Santa Anita Ave. Arcadia, CA 91006 (626) 574-1613 The Angeles National Forest is located mainly in the San Gabriel Mountains just north of Los Angeles. It is considered to be one of the most urban national forests in the nation, with more than 17 million people living within an hour’s drive and approximately 4 million visitors each year. The Forest is divided into three Ranger Districts oriented around watershed boundaries: the Los Angeles River Ranger District, the Santa Clara/Mojave Rivers Ranger District, and the San Gabriel River Ranger District. Elevations range from 1,200 feet to 10,064 feet, with dense chaparral and oak covering the lower- to mid-elevation slopes and various conifer species in the higher elevations. The Angeles provides 72 percent of all open space in Los Angeles County, and a third of all downstream water in the Los Angeles basin. The major infrastructure for the basin is located within the Forest. This includes power lines, water conveyances, telecommunications, natural gas and oil pipelines, and flood control facilities. Recreational opportunities on the Forest include: hiking, biking, winter sports, fishing, boating, water-play, off-highway vehicle use, picnicking, camping, scenic driving, and horseback riding. The Forest has approximately 550 miles of recreational trails, including 73 miles of National Recreation Trails and 176 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail. 2014 | Volunteer Project Directory 9 Forest Supervisor’s Office/Forest-Wide Projects Project Name: 12th Annual “Walk Now for Autism Speaks” Fundraiser Date/Time: Friday/Saturday April 25 & 26, 2014 Project Location Project Description Rose Bowl Stadium in Help the Forest Service support Autism Speaks: On Saturday April 26, 2014 the world’s leading autism science and Pasadena, CA: advocacy organization, Autism Speaks, will hold their 12th annual “Walk Now for Autism Speaks” fundraiser at the 1001 Rose Bowl Drive Rose Bowl.

    Petition to List the Santa Ana Speckled Dace (Rhinichthys osculus subspecies) as Endangered or Threatened under the Endangered Species Act May 11, 2020 1 Notice of Petition Submitted to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on May 11, 2020: Aurelia Skipwith, Director U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1849 C Street NW, Room 3331 Washington, DC 20240-0001 [email protected] Carlsbad Fish & Wildlife Office 2177 Salk Avenue, Suite 250 Carlsbad, CA 92008 Petitioner Center for Biological Diversity formally requests that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (“USFWS”) list the Santa Ana speckled dace (Rhinichthys osculus subspecies) as an endangered or threatened Distinct Population Segment under the federal Endangered Species Act (“ESA”), 16 U.S.C. §§1531-1544. Alternatively, Petitioner requests that the USFWS determine that the Santa Ana speckled dace is a valid species, which should be listed as endangered or threatened under the ESA. The Center requests that critical habitat for the Santa Ana speckled dace be designated concurrent with listing. This petition is filed under §553(e) of the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA” - 5 U.S.C. §§ 551-559), §1533(b)(3) of the ESA, and 50 C.F.R. §424.14(b). This petition sets in motion a specific administrative process as defined by §1533(b)(3) and 50 C.F.R. §424.14(b), placing mandatory response requirements on the USFWS. Because the Santa Ana speckled dace is exclusively a fresh water fish, the USFWS has jurisdiction over this petition. The Center for Biological Diversity is a nonprofit environmental organization dedicated to the protection of native species and their habitats.

  • Center Comments to the California Department of Fish and Game
    July 24, 2006 Ryan Broderick, Director California Department of Fish and Game 1416 Ninth Street, 12th Floor Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: Improving efficiency of California’s fish hatchery system Dear Director Broderick: On behalf of the Pacific Rivers Council and Center for Biological Diversity, we are writing to express our concerns about the state’s fish hatchery and stocking system and to recommend needed changes that will ensure that the system does not negatively impact California’s native biological diversity. This letter is an update to our letter of August 31, 2005. With this letter, we are enclosing many of the scientific studies we relied on in developing this letter. Fish hatcheries and the stocking of fish into lakes and streams cause numerous measurable, significant environmental effects on California ecosystems. Based on these impacts, numerous policy changes are needed to ensure that the Department of Fish and Game’s (“DFG”) operation of the state’s hatchery and stocking program do not adversely affect California’s environment. Further, as currently operated, the state’s hatchery and stocking program do not comply with the California Environmental Quality Act, Administrative Procedures Act, California Endangered Species Act, and federal Endangered Species Act. The impacts to California’s environment, and needed policy changes to bring the state’s hatchery and stocking program into compliance with applicable state and federal laws, are described below. I. FISH STOCKING NEGATIVELY IMPACTS CALIFORNIA’S NATIVE SALMONIDS, INCLUDING THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES Introduced salmonids negatively impact native salmonids in a variety of ways. Moyle, et. al. (1996) notes that “Introduction of non-native fish species has also been the single biggest factor associated with fish declines in the Sierra Nevada.” Moyle also notes that introduced species are contributing to the decline of 18 species of native Sierra Nevada fish species, and are a major factor in the decline of eight of those species.

U.S. Fish and Wildliffee Service Carlsbad Fish and Wildlife Office Carlsbad, CA March 10, 2011 2011 5-Year Review for Santa Ana sucker 5-YEAR REVIEW Santa Ana sucker (Catostomus santaanae) I. GENERAL INFORMATION Purpose of 5-Year Reviews: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is required by section 4(c)(2) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) to conduct a status review of each listed species at least once every 5 years. The purpose of a 5-year review is to evaluate whether or not the species’ status has changed since it was listed. Based on the 5-year review, we recommend whether the species should be removed from the list of endangered and threatened species, be changed in status from endangered to threatened, or be changed in status from threatened to endangered. Our original listing of a species as endangered or threatened is based on the existence of threats attributable to one or more of the five threat factors described in section 4(a)(1) of the Act, and we must consider these same five factors in any subsequent consideration of reclassification or delisting of a species. In the 5-year review, we consider the best available scientific and commercial data on the species, and focus on new information available since the species was listed or last reviewed. If we recommend a change in listing status based on the results of the 5-year review, we must propose to do so through a separate rule-making process defined in the Act that includes public review and comment.

E1907637) November 2017 Bureau of Engineering City of Los Angeles Environmental Management Group This Page Intentially Left Blank CITY OF LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT INITIAL STUDY (Article I - City CEQA Guidelines) Council District: 7 Draft date: July 2, 2015 Final date: November 2015 Lead City Agency: Department of Public Works, Bureau of Engineering, Environmental Management Division (BOE/EMG) Project Title: Big Tujunga Wash at Oro Vista Avenue Maintenance Program (W.O. E1907637) Project Sponsor: Department of Public Works, Bureau of Street Services I. INTRODUCTION A. Purpose of an Initial Study The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) was enacted in 1970 for the purpose of providing decision-makers and the public with information regarding environmental effects of proposed projects; identifying means of avoiding environmental damage; and disclosing to the public the reasons behind a project’s approval even if it leads to environmental damage. The Bureau of Engineering Environmental Management Group (BOE/EMG) has determined the proposed project is subject to CEQA and no exemptions apply. Therefore, the preparation of an initial study is required. An initial study is a preliminary analysis conducted by the lead agency, in consultation with other agencies (responsible or trustee agencies, as applicable), to determine whether there is substantial evidence that a project may have a significant effect on the environment. If the initial study concludes that the project, with mitigation, may have a significant effect on the environment, an environmental impact report should be prepared; otherwise the lead agency may adopt a negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration.

  • Executive Summary the Ranch Fire Started October 20, 2007 Near
    USDA­FOREST SERVICE FS­2500­8 (6/06) Date of Report: 11/05/07 BURNED­AREA REPORT (Reference FSH 2509.13) Executive Summary The Ranch Fire started October 20, 2007 near Townsend Peak, southwest of Templin Highway and Interstate 5 on the Angeles National Forest. Intense Santa Ana winds peaking above 100 mph on the ridge tops drove the fire southwest across 13000 acres of the Angeles National Forest then onto the Los Padres National Forest and private lands in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties burning 58,401 acres total. Most of total acreage burned during the first 48 hours after ignition. The fire reached its final boundary on October 26, and was fully contained on November 3. Because of the speed of this fire suppression impacts on National Forest land were limited to two miles of dozer line on the Angeles N.F., and some hand line and water/retardant drops along the west side of the fire on the Los Padres N. F. Approximately 14,000 acres burned on the Los Padres National Forest, 13,000 acres burned on the Angeles National Forest, 1900 acres on the Hopper Mountain Wildlife Refuge, 1400 acres on BLM land, and 28,000 on private land near Val Verde and Hasley Canyon. The Los Padres manages 8000 acres of the Angeles National Forest within the burn perimeter and east of Piru Creek. Fifth­field watersheds within the Ranch Fire area used for BAER analysis include: Castaic, Sespe Creek, middle Santa Clara River and lower Piru Creek. The BAER team leader was assigned on October 23 and assembled a team which finalized field work for soils and hydrology by October 30 with other field work finalized on November 1.

  • Los Angeles County
    Steelhead/rainbow trout resources of Los Angeles County Arroyo Sequit Arroyo Sequit consists of about 3.3 stream miles. The arroyo is formed by the confluence of the East and West forks, from where it flows south to enter the Pacific Ocean east of Sequit Point. As part of a survey of 32 southern coastal watersheds, Arroyo Sequit was surveyed in 1979. The O. mykiss sampled were between about two and 6.5 inches in length. The survey report states, “Historically, small steelhead runs have been reported in this area” (DFG 1980). It also recommends, “…future upstream water demands and construction should be reviewed to insure that riparian and aquatic habitats are maintained” (DFG 1980). Arroyo Sequit was surveyed in 1989-1990 as part of a study of six streams originating in the Santa Monta Mountains. The resulting report indicates the presence of steelhead and states, “Low streamflows are presently limiting fish habitat, particularly adult habitat, and potential fish passage problems exist…” (Keegan 1990a, p. 3-4). Staff from DFG surveyed Arroyo Sequit in 1993 and captured O. mykiss, taking scale and fin samples for analysis. The individuals ranged in length between about 7.7 and 11.6 inches (DFG 1993). As reported in a distribution study, a 15-17 inch trout was observed in March 2000 in Arroyo Sequit (Dagit 2005). Staff from NMFS surveyed Arroyo Sequit in 2002 as part of a study of steelhead distribution. An adult steelhead was observed during sampling (NMFS 2002a). Additional documentation of steelhead using the creek between 2000-2007 was provided by Dagit et al.
