Bear Creek Riparian Restoration [ds2816]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Every year since 2002, members of the BCWG have participated in the international education and outreach program, World Water Monitoring Day, by collecting basic water quality measurements at eleven locations along Bear, Ash and Lack creeks within the Bear Creek Watershed. During this once-per-year monitoring event, BCWG members observed areas with little riparian cover and high water temperatures. These high water temperatures adversely affect the aquatic ecosystems and fishery of Bear Creek. Additionally, this lack of riparian vegetation makes stream banks more susceptible to erosion and ultimately leads to increased sediment delivery to the river.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Building on the existing conditions documented in the Bear Creek Watershed Assessment, and the restoration goals and objectives identified in the Management Strategy, the BCWG proposes to purchase equipment to record diurnal stream temperatures, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity and electrical conductivity throughout the anadromous reaches of Bear Creek. The BCWG will use this temperature and water quality data to guide riparian revegetation efforts in developing a shading riparian canopy that will protect and enhance cold water resources within the range of anadromy.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Implementing stream monitoring and riparian planting at this time meets several objectives outlined in the Bear Creek Watershed Management Strategy including:</SPAN></P><UL><LI><P STYLE="font-size:16pt"><SPAN STYLE="font-size:10pt">Implement temperature monitoring aimed at defining the existing temperature regime both seasonally and spatially;</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P STYLE="font-size:16pt"><SPAN STYLE="font-size:10pt">Collect baseline data and monitor temperature and flow as they relate to fish abundance;</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P STYLE="font-size:16pt"><SPAN STYLE="font-size:10pt">Rehabilitate habitat with projects that are adaptively integrated with other goals of the Management Strategy;</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P STYLE="font-size:16pt"><SPAN STYLE="font-size:10pt">Develop public outreach programs to educate Bear Creek Watershed residents and government agencies and officials about the efforts of the BCWG to maintain and improve watershed health.</SPAN></P></LI></UL><P><SPAN>Implementing a restoration project of this type would also help identify areas in the watershed that are consistently in poorer condition to enable the development of restoration prescriptions (stream/ riparian/ sediment source reductions) that can improve those conditions.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Large-Blotched Salamander Range - CWHR A012b [ds2847]

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>Vector datasets of CWHR range maps are one component of California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR), a comprehensive information system and predictive model for California's wildlife. The CWHR System was developed to support habitat conservation and management, land use planning, impact assessment, education, and research involving terrestrial vertebrates in California. CWHR contains information on life history, management status, geographic distribution, and habitat relationships for wildlife species known to occur regularly in California. Range maps represent the maximum, current geographic extent of each species within California. They were originally delineated at a scale of 1:5,000,000 by species-level experts and have gradually been revised at a scale of 1:1,000,000.

i08 FaultCrossings SWP ObservationPoints

Fault Descriptions of locations crossing the California Aqueduct, Coastal Branch, North Bay Aqueduct, and South Bay Aqueduct. Taken from "State Water Project, California Aqueduct Fault Crossings" report (PG Report 50-00-06) and supplemental maps (PG Report 50-00-06A) dated November 18, 1965. Fault crossings were collected before and during construction of the State Water Project (SWP) to inform design, and have been compiled in this database for future use in repairs and design. This compilation covers the SWP from North of San Francisco Bay in Solano County to Riverside County, and includes the California Aqueduct, North and South Bay Aqueducts, Coastal Branch, and West Branch.

Salmonid Population Monitoring Areas - California - CMP [ds3001] Extended Table

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>The California Monitoring Plan (CMP) salmonid monitoring areas and associated population data are part of an ongoing effort to summarize existing and past salmonid monitoring efforts in the areas identified by Adams et al. 2011. These data are compiled and maintained by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife with the cooperation of monitoring practitioners. Updates and associated outreach are intended to occur on an annual basis. Data were created from several sources and existing datasets: some monitoring areas were accurately depicted using the USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), other monitoring areas were approximated using the monitoring point location and the USGS StreamStats tool to depict the watershed area above that point. The areas are intended to represent the approximate extent of sampling within sub-basins, watershed areas, or regions. For example, the spatial extent of monitoring using a fixed count station is approximated by accounting for all anadromous fish habitat upstream of the sampling location. Therefore, the area is approximated by entering the monitoring location coordinates into the StreamStats tool. The resulting shapefile is then examined to ensure the watershed area did not include habitat above dams or barriers to migration. Areas were clipped when needed. The data user should recognize that errors may have occurred during production of this dataset, changes may have occurred to the external sources used post transfer, and for other possible reasons. The population metrics summarized in the associated tabular data may be regarded as spatially limited, temporally limited, and not considered a complete estimate for the population being described. The data user is advised to refer to the annual reports cited in the Source field from the tabular data for additional details regarding monitoring within the area spatially depicted.</span></p><p><span style='font-weight:bold;'>Abbreviation Definitions:</span><span> SGS = Spawning Ground Survey, RM = River Mile, RST = Rotary Screw Trap, RKM = River Kilometer, FCS = Fixed Count Station, STH = Steelhead, CC = Coastal Chinook, DS = Downstream</span></p></div></div></div>

Vegetation - Auburn State Recreation Area [ds2956]

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>Tukman Geospatial LLC made this map under a subcontract from Space Imaging. Gary Walter was the contracting officer for the project at the Department of Parks and Recreation. The vegetation map was created using a combination of automated and manual techniques. Automated techniques included image segmentation, image classification, and GIS modeling. Manual techniques included manual editing and field work. Image segments were derived from 1-meter spatial resolution pansharpened IKONOS imagery, collected in the spring of 2004.  The classification is based on the Manual of California 1995, which used series translated to NVC Alliance concepts by Tukman Geospatial. </span></p><p><span>Automated techniques were used to create the polygon mapping units, or stand boundaries, for the project. The automatically created polygons are knows as segments and the process of creating them is called image segmentation. Segmentation produces good, consistent results and saves the labor of hand drawing stand boundaries on mylar over stereo air photos and then digitizing these hand drawn polygons. Over 14,000 image segments were automatically produced initially for this project using automated image segmentation. Image segments were derived from 1-meter spatial resolution pansharpened IKONOS imagery. The imagery was collected in the spring of 2004.</span></p><p><span>More information can be found in the project report here, that is bundled with the dataset: https://filelib.wildlife.ca.gov/Public/BDB/GIS/BIOS/Public_Datasets/2900_2999/ds2956.zip </span></p><p><span>The minimum mapping unit is 1.5 acres.</span></p></div></div></div>
