Proposal to Prepare Prepared Proposal to Prepare GROUNDWATER SUSTAINABILITY PLAN OWENS VALLEY GROUNDWATER BASIN Prepared for County of Inyo Water Department Prepared by William R. Hutchison Independent Groundwater Consultant July 2018 Cover Letter July 30, 2018 Mr. Bob Harrington, Director Inyo County Water Department 135 S. Jackson Street Independence, California 93526 Subject: LSCE Team Proposal for Support Services to Develop a Groundwater Sustainability Plan for the Owens Valley Groundwater Basin Dear Mr. Harrington: Luhdorff & Scalmanini Consulting Engineers (LSCE), in association with TEAM Engineering and Management Inc., Dr. Bill Hutchison, Pacific Agroecology, Consensus and Collaboration Program (CCP), and ERA Economics (ERA) are pleased to submit this proposal in response to the June 20, 2018 Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to develop a single Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) for the Owens Valley Groundwater Basin. To assist the Owens Valley Groundwater Authority (OVGA, exclusive GSA for the Basin) with the development of a GSP, we have assembled this team of highly experienced firms. LSCE will serve as the prime contractor; TEAM will provide local support for many tasks in the scope; Bill Hutchison will support tasks relating to water budget analyses and lead the task related to evaluation of existing groundwater flow models and recommendations; Pacific Agroecology (PAE) will support tasks related to outreach to beneficial users, particularly as related to groundwater dependent ecosystems and fish habitat and ecological considerations; the Consensus and Collaboration Program (CCP) group will lead the preparation of a public engagement plan and activities necessary to comply with SGMA requirements for public outreach and communication; and ERA will prepare a cost and rate study and provide a preliminary evaluation of the economic and financial feasibility of projects and potential management actions. This proposal includes a scope and budget for developing a GSP to fulfill the requirements of the 2014 Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) and the GSP regulations. We also recognize the critical need for the GSP to be compatible with the Inyo County/Los Angeles Long- Term Water Agreement. The proposed scope closely follows the tasks outlined in the RFQ complemented by two potential optional elements described in greater detail. We anticipate working closely with the OVGA to prepare the GSP, including to scale the GSP content to the budget as needed to align with available funding. The information presented in this proposal addresses the required information as delineated in the RFQ, and the table of contents in the proposal identifies the proposal’s main sections and organization. The firms comprising the LSCE Team have a long history work in and familiarity with the Owens Valley. • LSCE’s experience in Owens Valley includes historical projects (late 1980s and 1990s) involving monitoring well construction, aquifer testing to assess impacts of proposed pumping on water levels and spring flow in a wetlands area, and utilizing a groundwater LSCE Team Proposal to Develop a GSP for the Owens Valley Groundwater Basin flow model developed by Dr. Bill Hutchison when he served as Inyo County’s hydrologist and subsequently was a hydrologist at LSCE. LSCE was involved in the development of groundwater management plans for the water resources of the Owens Valley with the objective of protecting the environmental resources of the Valley while providing for surface and groundwater development for export to Los Angeles. • TEAM was founded in 1987 in Bishop, California and has served clients in the Eastern Sierra and the Owens Valley for more than 30 years and continues to do so. • Dr. Hutchison brings substantial knowledge of the historical hydrology of the Owens Valley and technical procedures that have been implemented for nearly 30 years as part of the Inyo County/LA Water Agreement. • PAE’s experience in the Owens Valley region includes development of three regional geodatabases and subsequent analyses for plant species distributions, fish species distributions, and meadow delineations. Dr. David Herbst, PAE Research Biologist, has conducted numerous aquatic habitat studies in the Owens Valley from 1997 through 2012, including Owens Lake basin seeps and springs and flood irrigated ponds and wetlands, stream bioassessment surveys, and surveys of the Upper Owens River related to the distribution of non-native New Zealand Mud Snail. • CCP has facilitated the Owens lakebed advisory committee to help refine a proposed “master project” for the lakebed that would include dust control, habitat enhancement, surface water conservation by accessing groundwater for a portion of the dust control, and public access and recreation elements. CCP has facilitated and managed the GSA formation in Owens Valley. Some team members have offices located in or near the Owens Valley enabling close coordination during GSP development. The LSCE Team will successfully perform the broad range of services that will be critical for the development of a SGMA-compliant GSP and establish the framework for effective long-term management of groundwater resources in the Owens Valley Groundwater Basin. We very much appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal. _____________________________________ ____________________________________ Luhdorff & Scalmanini, Consulting Engineers Luhdorff & Scalmanini Consulting Engineers Vicki Kretsinger Grabert, President Peter Leffler, PG, CHG, Principal Hydrogeologist (530) 661-0109 Project Manager for Owens Valley Groundwater Basin Groundwater Sustainability Plan LSCE Team Proposal to Develop a GSP for the Owens Valley Groundwater Basin Table of Contents Cover Letter ............................................................................................................................... 1 INTRODUCTION ................................................................................................................... 1 A.

(TEAM), Dr. Bill Hutchison, Pacific Agroecology (PAE), Collaboration and Consensus Program (CCP), and ERA Economics (ERA) have assembled this team to provide the County of Inyo Water Department with support services to develop a single Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) for the Owens Valley Groundwater Basin on behalf of the Owens Valley Groundwater Authority (OVGA). The LSCE Team understands the OVGA is a joint powers authority formed to implement the requirements of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) for the Owens Valley Groundwater Basin, and intends to develop a single comprehensive, regulatory compliant GSP for the entire Basin. The OVGA is in the process of becoming the designated, exclusive Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) for the entire Basin (notice posted June 27, 2018). While the OVGA attains status as the exclusive GSA, the contract to prepare the Owens Valley Groundwater Basin GSP will be with the County of Inyo Water Department. Recognizing the OVGA intends to become the exclusive GSA, the LSCE Team refers to the OVGA as the designated GSA. The LSCE Team understands that the OVGA GSA seeks the necessary support to complete technical work and corresponding outreach to develop a compliant, effective, and defensible GSP. Our team is comprised of highly experienced firms with expertise relating to water resources analysis and management. The LSCE Team is pleased to bring a long history of work conducted in the Owens Valley, extending from many decades ago to today. Our team is highly familiar with the provisions of LSCE Team Proposal

The trip included visiting Owens Lake, the Owens Valley Visitor Center, Lower Owens Restoration Project (LORP), LA DWP Owens River Diversion, Alabama Gates, Southern California Edison Rush Creek Power Plant, Mono Lake and Visitor Center, June Mountain, Rush Creek Restoration, and the Bishop Paiute Reservation Restoration Ponds and Visitor Center. In preparation for the field trip, students received lectures, read their textbook, and watched the film Cadillac Desert about the history of the City of Los Angeles, its explosive population growth in the late 1800’s, and need to secure reliable sources of water. The class also received a summary of the history of water exploitation in the Owens Valley and Field Guide. For example, in 1900, William Mulholland, Chief Engineer for the City of Los Angeles, identified the Owens River, which drains the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains, as a reliable source of water to support Los Angeles’ growing population. To secure the water rights, Los Angeles secretly purchased much of the land in the Owens Valley. In 1913, the City of Los Angeles completed the construction of the 223 mile, gravity-flow, Los Angeles Aqueduct that delivered Owens River water to Los Angeles.

  • Eocene Origin of Owens Valley, California
    geosciences Article Eocene Origin of Owens Valley, California Francis J. Sousa College of Earth, Oceans, and Atmospheric Sciences, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA; [email protected] Received: 22 March 2019; Accepted: 26 April 2019; Published: 28 April 2019 Abstract: Bedrock (U-Th)/He data reveal an Eocene exhumation difference greater than four kilometers athwart Owens Valley, California near the Alabama Hills. This difference is localized at the eastern fault-bound edge of the valley between the Owens Valley Fault and the Inyo-White Mountains Fault. Time-temperature modeling of published data reveal a major phase of tectonic activity from 55 to 50 Ma that was of a magnitude equivalent to the total modern bedrock relief of Owens Valley. Exhumation was likely accommodated by one or both of the Owens Valley and Inyo-White Mountains faults, requiring an Eocene structural origin of Owens Valley 30 to 40 million years earlier than previously estimated. This analysis highlights the importance of constraining the initial and boundary conditions of geologic models and exemplifies that this task becomes increasingly difficult deeper in geologic time. Keywords: low-temperature thermochronology; western US tectonics; quantitative thermochronologic modeling 1. Introduction The accuracy of initial and boundary conditions is critical to the development of realistic models of geologic systems. These conditions are often controlled by pre-existing features such as geologic structures and elements of topographic relief. Features can develop under one tectono-climatic regime and persist on geologic time scales, often controlling later geologic evolution by imposing initial and boundary conditions through mechanisms such as the structural reactivation of faults and geomorphic inheritance of landscapes (e.g., [1,2]).

  • The History of Valentine Camp by Mary Farrell
    History of Valentine Camp Mary M. Farrell Trans-Sierran Archaeological Research P.O. Box 840 Lone Pine, CA 93545 November 7, 2015 Prepared for Valentine Eastern Sierra Reserve University of California, Santa Barbara, Natural Reserve System Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory 1016 Mt. Morrison Road Mammoth Lakes, CA 93546 Abstract Located in Mammoth Lakes, California, Valentine Camp and the nearby Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory form the Valentine Eastern Sierra Reserve, a field research station in the University of California's Natural Reserve System. The University’s tenure at Valentine Camp began over 40 years ago, but the area’s history goes back thousands of years. Before the arrival of Euroamericans in the nineteenth century, the region was home to Paiutes and other Native American tribes. Land just east of Valentine Camp was surveyed under contract with the United States government in 1856, and mineral deposits in the mountains just west of Valentine Camp brought hundreds of miners to the vicinity in the last decades of the nineteenth century. Even as mining in the region waned, grazing increased. The land that became Valentine Camp was patented in 1897 by Thomas Williams, a rancher and capitalist who lived in Owens Valley. It was Williams’s son, also Thomas, who sold the 160 acres to Valentine Camp’s founders. Those founders were very wealthy, very influential men in southern California who could have, and did, vacation wherever they wanted. Anyone familiar with the natural beauty of Mammoth Lakes would not be surprised that they chose to spend time at Valentine Camp. Valentine Camp was donated to the University of California Natural Land and Water Reserve System (now the Natural Reserve System) in 1972 to ensure the land’s continued protection.

  • Boyhood Days in the Owens Valley 1890-1908
    Boyhood Days in the Owens Valley 1890-1908 Beyond the High Sierra and near the Nevada line lies Inyo County, California—big, wild, beautiful, and lonely. In its center stretches the Owens River Valley, surrounded by the granite walls of the Sierra Nevada to the west and the White Mountains to the east. Here the remote town of Bishop hugs the slopes of towering Mount Tom, 13,652 feet high, and here I was born on January 6, 1890. When I went to college, I discovered that most Californians did not know where Bishop was, and I had to draw them a map. My birthplace should have been Candelaria, Nevada, for that was where my parents were living in 1890. My father was an engineer in the Northern Belle silver mine. I was often asked, "Then how come you were born in Bishop?" and I replied, "Because my mother was there." The truth was that after losing a child at birth the year before, she felt Candelaria's medical care was not to be trusted. The decline in the price of silver, the subsequent depression, and the playing out of the mines in Candelaria forced the Albright family to move to Bishop permanently. We had a good life in Bishop. I loved it, was inspired by its aura, and always drew strength and serenity from it. I have no recollection of ever having any bad times. There weren't many special things to do, but what- ever we did, it was on horseback or afoot. Long hours were spent in school.

This basin is bounded by nonwater-bearing rocks of the Benton Range on the north, of the Coso Range on the south, of the Sierra Nevada on the west, and of the White and Inyo Mountians on the east (Jennings 1958; DWR 1964; Matthews and Burnett 1965; Strand 1967; Danskin 1998) This system of valleys is drained by several creeks to the Owens River, which flows southward into the Owens (dry) Lake, a closed drainage depression in the southern part of the Owens Valley. Average annual precipitation is 30 inches in the Sierra Nevada, 7 to 10 inches in the White and Inyo Mountains, and 4 to 6 inches on the Owens Valley floor (Groeneveld and others 1986a; 1986b; Duell 1990; Hollett and others 1991). Hydrogeologic Information Water Bearing Formations The water-bearing materials of this basin are sediments that fill the valley and reach at least 1,200 feet thick (DWR 1964). The primary productive unit is Quaternary in age and is separated into upper, lower and middle members (Danskin 1998). Upper Member. The upper member is composed of unconsolidated coarse alluvial fan material deposited along the margin of the basin, grading into layers of sand and silty clay of fluvial and lacustrine origin toward the axis of the basin.

  • All Grants Awarded Through Fiscal Year 2020 INTRODUCTION and KEY
    All Grants Awarded Through Fiscal Year 2020 INTRODUCTION AND KEY This report is a list of all grants awarded by the Colorado Historical Society’s State Historical Fund (SHF) since its inception in 1992 (state Fiscal Year 1993) through the end of Fiscal Year 2020. The amounts listed are the original award amounts. If for some reason the entire grant amount was not used (i.e. a project was terminated or was completed under budget) the full amount awarded will appear. In other instances grant awards were increased either to enable project completion or to cover the costs of easements. In these instances, the additional award amount is shown in a separate entry as an increase. In those cases where no work was accomplished and the funds were either declined by the grant recipient or were required to be returned to the SHF through rescissions, no entry will appear. For this reason, projects listed in one version of this report may not appear in later versions, and the financial information shown in this report may not be comparable to other revenue reports issued by the SHF. Grants listed in this report are identified by project ID number. The first two characters in the project ID number represent the fiscal year from which the grant was scheduled to be paid. The state is on a July 1 – June 30 fiscal year. So, for example, all grants made between July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007 will be coded “07”. The next two characters identify the type of grant. In the case of grants that are awarded based on specific application due dates, the grant round in which the project was funded will be paired with either a letter or number.
