12 REFERENCES AND SOURCES USED IN DOCUMENT PREPARATION

Note to Reader

This chapter contains a list of all the references and sources relied upon to prepare the Fresno to 

Bakersfield Locally Generated Alternative (F-B LGA) Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS). The references are organized by the chapter 

or section for which they were used. Gray shading indicates references that are new to this report 

and therefore not found in the Fresno to Bakersfield Section Final EIR/EIS (California High-Speed 

Rail Authority and USDOT Federal Railroad Administration 2014). 

The geographic information system (GIS) data files and other electronic sources that are cited on 

figures throughout this Draft Supplemental EIR/EIS are not listed in this chapter. 

Some sources cited in the author-date citations in the text are short forms. The short forms that 

are not easily identified and their corresponding full forms are listed below. 

• Authority: See California High-Speed Rail Authority.

• DWR: See California Department of Water Resources.
