  • Section Q – Stormwater/Flooding Study
    Tule River Basin Integrated Regional Water Management Plan Section Q – Stormwater/Flooding Study Section Q – Stormwater/Flooding Study Q.1 Introduction Q.1.1 An Integrated Approach to Stormwater Management Stormwater management is an often-overlooked component of resource planning, however effective stormwater management can be used to meet a range of objectives. While traditional stormwater management typically occurs within a single agency on a local scale, an integrated approach to stormwater management focuses on facilitating collaboration between utility districts, land use agencies, and environmental interest groups to develop comprehensive stormwater management solutions. Q.1.2 What is Stormwater? Stormwater is defined by the US EPA as runoff that is generated form rain and snowmelt events that flow over land or impervious surfaces and does not soak into the ground. When water is not able to percolate into the ground, it is moved downhill by gravity until it reaches a common low point such as a stream, lake, or storm drain. The journey of stormwater from the point where precipitation hits the ground to the point it enters into local water bodies provides great opportunity for pollutants to be picked up and distributed into local surface water. Common pollutants found in storm sewers and creeks include motor oil, pesticides, brake dust, animal wastes, paint, and household chemicals. Because stormwater is not treated prior to being discharged, it can be a significant contributor to surface water pollution. In addition to degraded water quality, improper management of stormwater can result in increased flooding. Water that is unable to infiltrate into the soil runs off and ultimately accumulates in low lying areas where flooding occurs.

  • Tule River Indian Tribe Decision Letter
    United States Department of the Interior OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY Washington, DC 20240 DEC 11 2020 The Honorable Neil Peyron Chairman, Tule River Indian Tribe 340 N. Reservation Road Porterville, California 93275 Dear Chairman Peyron: In 2016, the Tule River Indian Tribe of the Tule River Reservation, California, (Tribe) submitted an application to the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), requesting that the United States acquire in trust approximately 40 acres of land known as the Airpark Site in the City of Porterville, Tulare County, California(Site). 1 The Tribe also requested a determination whether it is eligible to conduct gaming on the Site.2 The Tribe proposes to construct a casino-resort with a hotel, conference facilities, event center, and fire station (Proposed Project). The Proposed Project will replace the Tribe's existing on-reservation Eagle Mountain Casino, which the Tribe will then convert to educational, health care, and tribal government services. The Tribe will also construct a water reclamation facilityon a city-owned parcel adjacent to the Site. The facilitywill treat municipal wastewater to irrigate the playing fields of the neighboring Porterville Sports Complex, which is currently irrigated with the City's potable water. This facility will offset the Proposed Project's potable water demand and result in a net reduction in demand on the City's potable water supply. We have completed our review of the Tribe's request, the Regional Director's Findings of Fact, all comments received, and documentation in the record. As discussed below, I determine that the Site will be acquired in trust forthe benefit of the Tribe for gaming and other purposes pursuant to Section 5 of the Indian Reorganization Act, 25 U.S.C.
