Los Angeles River Restoration and Access (LLARRA) Temperature Analysis - Lower Los Angeles River - 2024-2025

WCB Grant 2023114: Lower Los Angeles River Restoration and Access: Data includes one (1) year of temperature analysis to inform the design and serve as a baseline for restoration efforts. Two (2) sampling locations (Imperial Hwy. and Del Amo Blvd.) with direct measurement of water temperatures recorded from submerged data loggers over that time period. 

Data collected from two (2) locations over the course of one (1) year to capture seasonal temperature variation in the lower Los Angeles River. Data was collected from TidbiT data loggers that were kept submerged in the low-flow channel; both Imperial and Del Amo have bridge piers located in the middle of the low-flow channel, which makes year-round submersion of the temperature sensors possible. 

Data was collected in support of restoration efforts in the lower Los Angeles River, specifically the Lower Los Angeles River Restoration and Access (LLARRA) project. The project is in the planning and design phase (9/2025) and the collected data will serve to both guide restoration priorities going forward and serve as a baseline for projected beneficial outcomes of the project. 

The LLARRA project area is located between Paramount and Compton, roughly equidistant from the Imperial and Del Amo sampling locations. Those locations were selected for sampling due to mid-stream bridge piers that allowed sampling and measurement in relatively safe locations over the course of the work. Temperatures fluctuated seasonally, as expected, with colder temps dipping below 10 degrees C in the winter months, and reaching as high as 30 degrees C during the height of summer. These parameters provide a clear but challenging matrix for restoration priorities.

This data and metadata were submitted by California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Staff though the Data Management Plan (DMP) framework with the id: DMP000718. For more information, please visit https://wildlife.ca.gov/Data/Sci-Data.

Wildlife Movement Barriers - CDFW [ds2867]

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>CDFW divides the state into six administrative Regions. CDFW staff in each Region identified linear segments of infrastructure that currently present barriers to wildlife populations in their jurisdiction. In doing so, the Regions used all available empirical information in their possession, including existing connectivity and road crossing studies, collared-animal movement data, roadkill observations, and professional expertise. This dataset represents all barriers identified statewide as of June 2024 and former barriers that have been remediated since 2020. This dataset represents CDFW's ongoing effort to identify priority wildlife movement barriers across the state. Currently, increasing attention is being directed toward wildlife habitat connectivity as a mechanism of maintaining biodiversity in the face of population growth and climate change. Listing priority wildlife barrier locations will help focus limited financial resources where the highest need has been identified to improve wildlife movement. This is complementary to CDFW’s fish passage barrier priorities that have been identified for anadromous fish. Like the fish passage priorities, the wildlife barrier priorities list will be periodically updated to reflect new information and barrier removal successes. Most of the barriers identified are highway segments, but other infrastructure types such as fencing, canals, local roads, and high speed rail alignments are also represented.

California Natural Gas Consumption Dashboard

The California Natural Gas Consumption dashboard illustrates the state’s historical natural gas consumption by agency, sector, and county level. Data is sourced from Quarterly Fuel and Energy Reports (QFER) California Energy Commission (CEC) Form 1308B, which provides monthly information about the volume and cost of natural gas to categories of end users and provides a list of gas retailers selling gas in California. Natural gas consumption data and information is further used in analyzing natural gas demand for local planning, informs California’s Energy Demand Forecast, and contributes to the Commission’s Integrated Energy Policy Report. Natural gas consumption data is collected quarterly under the authority of the California Code of Regulations, Title 20, Section 1308(b).

Annual statewide natural gas consumption is available to explore by sector, agency, and county. Each sector consists of several categories determined by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Some forecast models, such as agriculture, water pumping, commercial building, “transportation, communications, & utilities” (TCU), industrial, and mining-are based on sector-level data subdivided by NAICS categories. NAICS categories consist of census defined NAICS subsectors and Energy Commission defined category codes. Data featured in this dashboard was previously made available via the California Energy Consumption Database Management (ECDMS).

California Electricity Consumption Dashboard

The California Electricity Consumption dashboard illustrates the state’s historical electricity consumption by agency, sector, and county. Data is sourced from Quarterly Fuel and Energy Report (QFER) California Energy Commission (CEC) Form 1306A Schedule 1, which requires utility distribution companies (UDCs) to report the amount of electricity they deliver monthly to end-use customers, along with self-generation datasets. This electricity consumption data is used to analyze electricity demand for local planning and California’s energy demand forecasts. Electricity sales and delivery data are collected quarterly under the authority of the California Code of Regulations, Title 20, Section 1306(a).
