Maps 1 and 2). The California black oak (Quercus kelloggii1)stands and surrounding areas of Devil's Basin were first reconnoitered in 1984 (Henry 1984), and subsequently proposed as a representative of the California Black Oak Woodland type (Holland 1986). An ecological survey of the basin was completed in 1987 (Newton 1987). Unless otherwise noted, information contained in this Establishment Record is based on this ecological survey. The DBRNA has had no history of intensive use such as logging or grazing. The DBRNA is entirely under public ownership with the Mendocino National Forest. 1) Land Management Planning The establishment of Devil's Basin RNA is recommended and evaluated in the Mendocino National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP 1995) and the Environmental Impact Statement and Appendices for the LRMP (U.S.D.A. Forest Service 1995a-c). The land allocation for the Devil's Basin RNA was decided by the signing of the Record of Decision (ROD) for the LRMP by the Regional Forester (1995). The establishment of the DBRNA is completed upon signature of this Establishment Record with concurrence of the Station Director. The area lies within the Research Natural Areas Management Area #5 allocated to Management Prescription #11 which emphasizes the preservation of natural conditions and the protection of features for which the RNA was established (Appendix 3). B. OBJECTIVES The primary purpose for establishment of the DBRNA is to preserve a representative of a Black Oak Woodland ecosystem and its associates in a condition minimally modified by humans within the North Coast Physiographic Province for their scientific value and educational importance.

  • Seeking an Understanding of the Groundwater Aquifer Systems in the Northern Sacramento Valley
    SEEKING AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE GROUNDWATER AQUIFER SYSTEMS IN THE NORTHERN SACRAMENTO VALLEY Allan Fulton1, Toccoy Dudley2, Kelly Staton2, Debbie Spangler2 SOUND CONCEPT OR MISCONCEPTION To many people, the Sacramento Valley appears as an expansive groundwater basin filled with freshwater. It is also common to conceptualize the groundwater basin as an underground lake or a series of underground rivers that provide water to wells. Are these sound concepts or misconceptions? Recent interpretation of over 150 down-hole electrical resistivity logs from widely scattered locations throughout much of the northern Sacramento Valley has revealed that these simplistic concepts are incorrect. This pamphlet provides a glimpse of ongoing studies of the aquifer systems in the northern Sacramento Valley. The findings are preliminary and will likely improve as further information is gathered. Comprehensive reports of these studies should be available later in 2004. KNOWLEDGE GAPS AND NEW INVESTIGATIONS Concepts are easily formed and rationalized and can appear to be factual without sufficient field research to validate them. Until recently, only three regional investigations of the aquifer systems in the Sacramento Valley had been completed in the past 80 years and none were conducted since the mid 1970’s. Since 1997, the California Department of Water Resources, Northern District, Groundwater Section, headquartered in Red Bluff, California, has been conducting new investigations into the saline and freshwater aquifer systems in the northern Sacramento Valley. Findings from their investigations offer a greater understanding of the geology and hydrogeology in the northern Sacramento Valley. METHODS USED IN RECENT GROUNDWATER INVESTIGATIONS Geologic cross-sections have been and are currently being developed to help understand the sub-surface hydrogeology of the northern Sacramento Valley.

  • Water Quality Control Plan, Sacramento and San Joaquin River Basins
    Presented below are water quality standards that are in effect for Clean Water Act purposes. EPA is posting these standards as a convenience to users and has made a reasonable effort to assure their accuracy. Additionally, EPA has made a reasonable effort to identify parts of the standards that are not approved, disapproved, or are otherwise not in effect for Clean Water Act purposes. Amendments to the 1994 Water Quality Control Plan for the Sacramento River and San Joaquin River Basins The Third Edition of the Basin Plan was adopted by the Central Valley Water Board on 9 December 1994, approved by the State Water Board on 16 February 1995 and approved by the Office of Administrative Law on 9 May 1995. The Fourth Edition of the Basin Plan was the 1998 reprint of the Third Edition incorporating amendments adopted and approved between 1994 and 1998. The Basin Plan is in a loose-leaf format to facilitate the addition of amendments. The Basin Plan can be kept up-to-date by inserting the pages that have been revised to include subsequent amendments. The date subsequent amendments are adopted by the Central Valley Water Board will appear at the bottom of the page. Otherwise, all pages will be dated 1 September 1998. Basin plan amendments adopted by the Regional Central Valley Water Board must be approved by the State Water Board and the Office of Administrative Law. If the amendment involves adopting or revising a standard which relates to surface waters it must also be approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) [40 CFR Section 131(c)].

  • Use of Dive Counts to Estimate Fish Population Abundance in the Rock Creek - Cresta Reaches of the North Fork Feather River, California
    USE OF DIVE COUNTS TO ESTIMATE FISH POPULATION ABUNDANCE IN THE ROCK CREEK – CRESTA REACHES OF THE NORTH FORK FEATHER RIVER, CALIFORNIA. Prepared For: Technical & Ecological Services Pacific Gas & Electric Company 3400 Crow Canyon Road San Ramon, CA 94583 Prepared By: Thomas R. Payne & Associates 890 L Street Arcata, CA 95521 707-822-8478 Contributors: Mark Allen, Thomas Gast February 7, 2007 ABSTRACT Direct observation dive counts were conducted by a team of divers in individual habitat units in the Cresta Reach and Rock Creek Reach of the North Fork Feather River in 2002 (a pilot study), 2004, 2005, and 2006, under base flow conditions elevated from historical levels. Habitat units were selected for diving using a stratified random design that allowed estimation of indexes of fish abundance within species, size class, habitat type, and reach strata. Annual comparisons of index abundance were possible due to consistency in sampling designs and field methodologies, and because stream conditions (e.g., streamflow, water temperature, and water visibility) remained relatively similar in each year of study. Statistically significant differences between annual estimates of abundance were determined through assessment of index confidence intervals or by explicitly estimating the difference in abundance between occasions (2005-2006 only). Differences in fish index densities between reaches were minor for rainbow trout, but were consistently higher in the Rock Creek Reach for adult-sized (>10 inches) hardhead, pikeminnows, and suckers. Smallmouth bass, in contrast, were consistently more abundant in the Cresta Reach. Index densities of fry (<5 inches) were not consistently different between reaches, but juvenile (5-10 inches) non-trout species were notably absent from the Cresta Reach in each year of study.

INTRODUCTION In 1887, the California legislature passed the Wright Act, "an act to provide for the organization and government of irrigation districts."1 This creation of a special governmental district that was empowered to levy assessment against all the lands within its boundaries presented a novel approach to water resource development in the Western United States. The Wright Act sparked much controversy. One opponent termed it "communism and confiscation under the guise of law."11 These special districts, generally referred to as irrigation districts;8 his­ torically played an important role in the development of the West, and they continue to do so today, even in rapidly urbanizing areas.' Whether in their present form these districts are appropriate devices to foster and manage Western water supplies in an era of rapid population growth and increasing competition for water is an unanswered, and largely unex­ plored, question. This comment first discusses the history of irrigation districts, tracing their evolution through several stages of Western development.
