  • The Mighty Yuba River
    The Mighty Yuba River The sounds of the Yuba River as it slowly winds its way down stream, are both peaceful and relaxing. But, upstream, the river sings quite a different song. The river begins as three separate forks, the north, south, and middle, high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The forks flow wildly through canyons and channels, over boulders and rock bars, and will occasionally rest in pools of clear green water. There are two stories as to how the river was named. One story, tells of a scoutinggp expedition finding wild g gpgrapes growing on the river’s banks. They called the river, Rio de las Uvas (the grapes). “Uvas” was later changed to Yuba. A second story, tells of an ancestral village named Yuba, belonging to the Maidu tribe, that was located where the Feather River joins the Yuba River. The river has changed a great deal over the years. It was mined extensively during the Gold Rush and once ran abundant with Chinook salmon and steelhead trout. Mining on the Yuba River is more recreational today and the Chinook salmon and steelhead still have a strong presence in the river. The Yuba River is also part of the Yuba Watershed. It’s truly an amazing river that has many more stories to tell. th ©University of California, 2009, Zoe E. Beaton.

  • Yuba River Scenic Byway Corridor Management Plan
    CHAPTER 7 – INTERPRETIVE PLAN Interpretation Interpretation is ‘value added’ to a byway experience. Effective interpretation forges a connection between the visitor and the byway. It provides a memorable moment for the visitor to take home – a thought, image or a concept that reminds them of their experience. It helps them to recognize the byway as a unique and special place and to see and appreciate attributes that may not be readily apparent. It encourages them to spend more time and to return or tell their friends about their experience. The sustainable recreation framework (2010) highlights interpretation as one of the most important agency tools to develop deeper engagement between Americans and their natural resources. Visitor Needs Visitor needs are typically arranged into a hierarchy: orientation, information and interpretation. Once a visitor is comfortable and oriented they are receptive to interpretive information. Orientation and general information will be addressed as part of this interpretive planning effort. Orientation The first priority for visitors is to understand where they are and where they can meet their basic needs – restrooms, food, lodging. This orientation information is typically placed at either end of a byway in the form of signage or at visitor information centers. It is a part of welcoming the visitor and assists them in planning their experience. Information After basic orientation, visitors typically seek general information about the area, including the locations of points of interest and other options for how they may choose to spend their time. These locations where the visitor is likely to stop, dictate where and in what form interpretation is appropriate.

  • Philanthropy Just at the Restore Wildlands, Wild Rivers and Leverage Public and Private Funds for Moment in History When Sierra Conservation
    The Sierra Fund SAVING THE SIERRA 2001-2005 . Organizational Report Our Mission The mission of The Sierra Fund is to protect and preserve the Sierra Nevada. As an innovative community foundation for the environment, we do this by partnering with private donors and public agencies to increase and organize investment in the land, air, water and human resources of the Sierra Nevada. Our Philosophy The Sierra Fund ~ • Works to develop new sources of individual, foundation and corporate funding to help solve the region’s environmental crises. • Expands the capacity of community-based organizations already hard at work protecting the Sierra Nevada, helping to ensure their success and sustainability. • Supports a full toolbox of conservation solutions aimed at effective action, from community organizing, collaboration and education to litigation and legislative advocacy. • Leverages private financial capital to inspire larger, long-term public conservation investments in the resources of the Sierra Nevada. www.sierrafund.org Front cover photo of the South Fork American River. The Sierra Fund successfully advocated for $2 million in state funds in partnership with the American River Conservancy to complete acquisition of 2,315 acres and finish the 8-mile trail from Salmon Falls to the Gold Discovery Park. DEAR FRIENDS OF THE SIERRA, The Sierra Nevada, the jeweled crown of California, is a rugged, 400-mile-long mountain range that borders the state’s eastern edge. Dubbed the “Range of Light” by John Muir more than 100 years ago, the Sierra inspires the human imagination and powers the human spirit. This range features the tallest mountains in the continental United States and boasts the singular jewels of Lake Tahoe and Yosemite Valley.

  • 4.7 Hydrology and Water Quality
    4.7 Hydrology and Water Quality 4.7 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY This section evaluates potential hydrology and water quality impacts that could result from the proposed SOI Plan update (proposed project). Information in this section comes from County of Nevada GIS mapping analysis as well as existing federal, state, and local regulations. The evaluation includes a discussion of the proposed project compatibility with these required applicable regulations and provides mitigation measures, if needed and as appropriate that would reduce these impacts. The following analysis of the potential environmental impacts related to hydrology and water quality is derived primarily from the following sources and agencies: • Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA); • United State Army Corps of Engineers (USACE); • State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB); • Regional Water Resources Control Board (RWQCB); • California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW); • Nevada City Zoning Ordinance 4.7.1 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The area climate generally consists of dry and mild to hot summers and relatively wet winters. In the upper elevation around Nevada City (City) and Grass Valley, snow levels are usually above 5,000 ft. The averages minimum and monthly maximum temperatures of from the Nevada City area in the foothills to the valley area near the Town of Lincoln from approximately 26 to 93 degrees Fahrenheit (oF). The proposed SOI Plan update area is in the eastern portion of the service area and encircles the City. In this area, the City’s jurisdictional boundaries include approximately 1,470 incorporated acres (2018, Nevada County GIS data) and the current SOI (exclusive of the incorporated area) includes approximately 2,702 acres.

  • Chapter 20-Indian Trust Assets
    CHAPTER 20 INDIAN TRUST ASSETS ITAs are legal interests in property held in trust by the United States for federally recognized Indian tribes or individual Indians. An Indian Trust has three components: (1) the trustee; (2) the beneficiary; and (3) the trust asset. ITAs can include land, minerals, federally reserved hunting and fishing rights, federally reserved water rights, and instream flows associated with trust land. Beneficiaries of the Indian Trust relationship are federally recognized Indian tribes with trust land; the United States is the trustee. By definition, ITAs cannot be sold, leased, or otherwise encumbered without approval of the United States. The characterization and application of the United States trust relationship have been defined by case law that interprets Congressional acts, executive orders, and historic treaty provisions. All bureaus are responsible for, among other things, identifying any impact of their plans, projects, programs or activities on ITAs; ensuring that potential impacts are explicitly addressed in planning, decision, and operational documents; and consulting with recognized tribes who may be affected by proposed activities. Consistent with this, Reclamation's Indian Trust policy states that Reclamation will carry out its activities in a manner which protects ITAs and avoids adverse impacts when possible, or provides appropriate mitigation or compensation when it is not. To carry out this policy, Reclamation incorporated procedures into its NEPA compliance procedures to require evaluation of the potential effects of its proposed actions on trust assets (Reclamation 1997). 20.1 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING/AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT Information regarding traditional cultural properties, historic properties, ITAs, and ethnographic resources located in the project area can be used to characterize the prehistoric, ethnographic, and historic cultural resources and ITAs that may be affected by implementation of the Proposed Project/Action and alternatives.
