    APPENDIX D Archival Study for the Fish Habitat Flows and Water Rights Project An Archival Study for the Fish Habitat Flows and Water Rights Project Mendocino and Sonoma Counties, California Eileen Barrow, M.A. June 6, 2016 An Archival Study for the Fish Habitat Flows and Water Rights Project Mendocino and Sonoma Counties, California Prepared by: _________________________________ Eileen Barrow, M.A. Tom Origer & Associates Post Office Box 1531 Rohnert Park, California 94927 (707) 584-8200 Prepared for: Sonoma County Water Agency 404 Aviation Santa Rosa, California 95407 June 6, 2016 ABSTRACT Tom Origer & Associates conducted an archival study for the Fish Habitat Flows and Water Rights Project, as requested by the Sonoma County Water Agency. This study was designed to meet requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. Per the findings of the National Marine Fisheries Service (2008), the Sonoma County Water Agency is seeking to improve Coho salmon and steelhead habitat in the Russian River and Dry Creek by modifying the minimum instream flow requirements specified by the State Water Resources Control Board's 1986 Decision 1610. The current study includes a ⅛ mile buffer around Lake Mendocino, Lake Sonoma, the Russian River from Coyote Valley Dam to the Pacific Ocean, and Dry Creek from Warm Springs Dam to the Russian River. The study included archival research at the Northwest Information Center, Sonoma State University (NWIC File No. 15-1481); archival research at the Museum of Paleontology, University of California, Berkeley; examination of the library and files of Tom Origer & Associates; and contact with the Native American community. Documentation pertaining to this study is on file at the offices of Tom Origer & Associates (File No.

  • 4.8 Cultural Resources
    4.0 Environmental Setting, Impacts, and Mitigation Measures 4.8 Cultural Resources 4.8.1 Introduction This section reviews the existing conditions related to cultural resources in the Russian River Estuary (Estuary Management Project or proposed project) area and presents the potential impacts on cultural and paleontological resources. As previously noted in Chapter 2.0, Project Description, the Estuary Study Area comprises the Russian River Estuary (Estuary), which extends approximately seven miles from the mouth of the Russian River upstream to Duncans Mills just beyond the confluence of Austin Creek. Under certain closed conditions, the Estuary may backwater to Monte Rio, and as far upstream as Vacation Beach. Where appropriate, discussion of cultural resource impacts within the Estuary Study Area and the larger maximum backwater area, which extends upstream past Austin Creek approximately to Vacation Beach, is provided (Please refer to Figure 2-3 in Chapter 2.0, Project Description). Cultural resources include prehistoric and ethnographic Native American archaeological sites, historic-period archaeological sites, historic-period buildings and structures, and elements or areas of the natural landscape that have traditional cultural significance. A paleontological resource is defined as fossilized remains of vertebrate and invertebrate organisms, fossil tracks, and plant fossils. The section also describes the federal, state, and local regulations related to cultural and paleontological resources that would apply to the proposed project. 4.8.2 Setting Prehistoric Context Categorizing the prehistoric period into broad cultural stages allows researchers to describe a broad range of archaeological resources with similar cultural patterns and components during a given timeframe, thereby creating a regional chronology.

  • Russian River Estuary Management Project Draft
    4.0 Environmental Setting, Impacts, and Mitigation Measures 4.4 Biological Resources 4.4.1 Introduction This section describes biological resources, with focus on terrestrial and wetland resources, and assesses potential impacts that could occur with implementation of the Russian River Estuary Management Project (Estuary Management Project or proposed project). Fisheries resources are addressed in Section 4.5, Fisheries. Terrestrial and wetland resources include terrestrial, wetland, and non-fisheries-related species, sensitive habitats or natural communities, special-status plant and animal species, and protected trees. Impacts on terrestrial and wetland resources are analyzed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) significance criteria (CEQA Guidelines, Appendix G). For impacts determined to be either significant or potentially significant, mitigation measures to minimize or avoid these impacts are identified. Information Sources and Survey Methodology The primary sources of information for this analysis are the existing biological resource studies and reports prepared for the Russian River Estuary (Estuary) (Heckel, 1994; Merritt Smith Consulting, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000; Sonoma County Water Agency [Water Agency; SCWA in references] and Merritt Smith Consulting 2001; SCWA, 2006; SCWA and Stewards of the Coast and Redwoods, 2009). These reports, incorporated by reference, present the methods and results of vegetation classification and mapping, fish and invertebrate sampling, amphibian surveys, and observations of bird and pinniped1 numbers and behavior, as well as other sampling efforts (e.g., water quality sampling) conducted in the Russian River Estuary. In addition to the reports listed above, information was obtained from conservation and management plans and planning documents prepared for lands within the project vicinity (Prunuske Chatham, Inc., 2005; California Department of Parks and Recreation [State Parks], 2007), as well as the U.S.

Date: Street Address City, State, Zip A CULTURAL RESOURCES INVENTORY AND MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR SONOMA LAND TRUSTtS LITTLE BLACK MOUNTAIN PROPERTY Thesis by Leslie E. Smirnoff ABSTRACT PURPOSE OF THESIS: The aims of this thesis are to provide Sonoma Land Trust with a cultural resources management plan that will fit neatly both into any regulatory framework that may become pertinent and with Sonoma Land Trust's mission and future plans for the Little Black Mountain property. Additionally, this document outlines the resources present on the property and discusses potential impacts to them while recommending ways to preserve them. The purpose of a cultural resources inventory and management plan is often in fulfillment of regulatory compliance with the aim of protecting cultural resources. In this case, Sonoma Land Trust is not under any legal mandate to create a plan, but due to a number of known and unexpected cultural resources discoveries on the Little Black Mountain property t the necessity for a management tool that would aid in the preservation of these resources came to light.

February 2013 Page 1 of 53 WELCOME Thank you for your interest, dedication, and contribution towards the Stewards of the Coast and Redwoods (Stewards) Seabird Monitoring Program. The information you will gather is essential for sustaining these unique marine animals. In addition, your observations and actions are integral towards rebuilding a tenuous relationship between people and their marine habitat. Literature, art and culture have long reflected the connections that humans have with seabirds. Many of us first heard of the albatross in high school when we read Rime of the Ancient Mariner or we became enchanted with gulls through the book Jonathan Livingston Seagull. But the human seabird relationship began long before the advent of literature. Oral traditions tell us of the connection Californian Native Americans had with seabirds. The birds’ long migrations and seasonal appearances heralded change and elicited celebration. In southern California, Native American Chumash regalia consisted of skirts made of cormorant skins sewn together. California rock art from thousands of years ago depicts cormorants as a ceremonial creature to be honored. Historically seabirds served as indicators for peoples living on the coasts. Polynesians depended on these animals to find landmasses as they paddled vast oceans in canoes. Fishermen relied upon marine birds to find fish shoals and underwater banks. Hunters captured seabirds for food or to use as bait, while other hunting cultures used cormorants directly to attain food.
