PREFACE The California Energy Commission’s Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) Program supports public interest energy research and development that will help improve the quality of life in California by bringing environmentally safe, affordable, and reliable energy services and products to the marketplace. The PIER Program conducts public interest research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) projects to benefit California. The PIER Program strives to conduct the most promising public interest energy research by partnering with RD&D entities, including individuals, businesses, utilities, and public or private research institutions. PIER funding efforts are focused on the following RD&D program areas: Buildings End-Use Energy Efficiency Energy Innovations Small Grants Energy-Related Environmental Research Energy Systems Integration Environmentally Preferred Advanced Generation Industrial/Agricultural/Water End-Use Energy Efficiency Renewable Energy Technologies Transportation In 2003, the California Energy Commission’s PIER Program established the California Climate Change Center to document climate change research relevant to the states. This center is a virtual organization with core research activities at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the University of California, Berkeley, complemented by efforts at other research institutions. Priority research areas defined in PIER’s Climate Change Research Plan are: monitoring, analysis, and modeling of climate; improved methods to estimate greenhouse gas emissions; analysis of options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; and impacts and adaptation studies.

Depending upon the rate of future sea-level rise, changes in wave energy, and coastal storm intensity and frequency, these hazards will be likely become more severe, with increasing risks to coastal communities. This study assesses the vulnerability of the City of Santa Barbara to future sea-level rise and related coastal hazards (by 2050 and 2100) based upon past events, shoreline topography, and exposure to sea-level rise and wave attack. It also evaluates the likely impacts of coastal hazards to specific areas of the City, analyzes their risks and the City’s ability to respond, and recommends potential adaptation responses. By 2050, the risk of wave damage to shoreline development and infrastructure in Santa Barbara will be high. Options are limited and adaptive capacity will be moderate, with retreat being the most viable long-term option. By 2100, the risk will become very high. By 2050, flooding and inundation of low-lying coastal areas will present a moderate risk to the City by 2050, which will have a moderate capacity for adaptation. If the high sea levels projected by the State occur, this risk will become very high, and adaptive capacity will become low by 2100. Cliff erosion has been taking place for decades, and as this process continues or increases, additional public and private property in the Mesa area will be threatened. The risk of increased cliff erosion will be moderate by 2050 and very high by 2100. Because armoring is ineffective here and retreat necessitates the relocation of structures, adaptive capacity will be low. Inundation of beaches presents a low threat to the City by 2050 but a high threat by 2100. The City faces a dilemma: protect oceanfront development and infrastructure or remove barriers and let beaches migrate inland. By 2100 structures will have to be moved if beaches are to be maintained.

  • The Goleta Slough Watershed a Review of Data Collected from October 2005 Through September 2006 by Santa Barbara Channelkeeper's Goleta Stream Team by Al Leydecker
    The Goleta Slough Watershed A review of data collected from October 2005 through September 2006 by Santa Barbara Channelkeeper's Goleta Stream Team by Al Leydecker Introduction The streams that drain the Goleta Slough watershed transport pollutants such as bacteria and excess nutrients down to the slough and ocean, and the purpose of Santa Barbara Channelkeeper's Stream Team program is to provide comprehensive monitoring of this ecologically important catchment. The Goleta Stream Team began in the summer of 2002 as a partnership program of Santa Barbara Channelkeeper and the Isla Vista Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation. The program has three goals: to collect baseline information about the health of the watershed; to help identify sources of pollution; and to educate and train a force of watershed stewards in the local community. Stream Team conducts monthly on-site testing at designated locations on streams tributary to the Goleta Slough and in the slough itself. Near the beginning of each month, teams of volunteers measure physical and chemical parameters using portable, hand-held instruments. Data collected include on-site measurements of dissolved oxygen, turbidity, conductivity, pH, temperature and flow. Water samples are collected at each site and later processed in Channelkeeper's laboratory for three Public Health bacterial indicators using approved standard methodology (Colilert-18 and Enterolert-24, manufactured by Idexx Laboratories; US-EPA, 2003). Additional samples are analyzed for nutrients through the cooperation of the Santa Barbara Channel – Long Term Ecological Research Project (SBC-LTER) at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The nutrient parameters measured are ammonium, nitrite plus nitrate, orthophosphate, total dissolved nitrogen and total dissolved phosphorus.

  • Introduction Planning Implications
    DRAFT 4 City of Goleta, California May 2004 BACKGROUND REPORT NO. 24 Hydrology and Water Quality INTRODUCTION This background report describes the hydrological characteristics of the City of Goleta. The City of Goleta’s hydrological features consist of creeks and associated flood plains, ponds, wetlands, and the Ocean. While this report provides an overview of these resources, other reports examine particular areas or issues in the City in greater depth. These reports include Ellwood Mesa Open Space Plan and the related Environmental Impact Report; Comstock Homes Development and Ellwood Mesa Open Space Plan, March 2004, Goleta Slough Ecosystem Management Plan, December 1997, and Water Quality Analysis Report, County of Santa Barbara, December 2003. PLANNING IMPLICATIONS Since hydrological features shape the land forms of an area, these features contribute to the physical character of the community. Hydrological forces create these land forms through processes such as erosion and flooding. These processes in turn pose constraints and hazards for use and development. Water, as the basis for all life, creates the environment for the community’s biological resources and ecology. Modification of the hydrological system, either by physical alteration or by change in water quality, will affect these biological systems. The potential of adverse impacts associated with development is an important constraint on how land might be used, developed or managed. Water and its quality affects other aspects of the quality of life since water is the basis of many recreational activities. City of Goleta, California XXIV-1 General Plan Report: Hydrology GENERAL TOPOGRAPHY AND DRAINAGE The City of Goleta is situated in the western portion of the Goleta Valley.

  • Part 2 – Background (Through 2014)
    Goleta Slough Area Sea Level Rise and Management Plan Background PART 2 – BACKGROUND (THROUGH 2014) 2.1 Location and Relationship to Surrounding Areas 2.1.1 Goleta Slough Goleta Slough is located in southern Santa Barbara County between the Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. The Slough is the northernmost example of a large Southern California estuary and represents the northern limit of distribution for several plant and animal species (Zedler, 1982). It includes the Goleta Slough Ecological Reserve and the Goleta Slough State Marine Conservation Area, both of which are managed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). The general location of the Slough is shown in Figure 2-1, General Location of the GSEMP Area. In addition to its biological importance, Goleta Slough provides many other functions and values including floodwater storage capacity, filtering of pollutants contained in stormwater runoff, open space, and educational and scientific opportunities. The area is also rich in cultural and historic resources. The Slough is designated an Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA) in planning documents, as are most of the creeks that drain into it. The Slough’s watershed is about 45 square miles and includes the drainages of seven creeks: Atascadero, Carneros, Las Vegas, Maria Ygnacia, San Jose, San Pedro and Tecolotito Creeks (See Figure 2-14, Watersheds). Goleta Slough was historically an embayment of approximately 18 square miles in size. The name “Goleta” means schooner in Spanish, reflecting the history of the area when Goleta Slough was a bay with boats sailing inland close to what is now Hollister Avenue.

Cont. p5 Horse transport between Britain and the EU has become much more complicated | Getty Images By Emma Berry While Britain, Ireland and France are competing nations in the racing and breeding world, in recent years the Tripartite Agreement (TPA) has significantly eased the regular interaction between the three, particularly in regard to transporting broodmares and racehorses. The TPA recognised the high health status of Thoroughbreds and allowed for free equine movement between the countries. All that changed, however, when Britain=s departure from the European Union was finalised with the end of the transition period on Dec.
