WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT HIRING THE CALIFORNIA CONSERVATION CORPS

 

SMUD called on the California Conservation Corps to do a massive rehabilitation of its public trails around Loon Lake in California’s Desolation Wilderness and says it couldn’t be more pleased with, nor more proud of its partnership with the CCC.

 

The Mt. View Sanitary District’s Moorhen Marsh re-opened to the public in spring 2019. The CCC helped build a new viewing platform and boardwalk to make it easier for school kids and birdwatchers to get around. It’s an example of how local utility and sanitation districts can accomplish projects they might not otherwise be able to afford by hiring the CCC’s Corpsmembers to provide labor while receiving training that can lead to meaningful careers. The MVSD says it is excited about the great partnership with CCC’s Delta Center.

 

Former CAL FIRE Chief Ken Pimlott shares why hiring CCC crews was a strong value for his program.

 

When Incredible Edible Community Garden needed help planting trees for its tribute to America’s veterans, the directors put their trust in the California Conservation Corps. CCC Corpsmembers jumped in to help the San Bernardino County non-profit maintain its commitment to enriching neighborhoods with community gardens and agroforestry projects. Incredible Edible Community Garden says it’s always a pleasure working with our top-of-the-line Corpsmembers to improve local neighborhoods.

How can these stormwater system needs be addressed?

Unfortunately, the City is able to make only emergency repairs without adequate funding to address critical upgrades to the aging stormwater system. We also know now is the time to live within our means. To that end, the City Council has canceled a planned water and sewer rate increase and unanimously voted to propose an updated stormwater fee structure uniquely calculated so that each property pays its share based on the impact each property has on the stormwater system to address stormwater system needs.Each property owner received a notification of their estimated fee under the proposed Storm Drain and Flood Protection Fee to address health and safety upgrades and better protect local waterways and property. 

7.
Why are names and addresses printed on the ballot and why do I have to provide my name and sign the ballot?

This election is not a secret ballot election. However, that is not due to a policy choice made by the City, but due to a requirement of California law.Under California law, when a city conducts a property-owner mail ballot election for this sort of property-related fee, the ballot in the election is required to include:A place where the property-owner can indicate support or opposition to the proposed feeA place where the person returning the ballot can "indicate his or her name"A place where the person returning the ballot can provide "a reasonable identification of the parcel" (Government Code Section 53755.5(b)(2))Some residents have asked why their name and property address is on the ballot. The current stormwater fee has not been adjusted for the past 27 years, state laws regarding this sort of election have changed in the last decade, and many of our residents are used to participating in elections where every registered voter can cast a ballot. However, as noted above, the City cannot conduct a property-owner mail ballot election as a secret ballot election.

Sonoma County Leave No Trace Seven Principles
Parking lots at some of our more popular parks and trailheads can fill early on weekends and holidays. Plan to arrive early in the morning or later in the day for the best chance of finding parking. 
Avoid parking in residential neighborhoods. If a parking lot is full, have a “Plan B” destination in mind. Follow @SonomaParks on Twitter for real-time parking lot updates.
River and ocean safety is key. Wear a life jacket and do not push yourself past your experience level. Before heading to the river, go online to check river conditions. If visiting the coast, check ocean-use policies and learn about riptides and sleeper waves.
Bringing your dog along? Keep your canines leashed when enjoying dog-friendly destinations, bring your furry friend some extra water, and a plastic bag to pack out their waste (all the way to a trash can). All Regional Parks allow dogs on leashes, with the exception of Shiloh Ranch and North Sonoma Mountain.
Red Flag Warnings and campfire restrictions may be in place. Warm temperatures, low humidity and strong winds combine to create dangerous wild fire conditions. When campfires are prohibited, have alternative methods for staying warm, cooking food and enjoying your time that do not involve campfires.
 

Stick to Trails and Be a Water-Wise Camper

While shortcuts may be tempting, please don’t take (or create) them. Some seemingly small actions can have unintended consequences. Respect private property and stay on designated trails. Your shortcut may be a neighbor’s backyard or important wildlife habitat. Other small actions — like conserving water — can make a big difference. When we minimize human impact in our outdoor spaces, we help keep them pristine, beautiful and healthy for all. 

Walk, ride and photograph on designated trails. Designated trails are intentionally built and help to prevent erosion and protect vegetation from being trampled. Once damaged, vegetation may not grow back. Trail maps are posted at park entrances or can be downloaded from a park's webpage.
Stay back from the bluffs. Be careful when taking photos near coastal cliffs.
FAQs • San Bruno, CA • CivicEngage
Recommendations include:Use open foundations (pile or pier) designed to resist all base flood conditions (waves, high velocity flow, erosion and scour, floodborne debris);Since waves and debris will be impacting the floor joists and other foundation elements during the base flood, elevate the bottom of the lowest horizontal structural member supporting the lowest floor above the base flood wave crest elevation;Use flood-resistant materials above the level of the walking surface of the lowest floor in the event that future flooding exceeds the lowest floor level;Assure that connections between the foundation and the elevated building are capable of withstanding simultaneous wind and flood forces;Use the space below the lowest horizontal structural member for parking, access, or storage only. Adding sufficient freeboard to allow parking beneath the building will not only reduce future flood damages, but will also lower flood insurance premiums; andUse screens or latticework if space below the elevated floor must be enclosed. 

22.
Does the LiMWA impact flood insurance premiums?

No. The LiMWA currently has no bearing on flood insurance premium rates. Zone AE areas that are both seaward and landward of the LiMWA will be rated the same for flood insurance purposes. 

23.
What is a Primary Frontal Dune (PFD)? How are the PFD lines drawn?

A PFD is defined as a continuous or nearly continuous mound or ridge of sand with relatively steep seaward and landward slopes immediately landward and adjacent to the beach and subject to erosion and overtopping from high tides and waves during major coastal storms. The inland limit of the primary frontal dune occurs at the point where there is a distinct change from a relatively steep slope to a relatively mild slope.Areas designated as Zone VE, by definition, must at a minimum extend to the inland limit of the PFD. Primary frontal dunes are mapped as Zone VE because of their important role as the first line of defense against flooding. The Zone VE designation ensures that dunes are not subject to manmade alterations in a way that could increase potential flood damage. The Zone VE designation also reflects the potential risk of erosion and undermining of structures that exists for primary frontal dunes.

How long does it take to conduct a coastal flood study?
Floodplain Management « The Official Website for the City of Birmingham, Alabama
The risk of flooding is often associated with the terms, base floodplain and 100-Year Floodplain. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and the development of Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) has delineated the 100-Year floodplain for communities participating in the NFIP. The base floodplain, or 100-Year floodplain is the area of land that would be inundated by a 1-percent-annual-chance flood. It is used by FEMA as the basis for administering their floodplain management programs, through regulatory requirements as well as for settings for flood insurance rates.
The second type natural event experienced frequently in Birmingham is straight lined-winds is wind that comes out of a thunderstorm once the winds meet and exceed 58 miles per hours then the storm is classified as severe by the National Weather Service. These winds are produced by the downward momentum in the downdraft region of a thunderstorm. A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud. They are often referred to as twisters or cyclones, although the word cyclone is used in meteorology, in a wider sense, to name any closed low pressure circulation. Tornadoes come in many shapes and sizes, but they are typically in the form of a visible condensation funnel, whose narrow end touches the earth and is often encircled by a cloud of debris and dust.
Floodplains serve a beneficial purpose to our quality of life. These low lying areas are where rainfall goes to drain and are adjacent to rivers and subject to flooding. Some examples of the major rivers in the City limits of Birmingham with surrounding floodplain areas include Little Shades Creek, Village Creek, Valley Creek and Five Mile Creek.
Floodplains also serve as filters of stormwater runoff as it seeps through the ground and into our aquifer. The natural vegetation filters out impurities and uses excess nutrients. This aquifer is our only source of drinking water, and filtering helps contain pollution before it reaches our aquifer!
The 2024-25 Budget: Flood Management Proposals 
Given the significant population and assets located in these regions, the fiscal and safety risks of failing to adequately protect against flood damage and levee failures are considerable. 
Leverage Significant Federal Funding. Because these projects are conducted in collaboration with USACE, they help to draw down significant federal funding—USACE covers up to 65 percent of a project’s cost. If the state fails to provide its cost share this year, USACE would halt the projects due to nonperformance and redirect funding to projects in other states. The administration indicates that, were this to occur, reinstating the projects with USACE would be difficult to impossible.
Not Acting Now Would Lead to Higher Costs and Complications Later. USACE supports high‑priority projects for which flood protection benefits outweigh associated costs. (Under federal law, confirming a positive cost‑benefit evaluation is a prerequisite for USACE to undertake any flood protection project.) That is, USACE has estimated that the economic toll to recover from flooding in these areas would be more costly than paying for these flood protection projects now. Because of its special responsibility for SPFC facilities in the Central Valley, the state could be liable for resulting repair and recovery costs should the levees fail. 
Pausing Projects Already Underway Would Be Highly Disruptive. Nearly all of the proposed funding supports projects that already are underway. Stopping midstream would be disruptive; almost certainly would increase overall project costs; and, given USACE requirements, likely would compromise the ability to finish the projects.

Several Compelling Reasons for Proceeding With Central Valley Systemwide Projects… Although the three projects in the Central Valley systemwide request are located in more rural areas and the direct flood risk to people and property therefore is lower as compared to the urban projects, we also find some compelling reasons for proceeding with these projects.

Support Disadvantaged Areas That May Not Otherwise Be Protected. The three projects are located in economically disadvantaged areas that likely do not have sufficient local revenues (such as from property assessments) to be able to pursue this work without state assistance. 
All Three Projects Are in Their Final Stages; Pausing Would Cause Disruption and Increase Costs. The state already has provided funding for the initial stages of these projects and completing them expeditiously therefore would maximize previous state investments.
