  • Community Profile
    The City of Lancaster is situated approximately 60 miles north of the City of Los Angeles in the heart of the Antelope Valley. At an altitude of approximately 2500 feet, Lancaster enjoys the high desert climate in both the winter and the summer. A small dusting of snow is not uncommon in the winter and temperatures can reach over 100 degrees in the summer. These weather conditions foster the unique and beautiful vegetation in the Antelope Valley. Thousands of visitors come to Lancaster in the spring to enjoy our beautiful orange poppy fields amongst the world famous Joshua trees. The movie industry has captured the essence of high the desert in its multitude of movies that are shot here each year bringing many additional visitors to patronize our hotels and retail establishments. City of Lancaster 37 HISTORY Following the completion of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1867, Lancaster was established as a water stop along the route. In 1898, gold was discovered in the hills north of Lancaster and attracted many prospectors to the area. Some of the mines can still be seen and are still operational. Also in 1890, borax was found in what is now known as Boron, just to the north east of Lancaster. The world’s largest open-pit borax mine is still operational today. The 1930’s introduced the first airplane to the area and the Air Force started conducting flight tests at Muroc Air Base (now Edwards Air Force Base). (Aircraft pictures courtesy of NASA picture gallery) Today, the area is most recognized for its significant contributions in the aerospace industry.

  • Littlerock Reservoir Sediment Removal Project Final EIS/EIR
    Littlerock Reservoir Sediment Removal Project C. AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES Implementation of Alternative 1 would result in the same impacts to candidate, sensitive, or special- status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by CDFW, Forest Service, or USFWS species as described for the Project. Sensitive plants (Impact BIO-12) or invertebrates (Impact BIO-13) were not found in the disturbance area and would be subject to the same direct and indirect impacts as the Project. Implementation of Alternative 1 may result in a minor reduction in road kill to butterflies should they occur from fewer truck trips. Implementation of Alternative 1 would result in the same impacts to southwestern pond turtles (Impact BIO-14), two-striped garter snakes (Impact BIO-15), coast range newts (Impact BIO-16), and sensitive amphibian and reptile species (Impact BIO-17) as described for the Project. Reduced water levels required to construct in July could reduce habitat for these species in the Reservoir; however, fluctuating water levels at the reservoir occur during below-normal rain years. Implementation of Alternative 1 would result in the same impacts to burrowing owls (Impact BIO-18), special status nesting birds (Impact BIO-19), special status bats (Impact BIO-20), and other special-status mammals (Impact BIO-21, Impact BIO-22, and Impact BIO-23) or greater as described for the Project. The commencement of work on July 1 would increase the likelihood of disturbing active breeding birds or disrupt mammal denning or pupping should they occur. Implementation of the same SPCs for the Project would reduce impacts to biological resources identified under Criterion BIO 3 from Alternative 1.
