<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p style='text-align:Justify;margin:0 0 0 0;'><span>Aerial Information Systems, Inc (AIS) was contracted to create both a baseline vegetation map derived from 1990s-era imagery and an updated 2010 vegetation map for the Santa Lucia Preserve (Preserve) and neighboring properties to the west, for a total area of 25,630 acres. The neighboring properties are contiguous with the western boundary of the Preserve and are owned by several different organizations. These adjacent properties are: Whisler-Wilson Ranch, Palo Corona Regional Park, both owned by Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District (MPRPD); Mitteldorf Preserve, owned by Big Sur Land Trust (BSLT); a small portion of the Joshua Creek Canyon Ecological Reserve, which is the property of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW); and several pieces of private property owned by individuals. The vegetation mapping classification created for the project area is based on a floristic vegetation classification according to the National Vegetation Classification (NVCS) and on California statewide vegetation mapping and classification standards.</span></p></div></div></div>

Elk Migration Lines - West Goose Lake - 1999-2002, 2018-2020 [ds2900]

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p style='margin:0 0 11 0;'><span><span>The project leads for the collection of this data were Erin Zulliger and Richard Shinn. The winter range of the West Goose Lake Rocky Mountain elk (</span></span><span style='font-style:italic;'><span>Cervus canadensis nelsoni</span></span><span><span>) sub-herd is located north of Alturas and west of Highway 395 within the Devil’s Garden Ranger District of the Modoc National Forest. This area is characterized by juniper (</span></span><span style='font-style:italic;'><span>Juniperus occidentalis</span></span><span><span>) woodlands, and sagebrush flats with some stands of lodgepole (</span></span><span style='font-style:italic;'><span>Pinus contorta</span></span><span><span>) and ponderosa pine (</span></span><span style='font-style:italic;'><span>Pinus ponderosa</span></span><span><span>) throughout flat, rocky terrain. From this area, a portion of the herd migrates approximately 50 miles north into Oregon’s Fremont National Forest, habitat that primarily consists of lodgepole and ponderosa pine forests. Minimal barriers exist along this migration route since the corridor primarily occurs on land managed by the US Forest Service. Additionally, although the core migration route does cross Highway 140, little to no impacts are known to exist from this crossing. Elk (12 adult females, 1 adult male, and 3 juvenile males) were captured from 2018 to February 2020 and equipped with Lotek and Vectronic satellite GPS collars. Additional GPS data was collected from elk (2 females and 1 male) in 1999-2002 and included in the analysis to supplement the small sample size of the 2018-2020 dataset. GPS locations were fixed at 4-hour intervals in the 2018-2020 dataset and 6 to 8-hour intervals in the 1999-2002 dataset. </span></span></p><p style='margin:0 0 11 0;'><span><span>Migration lines as symbolized connect GPS data points per elk per seasonal migration.

Five migration sequences from 3 elk, with an average migration time of 6.8 days and an average migration distance of 16.14 km, were used from the 1999-2002 dataset. All three of these elk were used to supplement the eastern members of this herd, which travel shorter distances between summer and winter range than western individuals in the sample. Twenty migration sequences from 9 elk, with an average migration time of 11.2 days and an average migration distance of 57.75 km, were used from the 2018-2020 dataset.</span></span></p></div></div></div>

DSM2 Input 2025-07-03 historical update

DSM2 Version "DSM2 Input 2025-07-03 historical update" is based on "DSM2 Input 2025-05-28", and includes the following improvements:

* Corrections to SMSCG time series input for the RADIAL_FRACT_UP and RADIAL_FRACT_DOWN time series. 
* Modified pipe coefficients for False River Barrier and the South Delta Temporary Barriers. Previously, some of these coefficients were greater than 1.0, which is used in SCHISM to simulate barrier leakage. Since barrier leakage in DSM2 is simulated differently, the coefficients do not need to be greater than 1.0.

Vegetation - Upper Santa Ana River Wash - SBWCD [ds3212]

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>The San Bernardino Valley Water Conservation District (SBVWCD) contracted AECOM to produce an association-level vegetation classification and map of lands owned and/or managed by the District in the Upper Santa Ana River Wash. The classification is consistent with the Manual of California Vegetation (MCV) (CNPS 2018), and vegetation sampling methods followed National Park Service (NPS) Vegetation Index protocols. </span></p><p><span>The mapping study area consists of approximately 2,200-acres near Mentone, in San Bernardino, California. Approximately 1,500-acres lie within the Preserve set aside for the Upper Santa Ana River Wash Habitat Conservation Plan. The primary purpose of this project was to provide the District a consistent system for the mapping of vegetation on its lands. Vegetation mapping is conducted periodically by the District to inform various environmental and species management initiatives.</span></p><p><span>All plot data collection took place May 2-5, 2025. Four-band (RGB and color NIR) aerial imagery was collected May 4, 2022. All image acquisition, processing, and ortho-rectification were conducted by GeoTerra, Inc. Polygons were drawn using a minimum mapping unit (MMU) of 0.5 acre, and vegetation attributes assigned using the vegetation key provided in the newly created classification. Field reconnaissance was conducted by the photo-interpreter during the earliest stages of mapping to establish photo-signature recognition for each alliance and association. There were a total of 21 mapping classes. </span></p><p><span>More information can be found in the project report, which is bundled with the vegetation map published for BIOS here: https://filelib.wildlife.ca.gov/Public/BDB/GIS/BIOS/Public_Datasets/3200_3299/ds3212.zip </span></p></div></div></div>

California High Hazard Zones (Tier 2)

On October 30, 2015 Governor Brown issued an emergency declaration 
requiring public agencies to identify areas of tree mortality that hold 
the greatest potential to result in wildfire and/or falling trees and 
threaten people and property in these areas. Once identified, these 
areas will be prioritized for removal of dead and dying trees that 
present a threat to public safety. <br /><div><br /><div>Tier Two high hazard zones are defined by watersheds (HUC 12, average 
24,000 acres) that have significant tree mortality as well as 
significant community and natural resource assets. Work at the Tier Two
level addresses the immediate threat of falling trees and fire risk, and
 also supports broader forest health and landscape level fire planning 
issues.</div><div><br /></div>This service represents the latest official release of HHZ. It will be updated annually when a new version is released. As of June 2019, it represents HighHazardZones19_1.<br /></div>

Environmental Monitoring Program: Discrete Water Quality Data

The Interagency Ecological Program’s (IEP) Environmental Monitoring Program (EMP) was initiated in compliance with the Water Right Decision D-1379 (now mandated by Water Right Decision D-1641) and has monitored discrete water quality and nutrients in the upper San Francisco Estuary since 1975. The objectives of the EMP are to obtain consistent and accurate monthly data at established monitoring stations, provide and document information necessary to achieve compliance with salinity, flow, and dissolved oxygen standards, and to report this information for the purpose of management and conservation of the upper San Francisco Estuary. While the EMP also collects biological data, this dataset only includes the discrete water quality and nutrient data collected by the EMP from 1975-2021. Links to other EMP datasets can be found [here](https://emp-dwr.github.io/emp-website/qmd-files/website/general/data-links.html).

Data is also accessible via the [Environmental Data Initiative](https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=edi&identifier=458&revision=12).
