1.0 Introduction
One of the largest river systems in Southern California, the Santa Ana River has been
largely channelized, diverted, and urbanized. Once inhabited solely by Native American
tribes, today the watershed is home to more than 4.8 million people and has one of the
fastest growing populations in California. The watershed spans four counties in Southern
California and faces multiple environmental and urban stresses. Several planning efforts
recognize the need for better resource management and watershed restoration
opportunities. Background material serves to inform resource management and watershed
restoration. Research materials related to the Santa Ana River and its tributaries exist in
many forms, from expert witness testimony to electronic statistical data, and the material
continues to grow.
The Water Resources Institute at California State University, San Bernardino has the goal
of a comprehensive, interdisciplinary bibliography of all resources related to the Santa
Ana River and its tributaries. This bibliography is a work in progress and incomplete. It
represents the first step towards an online, spatially-referenced research tool. The Water
Resource Institute will continue to add material as they are published and identified.
Scope
The time period covered by the bibliography is 1800 to 2004. Topics include: climate,
geography, geology, hydrology, topography, biodiversity, ecology, hazards/disasters,
environmental resource management, health and safety, water quality, history, settlement,
agriculture and other uses, creative and artistic expressions, and water rights litigation
(figures 1 – 8). The bibliography includes citations from a variety of fields including
environmental science, business, economics, law, history, and general social sciences.
The bibliography includes selected books, maps, government documents, technical
reports and studies, legal cases and records, periodical and newspaper articles,
manuscripts, and oral histories. Due to the large number of maps and road guides
published on Southern California, only a select few have been included to represent the
changing infrastructure and landscape throughout the decades. Broader Southern
California references have been included to give historical, political, and geographical
context to the river and watershed. Due to the unstable nature of Internet resources, only
a select few have been included. Abstracts or summaries have been included when
available.

Compilation
This bibliography represents the first phase towards the goal of a comprehensive
bibliography of the Santa Ana River and Watershed. The primary methodology of this
phase was to identify resources available through electronic indexes, scholarly databases,
and online library catalogs. Approximately 6,000 citations were retrieved and transferred
to Endnote™ 7.0, a bibliographic management application. The citations were reviewed
for relevancy and categorized by topic and geographic area. 2, 403 citations have been
retained from the original 6,000 to produce this bibliography.

Arrangement
The bibliography is divided into five sections by geographic boundary: 1) Basin-wide, 2)
Los Angeles County (Figure 9), 3) Orange County (Figure 10), 4) Riverside County
(Figure 11), and 5) San Bernardino County (Figure 12). Each section includes three
divisions: physical environment, environmental issues, development and use. Each
citation appears only once in the bibliography, however enhanced searching options will
be made available online from: http://wri.csusb.edu . Bibliographic entries follow style
guidelines based upon the American Psychology Association Publication Manual 5th
Edition. Citations that cover more than one county have been placed in section 1: Basinwide. Citations covering more than one topic appear at the beginning of each division
under “General Information.” The bibliography is arranged alphabetically by the first
author’s last name, the year (oldest – recent), and title.

The Santa Ana River is an important source of groundwater recharge for
aquifers in Orange County, California. Under base-flow conditions, a
substantial percentage of the Santa Ana River consists of treated
wastewater. The objectives of this study were to characterize the
interaction between the Santa Ana River and the shallow groundwater system,
and to quantify the percentage of wastewater and other sources of flow in
the Santa Ana River. To accomplish these objectives, stream discharge and
dye-tracer concentrations were measured in the Santa Ana River and its
tributaries. The study area was divided into an upper reach (8 mi) and
lower reach (10 mi). Discharge measurements were made at 10 sites along the
river, including a USGS gauging station (Santa Ana River at MWD Crossing),
and on 5 tributaries. Water samples were collected every 5 to 10 minutes at
seven sites to measure Rhodamine WT dye concentrations. The dye
concentrations allow for a Lagrangian interpretation of the discharge data.
By measuring the discharge associated with the same mass of water, the
percentage of wastewater can be quantified. The flow of the Santa Ana River
at MWD Crossing, the end of the upper reach, was about 68 percent
wastewater; and, at the Powerline site, the end of the lower reach,
wastewater increased to approximately 77 percent of total flow.

In 1986, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (LADPW) sought
assistance in modeling and analyzing a freshwater injection barrier's operation. The
barrier protects critical groundwater supply basins in the greater Los Angeles area from
saltwater intrusion. Recent concern focused on the movement of a wedge of saltwater
that had intruded into the basin beyond the barrier and showed progressive movement
inland. The County was concerned that the wedge may have indicated a basic flaw in the
barrier. The first step of the study was to develop models that would reasonably
represent the basin's hydrogeologic system. Once calibrated, the models could be used
for simulating future conditions under the assumption that current barrier operations
would be continued. The results showed that the barrier would generally remain
effective, with isolated deficiencies. With these results, the County is able to ask some
"what if" questions about operation of the barrier and the basin for optimum water quality
management.

Dredging the Santa Ana River and dumping any part of the spoils at sea is a very bad
idea. All of the accumulated sediment in the riverbed is en route to the coast. Most of it is
sand, and none of that sand should be wasted by dumping any part of it at sea, as
proposed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. If dredging must be done, the sediment
should be extracted over an extended period of time, which would allow for the spoils to
be gradually placed on the beaches at Newport, Huntington, Seal and Surfside. With
Seven Oaks dam in the San Bernardino Mountains, numerous other flood-control dams
and the mining of sand and gravel from the bed of the river and its tributaries, the beaches
have steadily been deprived of sand nourishment. Don't make the situation any worse by
wasting the sand from the lower Santa Ana riverbed. The only time sand is moved to the
coast is by flooding rivers. Without flood waters, the sand in the riverbeds does not move.
This creates a big conflict for the corps: It does everything it can to prevent flood
damage, but flood waters move sand to the coast -- and the sand builds berms at the
coast, which protect coastal property. The waves attack our sand-diminished beaches and
destroy coastal property. Then the corps comes to the rescue and builds groins, etc., to
protect the coastal property on the beaches. This is how the corps has managed to keep its
work schedule so full.

One can multiply the value of output from limited natural water supplies by allocating
them to higher uses. To this end, one needs a market in raw water, but existing markets
work badly, for several reasons. Sellers are undermotivated, absent taxes or debt. Free
groundwater subverts the pricing of surface water. Loss of elevation, damage from
effluents, and instream uses are not charged for. Obsolete subsidies abound and obsolete
entitlements dominate allocation. Some trades distinguish public rights. Rent-seeking
distorts allocation. Needed public agencies have been subverted by organized land
speculators. Recommendations are given.

Eriastrum densifolium ssp. sanctorum (Milliken) Mason (Polemoniaceae) (California).
MAI, 40(03), 62.
This study assessed factors that affect reproductive success of Eriastrum densifolium ssp.
sanctorum (Eds), a self-incompatible endangered perennial plant. It determined whether
seed production is limited by resource allocation or pollinator activity and examined the
influence of predation. The literature predicts that pollinator limitation in outcrossers
would result in less than 33% fruit set. Hummingbirds and the Giant Flower Loving Fly
were the most common pollinators. Reproductive success of Eds appears to be both
pollinator and resource-limited and was affected by predation. Clearly, high predation
may influence Eds population growth.

Eriastrum densifolium ssp. sanctorum is an endangered perennial plant endemic to the
floodplain of the Santa Ana River in San Bernardino County, California. Its
subpopulations are spatially separated in a range of successional habitats. Two of these
subpopulations, representative of an early and middle successional stage, were examined
to identify the primary pollinators and to determine if the mean interplant flight distance
of those pollinators could explain the documented difference in genetic diversity between
the subpopulations. The primary pollinators of the two subpopulations were different, and
there was a significant difference in mean interplant flight distance of those pollinators at
each site.

The size of eggs that evolves within a population will in theory reflect a balance between
selection for large eggs and for increased fecundity. Theory also predicts that the
intensity of selection for large eggs (via effects of egg size on progeny survival and
growth) increases as environmental quality decreases.

Juhren, M. C., & Montgomery, K. R. (1977). Long-term responses of Cistus and certain other
introduced shrubs on disturbed wildland sites in Southern California. Ecology, 58(1),
129-138.
The performance of seven introduced shrubs in four genera planted for erosion control on
12 disturbed sites, was observed over a 10- to 20-yr period. The sites differed widely in
elevation, steepness, soils, and climatic factors. Three species of Cistus proved
satisfactory on most sites for 3 to 5 yr. On several sites they persisted as useful stands for
10 yr or longer, with promise of permanent self-maintenance in at least five cases.
Plantings of Atriplex, Rosmarinus, and Baccharis species generally decline and did not
reproduce. The length of the effective life of the Cistus stands depended on (1) water
availability, in which the chief factor was sufficiency and timing of the winter rains, and
(2) the development of tall native shrubs on the sites. The need of Cistus seedlings for
high light intensities was established experimentally. When low-growing native species
invaded a site, Cistus grew compatibly with them. Cistus seedlings competed
successfully with forbs and weeds but did not survive in thick grass. On the hottest, driest
inland sites, the original Cistus bushes became woody and senescent in about 12 yr.
Management is recommended to reduce the fuel load in case of fire, and to stimulate
growth of new bushes. Limits of cold tolerance were established for C. villosus at 1,790
m and for heat/drought tolerance of C. laurifolius at 930 m. The latter thrived at
temperatures far lower than those of a mediterranean climate.

The heat of the summer has brought a female Delhi Sands fly out to look for mates and
perhaps sip nectar from the flowers. She has already lived out the bulk of her life
burrowed deep in the sand, and at most, she will live a week more on her dune
sandwiched between a subdivision and a freeway.
UC Riverside entomologist Greg
Bollmer theorizes that it might live in ant colonies -- that when the fly larvae hatch from
eggs buried in the sand, they crawl to the surface, only to be toted back underground by
ants. The Delhi Sands fly is outfitted with a slender proboscis to suck nectar from
flowers, but the entomologists who monitor it rarely see an adult eat; there is some
speculation that its preferred food might have been a flower that has been extinct since
the 1920s.

Eriastrum densifolium ssp. sanctorum (Milliken) Mason, is an endangered plant
subspecies restricted to the Santa Ana River floodplain, near Redlands, California. I
studied the reproductive biology of this subspecies as part of the development of a
management plan. E. d. sanctorum is protandrous and an obligate outcrosser. Insects
Micranthophora flavocincta (Hymenoptera; Anthophoridae), Rhaphiomidas acton ssp.
acton (Diptera; Apioceridae), and hummingbirds (Arhilochus alexandri and Calypte
anna) were the primary pollinators. Reproductive findings were used to explain the
genetic variability of the plant. A phylogenetic relationship between subspecies of E.
densifolium was proposed and used to elucidate patterns in the reproductive biology,
ecology, and genetics of E. d. sanctorum. Future lines of research regarding the
pollinator's life history, and management practices such as elimination of human
disturbance and continuation of floods were proposed.

The Santa Ana Woolly Star (Eriastrum densifolium ssp. sanctorum or (Eds)), is a Federal
and State listed plant of the Santa Ana River floodplain in southern California. It is
facultatively outcrossed by various pollinators including: Rhaphiomidas acton, Bombus
sp., and Arhilochus sp. Germination success of seeds produced naturally and artificially
crossed from five successional sites and pollen fitness of resulting plants were
determined, measured as radicle emergence and pollen stainability with cotton blue
respectively. A Two-way ANOVA showed no differences in germination success or in
pollen fitness among the sites and treatments. Germination success was: (1) enhanced by
seed imbibition $>$24hrs), (2) positively correlated with seed size and (3) intermittent
between wet-dry runs. Many seeds are long-lived, have orthodox storage behavior, and
are likely important contributors to an aerial seed bank.

For over 20 years arundo has muscled out the native cottonwoods and willows that once
thrived along the banks of the Santa Ana. Slurping up nutrients pouring into the river
from seven sewage treatment plants, arundo can grow seven inches a day, said Mr.
(Paul) Frandsen, who is battling 8,000 acres of it. Arundo is one of about 300 exotic, or
non-native plants invading natural habitats in the 49 continental states. There are about a
dozen plants on the Federal noxious weed list, but horticulturists say the regulations are
poorly enforced. And though 18 state agriculture departments have drawn up invasive
plant lists, compliance is voluntary. As countries like Australia, where exotic plants
overrun more than half of its wildlands, set up strict requirements before a non-native
plant can cross its borders, the Federal Government is considering a similar model. Such
controls, after thousands of years of free exchange has the nursery industry worried about
everything from seeds brought back from Siberia to promising ornamentals in their
greenhouses right now.

the California pocket mouse Perognathus Californicus. Ecology, 47(2), 245-252.
Perognathus californicus is a nocturnal, burrowing rodent and in the mountains of
southern California is locally distributed in association with the edge of grasslands. The
thermal environment of P. Californicus is moderate and it undergoes a daily period of
torpor if its food supply is reduced below its ad libitum consumption. At an ambient
temperature of 15C, 17 g of bird seed per 100 g body weight is required each day to
maintain weight in the absence of torpor. If this food ration is reduced, mice on a 12-hr
photoperiod with lights on from 0600 to 1800 hr enter torpor between 2000 and 0500 hr
and allow their body temperatures to drop to about 16C. The earlier times of entry into
torpor are associated with smaller food rations. Since the mean time of arousal is between
1100 and 1330 hr on all food rations, the duration of the torpor period increases as the
food ration decreases. A linear relation exists between daily food ration, time in torpor,
and weight loss. This relation can be explained theoretically and measures the food
requirement for weight maintenance in the absence of torpor, the food savings associated
with torpor, and the influence of food ration on the rate of weight loss. This information,
together with data on population dynamics, could be used to estimate the population
energetics of P. californicus.

Monographs, 43(2), 125-143.
Knobcone pine (Pinus attenuata) is restricted in the Santa Ana Mountains to
hydrothermally modified serpentinite which supports only limited shrub growth as
opposed to the surrounding dense chaparral on nonspecialized substrates. Ceanothus
papillosus var. rowaenus and Ribes malvaceum var. viridifolium are also restricted
locally. The pines survive on the serpentinite by tolerating the existing edaphic
conditions, including nitrogen and phosphate deficiencies and low pH, and because the
otherwise dense competitive growth has been minimized. The water-retaining capacity of
the serpentinite is nearly double that of the chaparral soils. This soil characteristic, the
frequent fogs, the location of the pines in fog gaps, the scattered growth, multiple-trunked
trees, spreading crowns, and medium-length needles all contribute to the persistence of
the pines by enhancing their ability to intercept marine air and produce considerable fog
drip which is readily held by the soils. The life cycle of these knobcone pines is related to
fire, and its periodic occurrence is a necessity for survival. The pines possess a strict
closed-cone habit, with firmly attached cones accumulating throughout the life of each
tree. The seed remains until heat generated by a fire opens the cones. Cones are seldom
burned, and the seed is not shed until well after the fire, remaining viable for at least 3
years in opened cones. Fire creates pioneer conditions necessary for seedling
establishment.
Westman, W. E. (1981). Diversity relations and succession in Californian Coastal Sage Scrub.
Ecology, 62(1), 170-184.
The facultatively drought-deciduous shrublands of coastal California and Baja California
are lowest in species richness of the four Mediterranean-climate regions where this
physiognomic type occurs. Alpha richness in the North American coastal sage scrub
varies primarily with the abundance of herbaceous annual species. Herb levels in turn
vary with differences in levels of precipitation, favorableness of temperature during the
winter and spring growing season, shading by shrubs, soil nitrogen, and air pollution.
Levels of herbaceous annuals are highest in the growing season following fire, and show
a second pulse of abundance in stands 15-25 yr old. Mature stands of coastal sage scrub
are typically low in species equitability, due at least in part to the shade-intolerance of the
herbaceous understory and to reduced levels of soil nitrogen. Symbiotic nitrogen-fixing
organisms are virtually absent from stands which have not burned in 20 yr or more. The
pattern of postfire succession varies markedly with fire intensity; dominant shrubs sprout
abundantly from root crowns only following less intense fires. In view of the reduction of
the area of coastal sage scrub in California to 10-15% of its former extent and the limited
extent of preserves, measures to conserve the diversity of the flora are needed.

Westman, W. E. (1981). Factors influencing the distribution of species of Californian coastal sage
scrub. Ecology, 62(2), 439-455.
The distributions of species and species groups of southern coastal sage scrub in Alta and
Baja California are examined in relation to structural and environmental variables.
Variables examined include vegetative structure, geographic and topographic position,
soil physical characteristics and macronutrient levels, substrate, temperature,
precipitation, and factors of disturbance (fire, light grazing, air pollution).
Evapotranspirative stress during summer months seems to be a major factor influencing
species distributions. Mean temperature of the warmest month appears to be a better
predictor of this stress than seasonal or annual precipitation levels. The possible
ecological significance of this is briefly discussed.

Persistence of crop genes in wild populations. Ecological Applications, 7(2), 512-518.
Gene flow can be expected to occur in many crop/weed complexes if the crop and the
weed have sympatric ranges, are sexually compatible, have flowering times that overlap,
and share a common pollinator. These conditions are met in a large number of crop/weed
complexes; however, the consequences of gene exchange between crops and wild
relatives on a wide scale, and the potential fate of escaped engineered genes, remain
generally unknown. We examined several fitness correlates of weed (times) crop hybrids
between crop sorghum and a related noxious weed, johnsongrass. Hybrid weeds did not
show any significant increase or decrease in time to flowering, panicle production, seed
production, pollen viability, tiller production, or biomass compared to nonhybrid
johnsongrass. We conclude that a transgene that is either neutral or beneficial to
johnsongrass would likely persist in populations growing in agricultural conditions under
continued gene flow from the crop.

Eriastrum densifolium ssp. sanctorum has become endangered as a result of human
induced habitat destruction. An investigation was undertaken to determine the level of
genetic diversity within the single remaining population, utilizing enzyme
electrophoresis. In addition, a nearby putative hybrid population, possibly involving E. d.
ssp. sanctorum, was analyzed, along with other probable parents. A survey of 19 loci
within 15 subpopulations, comprising a total of 393 individuals, yielded standard
diversity values of: P(.99) = 40.0; A = 1.42; H = 0.087. Genetic identities between all ssp.
sanctorum subpopulations were extremely high (x = 0.992). Most of the genetic variation
in ssp. sanctorum resides within subpopulations, at a level indicating extremely high gene
flow. Analysis of the putative hybrid population was inconclusive due to a lack of
diagnostic alleles. The geographical restrictions imposed upon E. d. ssp. sanctorum have
not totally compromised its genetic variability.
Business Communications Co. (1996). Wetlands found to eliminate pollutants.
The Orange County Water District already uses a number of highly sophisticated, and
costly, means of purifying the water from the Santa Ana River. But a purification system
based solely on natural processes, and especially the activity of microbes in the different
parts of the system, is preferred. The artificial wetlands of the Santa Ana River in Orange
County, CA, are capable of reducing pollutants such as nitrates and chlorinated organic
compounds, a team of researchers has determined. Findings are so encouraging that the
researchers, from Northwestern University (Evanston, IL) and the University of
California at Berkeley , are now confident that they will be able to design wetlands
systems that can purify the water through totally natural means.

Pollinator assemblages and effectiveness were investigated in three populations of the
plant Eriastrum densifolium =Ed (Polemoniaceae). Ed inhabits alluvial gradients in the
San Gabriel Mountains and Santa Ana River wash in San Bernardino County, California.
Corolla tube lengths differed among Ed populations. Numbers of potential Ed pollinator
species ranged from 16-28 and included at Cleghorn Road: Bombus vosnesenskii and
Apis mellifera; Cajon Wash: Eulonchus smaragdinus smaragdinus, Rhaphiomidas acton
acton, Anthophora urbana, and Bombus californicus; and Santa Ana River: R. acton
acton, B. californicus, and Archilocus alexandri (Black-chinned hummingbird). Pollinator
exclusion bags and freshly killed primary pollinators were used in experimental
pollination treatments. Overall, the double contact treatments (pollinator to stigma) did

Eriastrum densifolium ssp. sanctorum (Polemoniaceae), an early successional species in
southern California. MAI, 41(05), 45.
Eriastrum densifolium ssp. sanctorum (Milliken) Mason (Polemoniaceae) is a short-lived
perennial endemic to the Santa Ana River drainage. Flood control implementations
impede seedling establishment by preventing flood events that scour surfaces of
competitively dominant species. A randomized complete block design was used to
establish 35 experimental plots each assigned one of seven soil conditions: control,
cleared, cut, diked, sand-fill 10 cm, sand-fill 20 cm, and sand-fill 30 cm. I quantified
emergence and survivorship on each soil condition that functioned to mimic early
succession substrata. I hypothesized that: (1) The soil condition would not affect
emergence. (2) Seedling survivorship would be highest on the cut and sand-fill
conditions. No significant soil condition effect was detected on emergence and
survivorship. Results were attributed to low statistical power and limited rainfall. Future
recommendations are to: (1) increase the sample size and duration, (2) replace selected
sod conditions, and (3) monitor non-native species establishment.

Engstrom, W. N. (1994). Nineteenth-century coastal gales of Southern California. Geographical
Review, 84(3), 306-315.
Severe southeast gales, large waves, and heavy precipitation were significant winterstorm events along the coast of southern California during the nineteenth century. Known
as southeasters, those storms caused erosion and strong littoral transport to the north.
They were most likely intense extratropical cyclones that passed through southern or
central California. The frequency and intensity of the storms diminished toward the end
of the century, which suggests that the storminess was characteristic of the late Little Ice
Age climate in the low middle latitudes of the eastern Pacific.
Engstrom, W. N. (1996). The California storm of January 1862. Quaternary Research, 46(2),
141-148.
The greatest storm in the written history of California struck the region in the winter of
1861-1862. The unusual weather began on Christmas Eve, 1861, and persisted for some
45 days as a series of middle-latitude cyclones made landfall along the California coast.
Episodes of very cold and very warm temperatures occurred both during the storm and in
the spring of 1862 as meridional flow prevailed. Heavy precipitation swelled the Santa
Ana River to more than triple the highest estimated discharge in this century. High water
levels in coastal streams between Los Angeles and San Diego persisted into the spring.
Lakes were created in the Los Angeles Basin and the Mojave Desert. Arroyos were cut.
Sediments from the flood may be preserved in offshore basins.

Staff found that about 10 dairies of about 200 experienced leaky berms and other
problems, said Steve Mayville, chief of the dairy unit for the Santa Ana Regional Water
Quality Board, which is the state arm tasked with monitoring water quality. Some dairies
have reported problems managing the water on their properties because of the heavy
rainfall, said Nathan de Boom, chief of staff for Chino-based Milk Producers Council.
The flood control basin, opened in 2000 after El Nino storms wreaked havoc on dairies in
1998, caught a tremendous amount of water this storm, de Boom said.

many of the region's avocado plants of their precious fruit.

Mount Wilson burns at the turn of the century. Annals of the Association of American

Reconstruction from written accounts of three chaparral burns (1896, 1898, 1900) before
fire control on Mount Wilson in the San Gabriel Mountains, California, reveals an erratic
smoulder-and-run fire behavior pattern. Although these burns persisted for two to three
months during summer drought, their ultimate sizes were relatively small. Chaparral in
Southern California watersheds before 1900 was described as having been fragmented by
previous burns. Such patchy stand structure can develop from frequent anthropogenic
ignitions because the growth of fires is constrained by previous burns; fire size is
inversely related to ignition rates. In 1919 and 1924, after two decades of fire
suppression, enormous high-intensity conflagrations were driven largely by strong Santa
Ana winds, and this pattern has continued to the present.

atmospheric deposition. Environmental Science and Technology, 28(3), 369-375.
Severe fires in chaparral watersheds subject to air pollution from metropolitan Los
Angeles (California) mobilized accumulated nitrogen and caused stream water to be
polluted with nitrate at concns. exceeding the (US) Federal Water Quality std. Streamwater NO3- concns. were elevated during peak flows. Fires of moderate intensity
produced a more subdued response in stream discharge and soil nitrification and less than
one-seventh the NO3- loss obsd. after severe burning. It was inferred that the
combination of atm. deposition with severe wildfires provides a strong and recurrent
source of nitrate that could contribute to existing groundwater pollution in parts of
eastern Los Angeles County. Moderating the fire regime by prescribed burning could
provide substantial mitigation.

Firefighters from five agencies were called Wednesday afternoon to battle a blaze that
blackened 2,000 acres in the Santa Ana River bottom near Mira Loma, authorities said.
Homes along Holmes and Ridgeview avenues were threatened for a time but firefighters
managed to beat back the flames and head it toward the river, said Battalion Chief Wes
Alston of the California Department of Forestry/Riverside County Fire Department.
About 150 firefighters from Riverside and San Bernardino counties and from Corona,
Norco and Riverside battled the blaze which was first reported at 4 p.m. There were no
injuries and no evacuations, Alston said. Rush hour traffic on Limonite Avenue slowed to
a crawl as rubberneckers gawked at the flames, which were clearly visible from the street.

Despite fences, warning signs and schoolroom lectures indicating that the 470 miles of
concrete-lined flood control channels that run through Los Angeles County can turn from
dry to deadly in minutes, about six people a year, on average, are caught in the channels
and swept to their deaths. Late last month, in the first fatal incident this year, three teenagers drowned when a wall of water rushed through one of the channels during a
rainstorm. But public safety officials fear that the toll may climb during this winter storm
season because of the expected fury of the weather phenomenon known as El Nino.
Flooding forced the evacuation of several mobile-home parks and the temporary closing
of major highways. To the north along the coast, in the Santa Barbara area, nine inches
of rain fell in 24 hours.

The Santa Ana River, usually a gentle stream flowing through the counties of San
Bernardino, Riverside and Orange most of the year, can turn into a raging torrent as
history has shown. To help tame the river when it is at its worst, the U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers is constructing a $ 1.4 billion flood control project. It includes the $ 420million Seven Oaks Dam in the San Bernardino Mountains, scheduled for completion in
1999; raising Prado Dam by 29 feet, scheduled for completion in 2005; widening a flood
channel through Corona and building 4.6 miles of dikes. When completed, it will handle
what is called a 200-year flood. The last flood of that magnitude was in 1862, which
inundated hundreds of square miles along the river in mostly undeveloped land. Such a
flood today would cover 170 square miles in the three counties and cause an estimated $
15 billion in damage, mostly in Orange County.

Calif. dam siting disputed. (1984). Engineering News - Record, 370 words.
The siting of a new upstream dam -- or dams -- on southern California's Santa Ana River
remains an outstanding issue in development of a proposed $1.3-billion flood-control
project to protect an urban area. Three counties bordering the river, meanwhile, have
approved phased construction of the project in hopes of acquiring federal funding.
Existing protective works built in 1940 are not adequate to handle what poses the most
serious flood threat in the western U.S., says Corps of Engineers project manager Dennis
Majors.
Californians build dams in bid to keep oil from bird refuges. (1990, February 12, 1990). The
Washington Post, p. 351 words.
Workers built sand dams and welded shut floodgates yesterday in an attempt to stop a 60square-mile oil slick from penetrating Southern California's bird sanctuaries. The giant
slick spewed from the British Petroleum-leased tanker American Trader, was threatening
the nature preserves of Bolsa Chica and the Santa Ana River. A 20-mile stretch of oncegolden beaches, blackened by oil, was closed by police as more than 1,000 workers in
bright yellow protective clothing worked to clean up the tar-like goo. More than 30 birds
had been killed by the slick and 70 had been rescued. Coast Guard officials said more
than 10,000 gallons had been scooped up by skimmer boats, known as ocean-going
vacuum cleaners, but 50 percent of the spilled oil remained on the water with the
remainder having either evaporated or been broken up by the natural process of
biodegradation.
Award of large dam job held up by protest filed by second low bidder. (1993). Engineering News
- Record, 231(13), pg. 10, 360 words.
A protest has delayed award of the main contract for the huge Seven Oaks earthfill dam
near San Bernardino, Calif., perhaps for months. A U.S. subsidiary of a major Brazilian
firm bid low on the Corps of Engineers project in early July, coming in $36 million
below estimate and $29 million under the second low bidder, which filed the protest.
Bidding alone, CBPO of America, Sherman Oaks, Calif., priced the embankment on the
Santa Ana River at $167.8 million (ENR 7/19 p. 16).
Contractors line up for flood control projects. (1993). Engineering News - Record, 424 words.
With bids due on July 7 for the construction of one of the larger embankment dams in the
nation, the Army Corps of Engineers anticipates receiving quotes from a crowd of
contractors eager to place 38 million cu yd of earth and rock for Seven Oaks Dam in
southern California. Plans call for building a flood-control dam 550 high and 3,000 ft
long on the Santa Ana River, in the highly fractured foothills of the San Bernardino
Mountains, near the San Andreas Fault. James A. Link, project chief, declines to quote
the Corps's own construction estimate but expects the bids will range between $100
million and $200 million.

Indirect potable reuse. (2002). National Driller, 24(2), 64.
However, projects involving indirect potable reuse traditionally were evaluated on a caseby-case basis, making it difficult to plan for this type of water recycling application. A
breakthrough occurred in January 1996 when a regulatory framework for potable reuse
was adopted by a committee convened jointly by California's Department of Health
Services and Department of Water Resources.
Water regulations come at a cost in Southern California. (2002, Feb 18, 2002). Knight Ridder
Tribune Business News, p. 1.
Without the basins, storm runoff will cut across property owned by the university and the
city that is designated as a flood plain, preventing development. Last year, developer
William P. Johnson claimed to have spent about $1 million regrading and building
sediment detention basins to control storm runoff; he faced fines of about $1.3 million for
failing to obtain the proper storm water permits and allowing sediment-laden runoff from
flowing into Murrieta Creek. Assemblyman Bill Leonard, warned that new state water
quality regulations could spark runaway and costly reform of federal runoff control rules.

Angeles. The new 132-foot-tall tower, erected as a replacement for a smaller tower
completed more than a half-century ago, needed the power of hydraulics to open and
close the giant butterfly valves and roller gates that allow water to flow through the many
huge underground tunnels that feed Orange County.

Artificial wetlands are not a new idea. Bacteria, including some that can cause human

One of the fiercest, Irvine Ranch Water District board member Peer Swan, believes it
makes no sense to create such an enormously expensive project. Even with a few dry
years every decade, Swan says, Metropolitan supplies are still cheaper, and likely to be
readily available. Swan's worries are shared by some other experts, including Paul Jones,
general manager of the Irvine Ranch Water District, a south Orange County water
supplier that is itself a customer of Orange County Water District. Recycling and
desalination projects will get an earlier boost of encouragement from water agencies if
the Imperial Valley agreement can't be revived.

control, parks, public trails and habitat restoration. The bill by Lou Correa, D-Anaheim,
does not specify what kind of projects would be built or when. Even the governing body
to make those decisions would have to be appointed in the future. But the ambitious plan,
which, including the river and its tributaries, would cover 2,800 square miles in three
counties, would be patterned after similar conservancies overseeing the San Diego and
the San Gabriel rivers, Correa spokesman Bill Orton said.

state nature conservancy is an excellent way to achieve the goals of coordinating
conservation efforts and attracting funding to do so. Therefore, I have proposed
legislation to create the Santa Ana River Conservancy(Assembly Bill 496). The proposed
Conservancy would complement ongoing county efforts, including its work with the
Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA), as well as with the county's
multispecies plan and regional transportation program.

Because the tempestuous tributary of the Santa Margarita River has a tendency to flood
during heavy rains, the property near the creek is considered a flood plain by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency. The creek runs west of Interstate 15 for 11 miles from
Wildomar to Temecula, and has a flood plain that stretches up to a quarter-mile on either
side of the creek. A few businesses are willing to build in the flood plain, looking at their
proximity to the creek as a cost of doing business.

Begun in 1995, the $1.9 billion reservoir includes three dams situated in the
Domenigoni/Diamond valleys, four miles southwest of Hemet. It will take up to four
years to fill the 261 billion-gallon reservoir, which will cover 4,500 acres and double
Southern California's reservoir reserves. The second major water undertaking in the
region, the Inland Feeder Project, will connect the Eastside Reservoir to the California
State Water Project at Lake Silverwood with 44 miles of 12-foot pipeline. Construction
will continue through 1999 toward a 2001 completion.

The Chino Basin Watermaster, which manages the basin, reached an agreement in June
with Metropolitan Water District to store 100,000 acre-feet of water in the basin. An
acre-foot is about 325,000 gallons of water or enough water to supply two households a
year. If Watermaster stored more than 7 million acre-feet in the basin, water from the
basin could flow into the Santa Ana River. Since Inland Valley officials reached a
historic agreement three years ago, Watermaster has made great gains in cleaning up and
improving the Groundwater Basin, said Dennis Yates, chairman of the Watermaster
board.

conservancy could mean tens of millions of dollars for the development of parks, nature
trails and other forms of recreation along the 100-mile river, said Assemblyman Lou
Correa, D-Anaheim, who authored the bill. Critics warn a conservancy might simply add
unnecessary bureaucracy and rob counties of local control. The Riverside and San
Bernardino boards of supervisors have yet to take positions on the conservancy measure,
while Orange County voted to oppose the bill.

economic losses would exceed $30 billion. This is why we, the taxpayers, spent more
than $1 billion fixing it. The water in the Santa Ana River is urban runoff, not a good
place for a bird to raise its family. The best way to protect our environment is to get out
the chain saws, dredge and clear the river.

Public policymaking and implementation in the United States are increasingly handled
through local, consensus-seeking partnerships involving most affected stakeholders. This
paper formalizes the concept of a stakeholder partnership, and proposes techniques for
using interviews, surveys, and documents to measure each of six evaluation criteria. Then
the criteria are applied to 44 watershed partnerships in California and Washington. The
data suggest that each criterion makes a unique contribution to the overall evaluation, and
together the criteria reflect a range of partnership goals--both short-term and long-term,
substantive and instrumental. Success takes time--frequently about 48 months to achieve
major milestones, such as formal agreements and implementation of restoration,
education, or monitoring projects.
Leecaster, M. K. (2002). Assessment of efficient sampling designs for urban stormwater

Using data derived from 1 yr of continuous stormwater sampling in the Santa Ana River,
CA, Monte Carlo simulations were performed to evaluate different sampling strategies.
Three sampling designs for sampling within storms and five for sampling among storms
were considered, each of which is described briefly. The strategies were optimized to
maximize the accuracy and precision of mass emissions and concentrations of total
suspended solids. The flow-interval sampling design with 12 samples was found to
provide the least bias of storm mass emission, and the volume-weighted estimator was
found to be the best overall estimator of storm mass emissions. The random sample of all
storms or of medium and large storms resulted in the least bias in estimating the annual
total suspended solids concentration, whereas no estimator gave the consistently lowest
bias in estimating this parameter

Miller, J. (2003, June 5, 2003). Fundless conservancy OK'd for Santa Ana River. The Press
The Assembly approved legislation Wednesday creating a state conservancy to
improve and protect land along the Santa Ana River. Most Democrats and a handful of
Republicans backed the measure, which heads to the Senate for consideration. Supporters
said the state conservancy would help beautify a natural resource that flows through some
of the Inland area's fastest-growing areas. Yet the bill passed Wednesday contains no
money. Unlike the eight other state conservancies, the Santa Ana agency would have to
rely mostly on donations from non-profit groups.

352 words.
A bill to preserve land along the Santa Ana River passed its first legislative hearing
Monday despite opposition from some Orange County interests. Meant to increase the
amount of open space for fast-growing communities in Riverside, San Bernardino and
Orange counties, the measure by Assemblyman Correa, D-Santa Ana, would create a
state conservancy to manage and buy land along the river. Critics said a Santa Ana
conservancy would reduce local control of land use along the river and could interfere
with plans to extend Highway 57. Before the bill can take effect, it would have to receive
funding from the Legislature or from a future open-space bond measure. The bill would
end the conservancy on Jan. 1, 2011. Several environmental groups back the legislation.

Motivated by various public health concerns, the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality
Control Board (CA) decided to re-evaluate the waste management plan that had been
implemented in the Santa Ana River Basin. This river serves as an indirect source of
potable water for several communities in the region, but also receives wastewater
discharges from upstream communities. The Board has issued regulations requiring
wastewater dischargers (Colton and San Bernardino) to upgrade their treatment facilities
to the point where effluents are pathogen free according to California's Title 22
requirements. The performance of rapid infiltration/extraction systems in this capacity is
investigated.

it regards as the worst flood threat west of the Mississippi. The cost of the Santa Ana
River Mainstem Project, first proposed 22 years ago, now is estimated at $ 1.45 billion. It
will guard more than 3 million people from a potential 20-mile-wide flood. The Corps's
Los Angeles district and its local partners plan to build one dry dam on the Santa Ana,
increase the height of another and line sections of the wash with concrete or rock. The
Corps expects to complete a study and cost estimate of the conservation plan within a
year.

conservancy under an Assembly bill submitted Friday. Lou Correa, D-Santa Ana, who
introduced the bill said, "A conservancy can create river trails, parkland, open space,
restore habitat and protect flood control along our river, all without [taking private land]
or levying taxes." He readily admits that working out how the proposed organization
would be structured will be the difficult part, given the number of jurisdictions the river

Soast, A. (1994). Tall earthfill dam key to flood plan. ENR, 233(19), 26.
In semiarid Southern California, the big one generally connotes a seismic event. For
those near the usually docile Santa Ana River, however, the major destructive event
could be a flood. The Corps of Engineers says it could cover 170 sq miles with about 3 ft
of water, jeopardizing more than 3 million persons and 255,000 structures. To avert that,
the agency launched a $1.3-billion program. The Corps' 7-pronged defense ranges from
building a small levee and floodwalls along tributaries to making downstream channel
improvements and placing the massive Seven Oaks Dam near the river's headwaters.
Seven Oaks will be a rock and earthfill embankment standing 550 ft above the streambed
with a crest length of 3,000 ft. An excavated and grouted foundation trench will extend
as far as 80 ft below the dam. The structure will contain 43 million cu yd. Details are
provided.

Tabatabai, F. (1994). Wetland mitigation banking: Investigation of an innovative approach to offsite wetland compensatory mitigation. DAI, 55(12B), 200.
The concept of wetland mitigation banking that emerged in the 1980's has gained support
and raised criticism as a method to compensate for impacts of several projects to
wetlands. This study evaluated the success and effectiveness of existing riparian
mitigation banks and offered a watershed approach to using this wetland management
tool. Regional guidelines for mitigation banks are proposed for the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Los Angeles District that take into consideration the findings of this study.
Existing riparian mitigation banks in the Los Angeles Basin were examined using the
Wetland Evaluation Technique (WET) developed by Adamus. The effectiveness of each
bank was evaluated for providing wetland functions and values, such as wildlife habitat,
floodflow alteration, groundwater recharge, sediment stabilization, and sediment/toxicant
retention. The effectiveness varied and was generally higher for the mitigation bank
where riparian wetlands historically existed. A riparian mitigation bank in the Santa Ana
River watershed was initiated as part of this study as a two-phase project. The first phase
involved establishment of a fee-based-compensatory mitigation site, and the second
phase a mitigation bank, where restoration is in-advance of impacts to wetlands. The
results of this study demonstrate that many of the problems associated with project-byproject compensatory mitigation are also encountered with wetland mitigation banks. For
wetland mitigation banking to be a successful management tool, the focus should be on
creation of wetlands where they have existed historically.

New York Times, p. 1.32.
The latest debate centers on two of Southern California's obsessions: natural disasters and
El Nino, a warming of the Pacific Ocean that is expected to bring the region an unusually
wet winter. Fearing flooding, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works won
emergency Federal approval in October to clear the river basins of trees and brush that
engineers believe could impede the flow of water during heavy storms. Such work in the
two principal watersheds, the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers, has been put off for
several years because of the cost and because of regulations intended to protect the
environment.

Dairy deposits, transportation woes and air-quality concerns were among the issues
members of the Santa Ana River Watershed Group brought to a meeting in Washington
on Monday. Monday's two-hour meeting was to establish a relationship with the
President's Council on Environmental Quality, which coordinates federal environmental
efforts and works closely with agencies and the White House, according to Irvine
attorney Lindell Marsh, a facilitator for the group. The meeting set the stage for what is
planned to be a more detailed goals-outlining session in Lake Arrowhead in May about
the future of the Santa Ana River Watershed. Marsh said the Santa Ana River Watershed
Group's goals include: * Improving the Santa Ana River's water quality -- degraded after
decades of urbanization and dairy operations from the Chino Basin dairy area. * Cleaning
up the Chino Basin. * Improving transportation flow along the Interstate 10 corridor.

The state will prohibit restaurants, auto repair shops, factories and builders from simply
hosing off their parking lots and shop floors and letting the water and trash flow into
storm drains. Both Riverside and San Bernardino counties are scurrying to come up with
plans to ensure water running into storm drains is as clean as possible as they renew their
pollutant elimination permits as required by federal law. Most developers manage storm
runoff using sandbags, silt nets and other methods, he said. The costs appear particularly
large, especially since few of Riverside County's waters targeted by the regulations are
used primarily for recreation, said Stephen Stump.

Water quality agencies made no effort to warn swimmers or others last month after
discovering 10 million gallons of raw sewage had spilled from a ruptured pipe into the
Santa Ana River just upstream from a popular swimming hole near Riverside. The spill
occurred on July 20 and gushed wastewater from a manhole for four days before a hiker
discovered the leak. The spill, the biggest in Riverside County in five years, spread
pollution from Riverside to Prado Dam. Authorities emphasize they are still investigating
the incident and they have not determined who is culpable, Riverside, the Jurupa district
or perhaps some other party. While most of the contamination has since been removed,
the immediate concerns included: Swimmers exposed to infectious agents, including
viruses and bacteria capable of causing hepatitis, giardia or dysentery.

County supervisors today will consider a new policy to notify the public after sewage
spills in the Santa Ana River, but county health officials doubt it will keep everyone out
of the river on hot summer days. Responding to reports in The Press-Enterprise that a 10million-gallon sewage spill near a popular swimming spot went unreported to the public
for a month, supervisors in August ordered health officials to develop a new disclosure
policy. The proposed policy calls for immediate notification, by fax or other electronic
communication, to members of the Board of Supervisors, city managers in affected areas,
various county officials, members of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control
Board and The Press-Enterprise.

The USGS tested 139 streams in 30 states, including 10 in California. Scientists found
antibiotics, painkillers, contraceptives, perfumes, caffeine, antidepressants, detergents,
insecticides, fire retardants, disinfectants and other chemicals in 80 percent of the streams
surveyed. The chemicals are present at extremely low concentrations, but high enough to
be linked to sex reversal in male fish. The Santa Ana River -- a major source of Orange
County's drinking water -- is primarily waste-water effluent for much of the year, and
California's waters also included an abundance of other chemicals.

Human infections by parasitic protozoa, via water, are a growing concern. It is,
therefore, important to determine if these protozoa are present in drinking and irrigation
water sources. Water was collected from six sites within the Santa Ana River
Watershed as well as one site in the San Diego Creek Watershed. These sites include
those affected by run-off from agricultural, livestock, urban and pristine areas. Each
month, over a period of a year, four 10-liter samples were taken from each site. Samples
were flocculated with calcium carbonate and the precipitant centrifuged. The resultant
pellets were digested and inhibitors removed. Restriction Fragment Length
Polymorphism (RFLP) was employed to distinguish organisms in positive samples.
Results of the first year of sampling are presented.

The Chino Groundwater Basin is one of the largest sources of groundwater in southern
California. The basin encompasses approximately 220 square miles of the upper Santa
Ana River watershed, and is home to the largest concentration of dairies in the world
consisting of over 300 dairy farms and over 400,000 cows, heifers and calves. These
dairies produce over 1,000,000 tons of manure annually. Over the years, agricultural
runoff has impacted local groundwater reserves, resulting in elevated levels of salts,
dissolved solids and nitrates, making it unsuitable for direct human consumption without
further treatment. The need to protect the watershed's valuable waters and allow an
important local industry to remain vibrant has resulted in the need to develop creative
ways of managing the organic wastes.

A study was conducted to analyze nitrate distribution and concentration in the
underground waters of the upper Santa Ana River Basin in Southern California because
high nitrogen concentrations had been found there. Available data identifying existing
areas of high nitrate concentrations in underground waters were reviewed. Past land,
water, and fertilizer use were examined, and past waste disposal practices were
investigated. Estimates of the impact of irrigation, fertilization, and use of animal wastes
on leaching of nitrate from root zones are presented, based on measurements of nitratenitrogen concentrations in soil water at various sites. Guidelines for the use of water,
fertilizers, and manures were developed.

Chemical coagulation of eighteen groundwater samples from the Santa Ana River
Groundwater Basin was evaluated on the bench scale to determine its viability for
treating these low quality groundwaters to current USEPA drinking water standards. The
color and organic matter in both raw and treated water samples were characterized
according to UV absorbance and DOC molecular weight fingerprints. Alum coagulation
with 5 mg/L as Al successfully treated raw waters with color of up to 60 pcu and 190
$mu$g/L THMFP to meet the standards of 15 pcu and 100 $mu$g/L for color and THM,
respectively. Variations of the coagulation process which showed merit were pH
modification, pre-ozonation, and using a cationic polymer, Magnifloc 573C, as a sole
coagulant. Coagulation preferentially removed high-molecular-weight material which
was responsible for causing the greatest degree of color. These color bodies were not,
however, responsible for the majority of the THMFP.

The city of Riverside shut down one of the region's largest plant-waste recyclers Friday,
one week after the owner was notified that he was violating state laws against dumping
near the Santa Ana River. The California Regional Water Quality Control Board cited
Inland Empire Composting for taking in tons of a plastic-laden pulp and trying to conceal
it on a 46-acre site located at the Riverside city border near Colton. Inland Empire
Composting was authorized only to take in green waste -- lawn and tree clippings -- for
composting into mulch and ground cover. Other problems were noted by the regulatory
board, which is the regional arm of the Environmental Protection Agency. But Dixie
Lass, senior engineering geologist for the Water Quality Control board, said the
unauthorized pulp, spread over 16 acres, was the "clincher." Owner Jim Sullivan said he
was wrong to use the plastic-laden pulp without consulting with the water board. He said
he used the pulp as a carbon-based bulking agent to make compost.

The Aerojet site is near the juncture of Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino
counties. There, the firm detonated mustard- and tear-gas weapons, exploded depleted
uranium-tipped projectiles, and produced a galaxy of bombs and munitions. The depleted
uranium on the projectiles, which were deployed as tank-busters in the Gulf War and
Kosovo, is linked to bone cancer and kidney disease and has a half-life of 4.468 billion
years. Residents of Chino and Chino Hills claim that chemical and radioactive poisons
oozing from the site are damaging their health, even causing cancers. Though linking
specific cases of cancer to environmental causes is exceedingly difficult, 58 residents of
Chino and Chino Hills have sued Aerojet, alleging fraud, negligence and seven wrongful
deaths.

Ge/Si cycling derived from lake diatoms. Chemical Geology, 168(1-2), 9-26.
Modern river studies support the generalization that surface waters in regions undergoing
extensive chemical weathering have elevated dissolved germanium/silicon (Ge/Si) ratios
compared to regions with less extensive chemical weathering, thought to be the result of
Ce fractionation in 2:1 clays. Temporal variations in Ge/Si observed in marine diatoms
have thus been linked to past global trends in terrestrial weathering. However, this
relationship has not been adequately ground-truthed by a terrestrial-based paleoclimate
study utilizing Ge/Si ratios in lake diatoms. To this end, a sediment core was extracted
from Dry Lake (el. 2763 m) in the headwaters of the Santa Ana River of southern
California in July 1996. The Dry Lake drainage basin is comprised of biotite-muscovite
gneiss and granite, with sparse pine forests and relatively high relief. The core had a basal
AMS C-14 age of 8,350 +/- 60 ybp. We successfully separated diatom samples large
enough for cleaning, dissolution and chemical analysis without contamination by detrital
materials (confirmed by trace metal analyses). Two dissolved opal samples were
analyzed for Ge and Si concentrations along with modern water samples collected from
waters within the drainage basin. Diatoms obtained from 8000-year-old sediments near
the bottom of the core had an opal Ge/Si of 0.79 x 10(-6) (mol/mol). A composite sample
of diatoms deposited within the past 100 years yielded a significantly lower Ge/Si of 0.34
x 10(-6). Analysis of Ge/Si was also performed from a variety of other materials in the
Dry Lake basin, including stream and lake water, unweathered bedrock, soils, and
mineral separates. Together with sedimentologic records from the lake sediments and
Ge/Si recorded in other basin materials, it appears that the high Ge/Si values recorded in
the 8000-year opal sample were the result of preferential early weathering of high Ge/Si
biotite and muscovite minerals from the slopes. Thus, the detailed examination of Ge/Si
cycling in this isolated basin indicates that factors other than clay mineral transformations
may drive Ge/Si paleorecords in some settings.

Moody's Investors Service assigned a natural AAA rating and stable outlook to the deal,
noting the substantial loan repayments as collateral and strong credit quality of the
portfolio. The 50 largest borrowers have 98 loans outstanding. About 54% of the loans
could be in default for the life of the bonds, and all debt service obligations would still be
met, analysts said. However, the board is allowed to release the pledged loans down to
1.15 times annual debt service coverage, and may substitute pledged loans. The overcollateralized cash flow is projected to provide between 2.2 and 9.2 times coverage over
the life of the bonds, analysts said. The healthy credit of borrowers set to repay loans led
Standard & Poor's to assign a AAA rating to the bonds.

Using recycled water will allow local agencies to keep waste water in the area, rather
than letting it flow into the Santa Ana River, said Robert Neufeld, president of the
CCWD board of directors. The Inland Valley officials will seek federal support for their
programs that are expected to provide about 75,000 acre-feet of recycled water.
Currently, only about 6,000 acre-feet of recycled water is used, mainly for irrigation and
landscaping. The IEUA is planning a series of pipelines that would deliver recycled water
from its wastewater treatment plants to most of the western San Bernardino County cities
the agency serves.

It's not deep enough to safely dive or swim in, but a small pond of the Santa Ana River
draws large crowds seeking to escape the summer heat. The heavy crowds mirror the
heavy traffic above speeding across the Van Buren Boulevard bridge that borders
Riverside and Pedley. People have been coming to the river and pond, part of the 1,500acre Santa Ana River Regional Park, for years. But cooling off in the river could pose a
risk - depending on who you ask. State water officials say the river is a health risk, while
Riverside and Riverside County officials say there is no health risk because treated water
makes the water under the bridge safe.

The EPA is ready to build the Newmark treatment plant, but the project was left
unfunded last year when Congress cut the EPA's budget by $100 million. Proposed cuts
in this year's EPA budget could eliminate funds for Newmark as well as several other
Superfund sites. San Bernardino's water department and Riverside's public utilities
department have sent letters to [Barbara Boxer] and other elected officials urging them to
work for EPA funding of the Newmark project. Boxer said any other letters, resolutions
or formal pleas by additional local city and county officials would be "very helpful to me
when I fight this fight when I go back to Congress."

The EPA adopted pollutant standards for sediment, nitrogen, and phosphorus in the San
Diego Creek--Newport Bay watershed in 1999 and for toxic contaminants in June of this
year. Additionally, the state has adopted a nonpoint source pollution control plan,
mandated by the EPA, which delegates responsibility for devising and enforcing specific
pollution-control measures to the state's nine regional water-quality control boards. The
Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board, with authority over most of coastal
Orange County (as well as portions of Riverside and San Bernardino counties), adopted
new stormwater standards for Orange County and all its cities earlier this year. An
estimated 1,000 similar projects have been undertaken across the country.

13C NMR analyses of hydrophobic dissolved org. matter (DOM) fractions isolated from
a landfill leachate-contaminated groundwater near Norman, Oklahoma; the Colorado
River aqueduct near Los Angeles, California; Anaheim Lake, an infiltration basin for the
Santa Ana River in Orange County, California; and groundwater from the Tomago Sand
Beds, near Sydney, Australia, found branched Me groups and quaternary aliph. carbon
structures that are indicative of terpenoid hydrocarbon precursors. Significant amts. of
lignin precursors, commonly postulated to be the major source of DOM, were found only
in trace quantities by thermochemolysis/gas chromatog/mass spectrometry of the Norman
Landfill and Tomago Sand Bed hydrophobic DOM fractions. Electrospray/tandem mass
spectrometry of the Tomago Sand Bed hydrophobic acid DOM found an ion series
differing by 14 daltons, which is indicative of aliph. and aryl-aliph. polycarboxylic acids.
The product obtained from ozonization of the resin acid, abietic acid, gave a similar ion
series. Terpenoid precursors of DOM are postulated to be derived from resin acid paper
sizing agents in the Norman Landfill, algal and bacterial terpenoids in the Colorado River
and Anaheim Lake, and terrestrial plant terpenoids in the Tomago Sand Beds.

Current water quality policy under the Clean Water Act suffers from ineffective
management of disparate issues involving social, political, regulatory, and other
challenges to water quality management. Failure to meet national water quality goals is
attributed to lack of coordination between agencies and their programs, conflicting goals
of such programs, failure to address problems of individual watersheds, and fragmented
responsibilities. Examples of such obstacles to successful implementation of policies
under the Act are drawn from experiences in the Santa Ana River watershed in
California. Watershed management planning is advocated as an alternative approach to
water pollution control which can address problems inherent in the current system.

This paper defines and discusses nonpoint sources of pollution, with emphasis on
pollution by septic tank effluent and agricultural return flow. Monitoring programs for
septic tank pollution are presented in the form of case studies from the following: Fresno,
California; Portland, Oregon; Dade County, Florida; and Coastal Plain, Delaware.
Similar monitoring programs are presented for agricultural return flow from the Santa
Ana River Basin, California, Long Island, New York, and Chalk and Bunter
Sandstones, England. In the case of septic tank effluent, more consideration needs to be
given to land use control, alternatives to conventional regional sewer systems, proper
hydrogeologic input, and improvement of individual sewage treatment and disposal
systems. In regard to agricultural return flow, more attention should be given to altered
irrigation efficiencies, control of fertilizer application rates, and impact on groundwater
quality.

A state agency has hit the Jurupa Community Services District with the largest penalty
ever imposed for a sewage spill in Riverside County. The fine of $ 75,000 was levied
because the July 20 pipeline rupture that dumped 10 million gallons of raw sewage into
the Santa Ana River near a popular swimming hole occurred on the Jurupa district's line
and went undetected for four days. The Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board
also fined the city of Riverside $ 5,000 for failing to act once workers noticed
dramatically less sewage entering its Acorn Street treatment plant.

thought the time had come when they no longer needed to discourage bathers. But now,
the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board has changed its position, because
new evidence indicates the water is still dangerous.

Data are presented from a project investigating the performance of a constructed wetland
system developed to remove nitrate from the municipal drinking water supply of Orange
County, CA. Nitrate removal processes are required for this region, which supports a
population of some two million residents, both to safeguard human health and to
minimize eutrophication and algal clogging of deep groundwater recharge pools. Source
water is derived from the effluent-dominated Santa Ana River. Facilities were designed
to treat up to 1.5 m3/sec prior to use in groundwater recharge activities. Certain sections
of the marshland used for pretreatment were found to provide nitrate removal rates as
high as 1000 mg NO3-N/m2 per day.

Groundwater recharge, using treated wastewater, provides a significant portion of the
groundwater used in Orange County, CA. Treated wastewater in the Santa Ana River has
gradually increased over the past 20 yr, causing an increase in nitrate and organic and
inorganic constituent levels. The Orange County Water District has recently expanded its
water-quality monitoring program to assess the purification benefits derived from soil
filtration of wastewater. The monitoring scheme is described for determining sources of
recharge water, total amount of applied eclaimed water and recharge water,
hydrogeologic characteristics of the underlying groundwater basin, probability of dilution
of reclaimed water with natural groundwater, and the residence time of recharge water in
recharge facilities.

After meeting government requirements for treatment, reclaimed water channeled
through dual distribution systems can be made suitable for such nonpotable uses as toilet
flushing, cooling in industrial and commercial settings, and groundwater recharge. Since
there are no federal standards for reclaimed water, states have been left to decide many
issues. The degree of treatment and biological standards are debatable, and allowable
bacteria levels vary among regions.
Shields, J. M. (2003). New method for the concentration and detection of Cyclospora
cayetanensis in environmental waters. DAI, 64(02B), 135.
Cyclospora cayetanensis is a sporulating parasitic protozoan that infects the epithelium of
the upper small intestinal tract. It has been identified as both a food and waterborne
pathogen endemic in many developing countries. It is an important agent of Traveler's
Diarrhea in developed countries and in 1996–1999 was responsible for numerous
foodborne outbreaks in the United States and Canada. There has been much debate as to
where to place C. cayetanensis taxonomically due to its homology with Eimeria species.
To determine whether or not C. cayetanensis was present in southern California
environmental waters, five sites along the Santa Ana River were selected for a threeseason survey (July 1998–March 1999). Four samples were identified as positive
using the traditional PCR and RFLP protocol.

the growing trend to use brackish groundwater reclamation to augment the existing water
supply. These include: prolonged drought periods, contamination by agriculture runoff,
population growth, and the desire to improve the general water quality in is a glimpse of
the future of groundwater desalting in the Santa Ana River Watershed area.

Smythe, H. A. (1992). Applicability of the Environmental Protection Agency's Un-Ionized
Ammonia Criteria for the Santa Ana River (California). MAI, 31(02), 141.
Ammonia in aqueous solutions, exists as a un-ionized form (NH$sb3$), which is toxic to
aquatic organisms, and an ionized form (NH$sb4$). For the Santa Ana River, the current
un-ionized ammonia nitrogen objective is 0.8 mg/L which may not be protective of the
organisms in this southern California warm water stream. The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) developed an un-ionized ammonia criteria, which is far more stringent
than the current Santa Ana River un-ionized ammonia objective. In order to evaluate the
applicability of the EPA criteria for the Santa Ana River, three data sets were examined
to determine the extent of violations of the EPA criteria. The data sets include: historical
un-ionized ammonia data (1975-1985); 1986 riverwide un-ionized ammonia data and
1987 diurnal un-ionized ammonia data. The three data sets demonstrate that the EPA
criteria may be too restrictive for the Santa Ana River.

Sung, H. H. (1990). Geomorphic Setting and Origins of the Barton Flats Region in the San
Bernardino Mountains, Southern California. DAI, 51(09B), 231.
The Barton Flats region is a complex undulating surface of controversial origin. In order
to resolve the origin of the flats, this investigation is conducted at two discrete scales. At
the smaller scale, an analysis of all 42 watersheds in the upper Santa Ana River Basin
rated the source areas for the Barton Flats region in comparison with other sub-basins.
The rating was based on the fundamental properties of watersheds which affect sediment
yield. The database for the classification was built using the ARC/INFO Geographic
Information System and the classification processes involved both cluster and
discriminant analyses. The rating and classification exercise showed that the Barton Flats
region is the most prone to sediment aggradation in the upper Santa Ana River Basins.
Immediately upstream from the Barton Flats region are the watersheds with the highest
potential for sediment yield; they are characterized by the highest relief, steepest slopes,
high rainfall, and very large watershed size in addition to a high proportion of erodible
surfaces and evidence of Pleistocene glaciation. At the larger scale, a comprehensive
geomorphic description and reconstruction of past landforms shows the Barton Flats
region to be the product of Quaternary alluvial fan deposition along the margins of a
fault-bounded paleovalley. The entire Barton Flats region underwent a Pleistocene phase
of aggradation, followed by stream entrenchment. Changes between aggradation and
entrenchment phases are presumably related to the climatic changes including episodes of
glaciation in the source area, and to stream capturing events. Active tectonism which
promoted changes in stream courses and extensive small-scale landsliding produced local
variations of topography and rearranged the surficial materials on the Barton Flats region.

One major problem is that perchlorate is turning up in many unexpected places, including
at military training and test ranges where rockets and missiles -- with their large
quantities of solid propellants -- aren't believed to have been used. Some scientists
believe other types of munitions that used tiny amounts of perchlorate may be the
culprits. Many of the ordinary military ranges with perchlorate pollution lie on the
outskirts of growing cities, in places that were once distant from civilian neighborhoods
but now serve as watersheds and open space for sprawling suburban communities. Some
examples are given in the article.

More than any other state, California reflects the nation's changing demographic,
economic, and political realities. If metropolitan-wide approaches are the wave of the
future, then nowhere is that strategy more appropriate than in California. California
practically invented the metroplex concept. In the San Francisco Bay Area and in Los
Angeles-Orange County-Inland Empire, it is hard to know where the cities end and the
suburbs begin. The state is home to 4 of the nation's 25 largest metropolitan areas - the
San Francisco Bay Area, the metro Los Angeles-Orange County-Inland Empire, greater
San Diego, and the Sacramento-Yolo County area. States can play at least three important
roles in improving metropolitan areas. First, they can help cities and suburbs address their
fiscal dilemmas. Second, they can help make communities more livable by dealing with
infrastructure, traffic congestion, pollution, and parks. Finally states can help support
working families, especially those on the bottom rungs of the economic ladder, many of
whom live in distressed neighborhoods in cities and older suburbs.

In this report I present evidence of a prehistoric trade network that operated between the
inland desert and coastal regions of southern California. Jasper, a nonlocal commodity
from sources in the inland deserts, was found in large quantities at the Tomato Springs
site, a prehistoric coastal village. This lithic material appears to have been of some value
to the inhabitants of the coastal region, as evidence indicates that it was procured in
quantity for a period of approximately 4,500 years over distances in excess of 175 km.
The available data indicate that jasper trade between the inland deserts and the coast does
not fit any distance-decay models proposed for trade in spite of the distances under
consideration.

Eberhart, H. (1961). The cogged stones of Southern California. American Antiquity, 26(3), 361370.
Cogged stones are one of the few classes of artifacts which are limited in occurrence to
the "middle" period of southern California's prehistory. They are stone discs, 61/8 inches
or less in diameter, characterized by grooves or indentations in the edge. On the basis of
the nature of the latter and of the presence or absence of perforation they are described in
four types. Some of the variations may have historical significance, but this cannot be
proven with the data at hand. Few specimens have been excavated under controlled
conditions. The distribution is virtually limited to the coastal drainage south of Ventura
County and appears to center along the Santa Ana River Valley. According to the
interpretation of coastal chronology employed, cogged stones were made during the
period 6000-3500 B.C. Their use is unknown, but the absence of any pattern of wear and
the conjunctions of certain of the specimens suggest that they served some ritual function.

Mining in California began about 20 years after its settlement by Spanish missionaries.
Metals, including gold and silver, were found near Santa Barbara, San Fernando, San
Diego, Santa Ana, and San Francisco. The development of mines in California coincided
with declining production in Mexico before 1790. After that year, improved technology
revived the Mexican mines, and Upper California's mineral resources were neglected and
forgotten. During the Mexican period, placer gold was mined near San Luis Obispo and
Los Angeles. These discoveries failed to bring large immigration to the frontier because
the Hispanic governments were unable to provide adequate supplies or protection.

Examines the role of Catholic missions in California, focusing on the several ways
mission spaces have been used since their introduction in the late 18th century. First, the
missions have served an educational purpose, with a California initiative requiring every
fourth grade student to complete a project on the missions. Second, there is the obvious
spiritual purpose of the missions, with several sites continuing to be places of worship
through the 20th century. Third, the missions in many respects have been sites of social
activism or critique for social structures. This critique is evident in the art decorating
mission spaces. Fourth, there has been the presence of commerce and the selling of the
mission ideals through tourism, making the mission at San Juan Capistrano the third
most-visited site in Orange county after Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm. The final
and perhaps the most important use of the missions has been for the authentication of the
continued settlement of California. A revival in mission lore and a romanticized view of
the missions gave a purpose to California as it came out of the boom of the gold rush and
was confronted with the reality of competition with the eastern seaboard.

Describes the impact of oil production in southern Los Angeles County and Orange
County. In the period 1900-30, suburban growth in this area was tied to the expansion of
oil field development. Such cities as Huntington Park, Hermosa Beach, Long Beach, and
Whittier all benefited from petroleum production. Townships without petroleum industry
facilities, however, lacked incorporated suburbs and grew more slowly. The oil
discoveries helped urbanize Southern California and changed the way spatial distribution
in the region was taking place as oil industry suburbs grew at almost twice the rate of
other areas in the region. The incoming population to these suburbs was almost entirely
white, and housing restrictions made it nearly impossible for blacks or Hispanics to move
in. These suburbs became noted for their young, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant population.

Wallace, W. J. (1962). Prehistoric cultural development in the Southern Californian deserts.
American Antiquity, 28(2), 172-180.
Archaeological remains from the southern Californian desert region, spanning a period
from 7000 B.C. to historic times, are segregated into four broad cultural horizons. The
earliest certain evidences of human occupation consist of stone tools and weapons from
the shore line of ancient Lake Mohave. The Lake Mohave artifacts comprise types
designed primarily for hunting and related activities. Next in sequence are the lithic
materials from Pinto Basin and other localities that demonstrate a mixed huntinggathering economy. The third or Amargosa period is inadequately known. Triangular
arrowpoints, pottery, and numerous seed-grinding implements distinguish the closing
aboriginal phase. The major research needs are indicated.
Wallace, W. J. (1968). Prehistoric seasonal campsites in Southern California. Masterkey, 42(4),
134-141.
A surface survey in Orange County recently revealed four seasonal campsites of
unknown antiquity. The sparse surface finds consisted entirely of seed-grinding
implements and hammerstones and it is assumed the four camps served as temporary
bases for tiny foraging bands. Although unimpressive and meager of content, the
encampments provide useful information on the seasonal round of activities of the
region's aboriginal inhabitants.
Warren, C. N. (1967). The San Dieguito Complex: A review and hypothesis. American Antiquity,
32(2), 168-185.
The confusing terminology surrounding the San Dieguito complex is reviewed, and a
critical evaluation of the content of this complex is undertaken. The San Dieguito
complex is redefined and includes Lake Mohave, Death Valley I, and Playa I and II
complexes. An age of greater than 6000 B.C. is shown for at least one component of the
complex and a date of 7000 to 8000 B.C. is suggested for the complex as a whole. The
hypothesis is developed that the San Dieguito complex is distinct from the Desert culture
and represents a generalized hunting tradition which moved into the area along a northsouth belt in the western Great Basin.

110(11), 32.
Popular in the 1960s and 1970s, desalination technology stagnated for the next decade.
Now, dwindling water supplies are forcing cities and counties to take another look.
Desalination is accomplished through one of 2 main methods: through distillation or use
of membranes. In reverse osmosis facilities, water is forced through bundles of
membranes under pressure, leaving behind impurities. In electrodialysis reversal plants,
an electrical current transfers ions through membranes, resulting in desalted water and
concentrates.

The limited supply of potable water in Southern California could potentially stall
economic growth in the region and may be available only in restricted amounts for
environmental uses. One concept generating interest among water agencies, including
the Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) in San Jacinto, is water reclamation
through the reuse of municipal wastewater. EMWD, along with the US Bureau of
Reclamation, is investigating the use of multipurpose constructed wetlands for
wastewater treatment, reclaimed-water reuse, environmental enhancement, wildlifehabitat creation, and public education and recreation. By incorporating reclaimed water
into its water-resources-management program, EMWD will have the flexibility to
provide water of different qualities throughout the district and save potable water for
potable uses.

Conference; Create a New Excellence, Las Vegas, NV.
Southern California's water supplies may well be deficient in the near future. Several
projects to supplement water supplies are being considered by the California Department
of Water Resources and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. One
such program involves conjunctive-use storage in the Chino groundwater basin, which is
located in the upper Santa Ana River watershed in San Bernardino County. This paper
discusses the feasibility study which was conducted for this program. The study
examined operational methods for storing and extracting water in Chino Basin, the
impacts of a groundwater storage program on Chino Basin and the overlying water
users, and the engineering, economic, environmental, institutional, and legal factors
involved. The proposed program utilizes both direct and indirect storage methods
whereby water would be stored in years of abundant supply for use during times of
deficiency. The program has the capability of storing up to 1,000,000 acre-feet of water.

Southern California Association of Governments Chairman Hal Bernson with driving the
unified approach. Riverside County is seeking $100 million for environmental studies,
planning and land acquisition for work on the 91 Freeway, and $50 million to plan an
alternate route between Moreno Valley and San Bernardino. San Bernardino County
requested $30 million [with railroads expected to contribute another $30 million] to build
a grade separation at Colton Crossing, $1.5 billion for a dedicated truck was through the
Cajon Pass, $100 million to widen I-215 between I-10 and I-210, and $200 million to
replace obsolete freeway interchanges inundated by heavy truck traffic.

Picture 10,000 acres of water-guzzling reeds, stretching 30 feet high and spreading a foot
a day. Somewhere in the middle of that impenetrable mass is the Santa Ana River, which
delivers precious water to Southern California. In many places, the river has not been
visible for years. Neither have any native cottonwoods or the endangered least Bell's
vireo. Now, thanks to a $20 million allocation from a California bond issue, a consortium
of counties and governmental agencies is working to remove nearly a third of the
invasive reeds in the next five years.

The Inland Empire is tiring of its lunch-bucket regional role. Several cities are suing in
court to kill a state-mandated plan that they say would force them to accept a
disproportionate share of Southern California's future low-income housing. There's now
enough local work in service and construction jobs for blue- collar arrivals. But with
300,000 fewer local jobs than members of the workforce, the mostly middle-income
commuter corps is forced onto freeways with a terrible traffic and long distances to go.

Matthews, C. A. (1991). Using ground water basins as storage facilities in Southern California.
Water Resource Bulletin.
Southern California has traditionally relied on imported water from the Owens Valley,
the State Water Project, and the Colorado River. Because of drought conditions and other
factors, these sources are being depleted and the state is being forced to search for new
sources of supply. An alternative under active consideration is storage of water obtained
during peak supply periods in groundwater storage basins for use during dry periods. The
Santa Ana River Basin in Orange County has already been established and is providing
water to 25 cities in the county. Some of the merits and limitations of developing and
exploiting groundwater storage basins in this region are addressed.

In the 1980s, drought-stricken Californians discovered wastewater reclamation - planned
use of purified effluent to replace treated water - which became a primary method of
preserving the precious water supply. Although wastewater reuse is distasteful to some,
it remains a commonly-used and effective means of increasing local water supplies. In
some areas, reclaimed wastewater (ReW) may be the only water source. In 1992, the US
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published Guidelines for Water Reuse, a set of
recommended practices (there are no federal regulations) on safe use of reclaimed
wastewater. The guidelines cover 6 major categories of ReW use: 1. urban reuse and
irrigation, 2. industrial reuse, 3. agricultural reuse, 4. environmental and recreational
application, 5. groundwater discharge, and 6. augmentation of potable water supply. In
addition to health concerns that are likely to be voiced in any community considering
widespread use of ReW, one of the greatest planning hurdles is identifying an outlet for
the effluent.

The state will prohibit restaurants, auto repair shops, factories and builders from simply
hosing off their parking lots and shop floors and letting the water and trash flow into
storm drains. Both Riverside and San Bernardino counties are scurrying to come up with
plans to ensure water running into storm drains is as clean as possible as they renew their
pollutant elimination permits as required by federal law. Under the expired permit, home
builders were required to prevent storm runoff using so-called best management
practices, said Bill Blankenship, deputy director of the Riverside County chapter of the
Building Industry Association. Most developers manage storm runoff using sandbags, silt
nets and other methods, he said. Water the benefits? The costs appear particularly large,
especially since few of Riverside County's waters targeted by the regulations are used
primarily for recreation, said Stephen Stump, senior civil engineer with the storm water
management division of the Riverside County Flood Control District, who is preparing
the county's discharge permit.

California's two largest county farm bureaus -- Fresno and San Joaquin -- are among a
growing number of organized farmers vowing to fight a Kern County-based water
agency's proposed $22 million deal to send as much as 24 billion gallons of surplus water
south each year for 25 years to the Los Angeles basin. The Arvin-Edison Water Storage
District's proposal to send its water to the Metropolitan Water District in Los Angeles
would represent the first major water transfer under a 1992 federal law. The irrigation
district is among the Bureau of Reclamation's top five customers of federally subsidized
water coming off the San Joaquin River at Friant Dam.

Amy Zimpfer, the EPA's air division director for the southwest region, said the combined
settlement of three lawsuits does not impose any new emission reductions on agriculture.
But she said usually industries try to reduce emissions below the permit- triggering
threshold. Sharon Bolton, executive director of the Riverside County Farm Bureau, said
she was just learning about the EPA action. "Obviously we have to figure out what it
means," said Bolton. She said she already had been meeting with officials of the South
Coast Air Quality Control District to discuss their pollution reduction plans. Anne
Harper, a lawyer with Earthjustice, an advocacy law firm that settled with the EPA, said
through the permit process the state's regional air quality districts will get a far clearer
understanding of which agricultural operations cause air pollution and to what degree.
"We are targeting major sources of air pollution. It is not going to affect the small farm,"
Harper said. Zimpfer said the EPA was persuaded by the environmentalists' legal
arguments and by learning that the state's air pollution control districts "have more
information than we thought," especially about emissions from diesel pumps used in farm
irrigation.

Following the discovery of tin in 1859, the Temescal area in modern-day Riverside
County, California, became a hotbed of mining speculation and litigation over land titles.
The heyday of Temescal tin mining was brief, from about 1890 to 1892. During that
period, London investors poured money into Temescal tin mining, only to find that the
region lacked the large deposits needed to make their investment feasible. Although the
United States became a major producer of tinplate, the Temescal boom fizzled and is
remembered mainly for the litigation and the money lost in trying to develop the area's
resources.

Although the nearly 300 dairies in the Chino Valley-Riverside County area have
traditionally paid a one-time fee of $2,000 since the early 1990s for the permit, state
lawmakers changed the fee system in March. Last week, the state Water Resources
Control Board set the annual fees for dairies and other large animal facilities. The permits
are designed to prevent manure and water from coming off dairies and polluting local
water bodies such as the Santa Ana River. [Vanden Heuvel] said it's unfair to charge
dairies a waste discharge permit fee when the industry isn't allowed to discharge from
industry property.

nuclear magnetic resonance of wastewater sludges and sludge-amended soil. Soil Science
Society of America journal, 53(4), 1053-1056.
Phosphorus-31 magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR)
spectroscopy was used to examine the forms of P in two municipal sludges and a sludgeamended soil. The signal-to-noise ratio and the resolution of the spectra improved
considerably when paramagnetics in the sludge and sludge-treated soil samples were
removed by a reducing treatment involving citrate-bicarbonate-dithionite (CBD). The
spectra suggested that the P solid phases in the anaerobically digested sludge from Los
Angeles County, Cafifornia were calcium phosphates. The strong paramagnetic effects,
however, precluded more precise identification of the calcium phosphate phase. In the
anaerobically digested alum-treated sludge from Riverside, three P solid phases are
detected, carbonated apatite, a pyrophosphate, and aluminium phosphate. In the Domino
soil (fine-loamy, mixed, thermic Xerollic Calciorthid), amended with sludge from Los
Angeles County, 31P MAS NMR indicated the presence of carbonated apatite and
pyrophosphate solid phases. Class Descriptors: NAL: 56.9 SO3

The value of information about the functional relationships between targets and
instruments can hardly be understated in determining public policy measures. In this
study, these marorelations are obtained for a competitive industry by way of aggregation
over many individual firms following simple behavioristic patterns. With the exact
knowledge of the macrorelations, obtaining the numerical values of the instruments
becomes the exercise of a simple mathematical programming problem. These principles
are applied via an examination of the water pollution problems generated by the dairy
industry in the santa ana river basin. Local governments in the basin face the problem of
controlling environmental quality with minimum opportunity costs in terms of output.

The orange was an economic dynamo that helped build Southern California, then,
ironically, helped bring the end of the way of life it had promised and of the empire it had
built. A guide to the past, present, and flavor of Southern California's beautiful and
vanishing citrus country, including tourist information, is presented.

The dream of uniting the Pacific Ocean with the San Bernardino Mountains via a hiking,
biking and horse trail may be just a few years away, officials said Friday. The route along
the Santa Ana River and its tributaries has been mapped out, money is rolling in and
opposition to a pathway through San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange counties has been
virtually non-existent so far. County officials discussed the status of individual projects,
endangered species and the benefits of putting a trail through their cities and towns.The
plan must be approved by each city in the county. So far, 12 have agreed.

"We will sure look at anything we can find that will save us money," said Dan Callicott,
vice president and general manager of San Jacinto-based Agri-Empire, a potato grower
with operations in Hemet, San Jacinto Valley, Westmoreland, Anza, Borrego, Bakersfield
and the Coachella Valley. Callicott hadn't heard of the program, but said he'll probably
apply for the assistance now that he knows about it. Agri-Empire is a heavy electricity
user: It draws on power to irrigate fields, run conveyor belts, illuminate packing sheds
and cool stored food. "There is some potential (for saving energy) in terms of wells,"
said Nathan de Boom, environmental specialist for the Milk Producers Council, which
represents 270 dairies in the Inland Empire that produce nearly 1 billion gallons of milk a
year.

Murphy, D. E. (2003, Jan 17, 2003). Government strengthens threat of denying water to
California farmers. New York Times, p. A.17.
The Imperial district, which provides water to about 400 farmers in Southern California,
sued the Interior Department after Interior Secretary Gale A. Norton ordered a reduction
of about 7 percent in the district's water from the Colorado. Ms. Norton took the action
after the district missed the deadline last month to sell that amount of water to
neighboring San Diego County. She also ordered a cut in water supplies requested by the
Los Angeles-based Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. The letter by Mr.
[Bennett W. Raley] said the water districts ''should not assume that earlier drafts of
relevant documents, including provisions regarding reasonable and beneficial use, will be
acceptable to the United States.'' The principle of ''reasonable and beneficial use,'' a
mainstay of Western water law, holds that no water user has the right to waste water.

Business Journal, 11(5), 40.
Just a few years ago, visitors to Riverside County's Coachella Valley could look out over
10,000 acres of baseball-sized tomatoes that tasted as good as they looked. Today, such
production is a memory, pushed out by the relentless crush of development endemic to
Riverside, San Bernardino and Orange counties. To the average consumer, however, the
loss of Coachella production has not been noticed -- the grocery produce bins still are
laden with red tomatoes. But the disappearance of tomatoes from Coachella, the loss of
citrus in eastern San Bernardino and Riverside counties and the diminishing production
of celery, lettuce and other crops in Orange County is of profound concern to agricultural
officials in all three areas. They worry that the loss of ability to grow certain crops has
left California and the rest of the nation dependent on foreign imports, a stunning
turnabout for a nation that has taken food for granted for generations. (excerpt)

Ruth Anderson Wilson pointed across the wide and brushy alluvial plain where the Santa
Ana River sweeps under Mission Boulevard. "The river is continually under threat," the
still-feisty 80-year-old warned. Though threats might exist, the 100-mile river flows
through mostly wild terrain rather than concrete ditches, in large part because of Wilson's
decades-long work. This summer, The Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority
inaugurated the annual Ruth B. Anderson Wilson Award in honor of her contributions.
The inaugural award went to the Orange County Watershed District for its efforts in
removing a non-native, prolific, and damaging plant -- the bamboo-like plant arundo -from the river bottom.

Many California lawmakers believe that some environmental mandates have become so
complicated that they result in huge bills for taxpayers while providing little benefit to the
public. The most recent backlash occurred this week when California lawmakers
considered repealing a stringent drinking-water mandate that would cost localities an
estimated $6 billion after it takes effect next year. Many municipal market participants
worry that the state and local governments in California - already reeling from recession
and the spiraling costs of delivering social services - simply can't afford more
burdensome regulations. John Gaston, chairman of the California-Nevada section of the
American Water Works Association, believes that is the bill goes through, “the bond
market would have a swift and negative reaction.”

The Milk Producers Council complaint stems from the passage of a bill earlier this year
by state legislators. That bill, AB 10X, forces dairies to pay annual fees in order to make
up for the water quality boards' cost of regulating dairies. According to the Milk
Producers Council analysis of the bill, all dairies should be subject to the annual fees, but
only Southern California dairies are being asked to pay because they have to obtain
permits from the local water quality board. Milk Producers Council staff, however, think
AB 10X applies to all dairies because of language within the bill.

Taxes or rental charges for water use are bearable and legal and would spur water economy.
Unfortunately, the following fallacies impede acceptance of these ideas: 1. Water rights are real
property. 2. A charge on water would be passed on to consumers. 3. The cost of water is just its
development cost. 4. Markets solve most problems if property rights are firm. 5. Only
consumptive use is a social cost. 6. Common rights must spell tragedy. These fallacies are
dispelled. Water is public domain. A package of water taxes or rental charges would improve
incentives and the water economy. When one pays for water, one often shifts to higher-valued
crops, substituting capital and labor for water and raising yields. Government can thus tax water
withdrawals while improving the water economy. Water markets work badly now because no
cash drain motivates sellers and because selling prices rise indefinitely. To overcome this
resistance, policymakers must subject water licenses to severance or property taxes or other public
charges that are based on their opportunity cost values.

lawsuits. Wall Street Journal, p. 1.
An unusual move by California regulators to investigate water quality in the state may
shield water utilities from several major lawsuits, at least for a while. California's Public
Utilities Commission began a statewide investigation last week into the quality of
drinking water in reaction to four recent lawsuits filed in state Superior Court in Los
Angeles and Sacramento Counties. The suits allege that water companies knowingly sold
customers contaminated water, before many wells from Sacramento to the San Gabriel
Valley were closed after traces of industrial chemicals were found. Lawsuits were filed
against Southern California Water Co., San Gabriel Valley Water Co., Suburban Water
Systems Co. and a unit of Citizens Utility Co. The water utilities themselves spurred the
investigation, telling the commission that the lawsuits made them financially vulnerable.
The commission moved quickly out of concern that any large potential settlements could
lead to rate spikes for customers, who would ultimately foot the bill for damages awarded
in a civil trial.

Los Angeles County Ecology
Harrison, A. T., Small, E., & Mooney, H. A. (1971). Drought relationships and distribution of
two mediterranean-climate California plant communities. Ecology, 52(5), 869-875.
The summer drought-deciduous coastal sage in Southern California near Los Angeles has
a bimodal, coastal and interior, distribution at low elevations (sea level to 300 m),
whereas the evergreen sclerophyllous chaparral is developed at higher elevations. Winter
rainfall is 300-350 mm at the low elevations and 500-600 mm at the higher altitudes.
Photosynthesis and transpiration in response to artificial drying were examined in fieldcollected leaves of species from the two vegetation types. The fully hydrated
mesomorphic leaves of the coastal sage species had initially higher photosynthesis and
transpiration rates which declined rapidly during the first 20-30 min of drying,
presumably because of hydroactive stomatal closure. Chaparral species, at slightly higher
altitudes with higher precipitation and with deeper and more extensive root systems and
xeromorphic leaf characteristics, are less sensitive to conditions of high evaporative
demand and can maintain net assimilation, although low at times, throughout the long
summer drought period.

California water agency suing for MTBE remediation funds. (2003). Oxy - Fuel News, 15(20), 1.
So, the question becomes, who knew about the properties of MTBE and its potential
contamination effects. Not the spiller at the gasoline station, [Jon Hinck] said. It's the
refiner, who actually put the MTBE in the gasoline knowing that MTBE gasoline would
have a higher contamination reach than gasoline without MTBE, he said. Frank Maisano,
spokesman for the Oxygenated Fuels Association, said the lawsuit is another example of
politicians and lawyers using scare tactics to secure money. What's more, going after
MTBE producers is "a joke on its face," he said, since the Clean Air Act explicitly allows
the use of MTBE in gasoline.

Because there is very limited land available in Los Angeles County, the
environmentalists are looking at the existing earth-bottom flood-control channels as
corridors and which to create more natural habitat and build "natural rivers." While such
a desire is understandable, there are risks.

Gestation may represent a window of susceptibility to transplacental effects of
environmental exposures, including chems. in water. The N-nitroso compds. (NNC), a
class of chems. with demonstrated neurocarcinogenic potential, include substances
detected in drinking water. We used data from a study of possible risk factors for
childhood brain tumors (CBT) to study the assocn. of source of residential drinking water
during pregnancy and CBT occurrence among offspring. An increased risk of CBT was
obsd. in western Washington among offspring of women who relied exclusively on well
water, and a decreased risk of CBT was obsd. in Los Angeles County. Given the crude
measurement method used and because measurements often were obtained years after
these pregnancies occurred, the relevance of the dipstick findings is unclear.

At a July 20 meeting in Santa Monica, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California (MWDSC) and a handful of other municipal water districts met to develop an
action plan to prevent further MTBE pollution of the region's water supplies. MTBE has
contaminated nearly two dozen wells in Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego and Riverside
counties. The city of Santa Monica, which has experienced MTBE contamination in years
past, is suing several oil companies over MTBE clean-up costs, according to MWDSC.
Among the options the water agencies are looking at is suing EPA to allow California to
opt out of the RFG program, MWDSC Vice President for External Affairs Adan Ortega
told Oxy-Fuel News.

Achieving that will require tough negotiations and political savvy, something Cadiz has
worked hard at. Mr. [Keith Brackpool] was a large contributor to Gov. Gray Davis's
election campaign, and has been appointed by the governor to serve on several advisory
boards related to natural resources and growth. In addition, the company named to its
board last year Tony Coelho, formerly a powerful Democratic congressman and a former
chairman of Vice President Al Gore's presidential campaign. The Met's arrangement
with Cadiz has two components. Under the first, surplus water would be diverted from
the Met aqueduct in wet years and transferred through a pipeline to the Cadiz property for
storage. The water would be sprinkled into shallow spreading ponds, where it would seep
slowly underground. Officials in the Los Angeles area hope to buy large volumes of
privately owned water from this Mojave Desert site owned by Cadiz Inc. Citrus groves
lie in the green area in foreground. Behind it are dormant vineyards.

68(4), 467-490.
At the beginning of the 21st century rural sociologists debated the pace and extent of
industrialization in the dairy sector of the United States. The authors offer the perspective
of historical sociology to this debate, positing that time and place significantly determine
the outcomes of processes such as industrialization. They present a historically grounded
explanation for the rise of industrial dairying, which first occurred in Los Angeles
County, California. Beginning with the immigration of Dutch dairy farmers to Los
Angeles in the 1920's, a contingent and sequential process - embedded within the local
and state political economy - of exploding population growth, rapid urbanization, and
skyrocketing land prices led to repeated geographical relocations and expansions of
large-scale dairies during the next three decades. Agricultural industrialization is not
inevitable but instead is the result of contingent factors (cultural and political-economic)
as well as the particular sequencing of events and processes. In thus historicizing the
industrialization debate, the authors seek limited, rather than universal, generalizations.

Landscape sculpturing processes in Southern California are much slower than previously
believed. Pedogenetic techniques identified riverine terraces of the Santa Ana Canyon
spatially and chronologically. The investigation developed time relationships primarily
on the basis of clay development within the solum. The developed terrace dates are
22,700 YBP, 43,800 YBP, and 63,300 YBP. These correspond to dates derived from Gulf
of Mexico cores, morainal lobes in Illinois, and glacial tills in California.

Williams, A. E. (1997). Stable isotope tracers: natural and anthropogenic recharge, Orange
County, California. Journal of Hydrology, 201(1-4), 230-248.
Stable isotopic techniques have been utilized to locate occurrences and trace movements
of a variety of naturally and anthropogenically recharged waters in aquifers of Orange
County, California. This basin is of particular interest not only because it provides the
dominant water supply for the two million residents of this well-populated county, but
also because it is representative of a common arid environment where natural recharge is
dominated by distant, high-elevation precipitation transported by a major river, Such arid
basins are particularly sensitive to climatic and anthropogenic disturbance of their
recharge and their subsurface hydrology.
In order to identify distinctive waters, oxygen and hydrogen stable isotope ratios from
Orange County wells have been compared with a regional database including an array of
surface water samples representative of watershed runoff, Four distinctive subsurface
water types can be resolved. Waters of ''local'' rainfall and imported, ''Colorado'' River
aqueduct origins are easily distinguished from dominant, ''native'' Santa Ana river
compositions by use of hydrogen and oxygen stable isotope analysis. Recent human
interference with Santa Ana river flow and recharge is also marginally resolvable by
isotopic techniques. Distinguishable isotopic signatures of ''recent'' Santa Ana recharge
appear to be due to evaporative loss, perhaps during storage in the Prado Reservoir or in
percolation ponds, prior to recharge into Orange County aquifers, Characterization of
traceable isotopic signatures of distinct natural and anthropogenic recharge components
provides a major advance towards use of such techniques for developing a well
constrained, three-dimensional hydrologic model for this complex basin.

delineate groundwater flow in Orange County, California. MAI, 37(05), 148.
Isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen serve as natural tracers in groundwater and may be used
to delineate the complex groundwater movement through Pleistocene and Recent aged
aquifers of the Lower Forebay in Northern Orange County, California. The
$\delta\sp{18}$O and $\delta$D analyses from 102 groundwater samples demonstrated
the existence of Colorado River water as deep as 700 to 1,000 feet bgs. Spatial variation
of tritium-helium-3 values identified a zone of fast moving subsurface flow in the lower
Forebay corresponding to a permeable, gravel-rich zone at a depth roughly between 300
to 400 feet bgs. An average flow rate of 10 feet per day was calculated using $\sp3$H$\sp3$He data from various monitoring wells located along the fast flow path originating
from the presumed point of recharge (Anaheim Lake). From about the early 1950's,
inorganic Santa Ana River water concentrations show a sharp increase in dissolved solids
as a result of urban development in the upper Santa Ana River basin. The groundwater
mixing model using $\delta\sp{18}$O values and general minerals have lead to the
conclusion that water-rock interaction is not significant within the Orange County
Forebay. However, the cation chemistry of groundwaters may have been altered by
subsurface ion exchange with clays. Ion exchange best explains the potassium
(K$\sp{+}$) and sodium (Na$\sp{+}$) deficit in groundwaters within the lower Forebay
as modeled by Clemens-Knott et al. (1998).

Stems of the parasitic plant Cuscuta subinclusa (Convolvulaceae) discriminate among
host species and invest in resource acquisition (coil around the stem of a host plant)
relative to host quality in a way predicted by a marginal value model of resource use.
Larger parasites are more likely to overwinter and set seed a second season than smaller
ones, and parasites that start from overwintered tissue are significantly larger at flowering
than are those that have started from seed. Thus, seed set is correlated with parasite size
at the end of the season, linking the foraging response and fitness of the plant.

A gel permeation chromatog. (GPC) procedure is described for sepn. of the long-chain
linear alkylbenzenes (LABs) from fish muscle tissues. This technique was found to
remove the matrix interference significantly and thereby improve the sensitivity of
detection of LABs in the exts. Gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was then
used to quantitate LABs in different species of fish and also fish from different locations
on a transect from the outfalls from the Orange County Sanitation Districts, in the coastal
waters of Southern California. The results are consistent with the proximity of the
(sewage) source. The data, thus, show that LAB contents in fish tissues, esp. that from
white croaker (Genyonemus lineatus) are useful in assessing exposure to sewage residues
in the marine waters. This method of concg. LABs by GPC could be applicable to all
other similar biol. matrixes.

The salt-marsh vegetation of Newport Bay was separated into littoral and maritime zones
and was sampled quantitatively for frequency of occurrence and cover. The littoral zone
(marsh proper) was divided into a narrow lower belt covered by Spartina foliosa, a
broadest middle band dominated by Batis maritima and Salicornia virginica, and a
narrowest upper strip influenced by Salicornia virginica and Monanthochloe littoralis.
Although the marsh was subjectively divided into zones, individual species could not be
readily segregated into zones since the frequency of each species varied along
environmental gradients to produce a vegetational continum.

A big storm could trigger flooding of Upper Newport Bay and nearby buildings with
millions of gallons of raw sewage unless a 21/2-mile stretch of overgrown streamside
trees and shrubs is immediately destroyed and removed, county officials said Wednesday.
The willows, mulefat and other plants have been growing for years, and have become
valuable habitat for egrets, herons and other creatures. But calculations by flood
engineers this summer revealed the channel was so full of trees and sediment that a 10year storm - - that is, a storm of an intensity expected roughly every 10 years, but that
could happen any year -- would swamp the Irvine Ranch Water District sewage treatment
plant on the creek's west bank.

Dwight, R. H. (2001). Health and economic impacts of coastal water pollution in North Orange
County, California: A multi-disciplinary analysis. DAI, 62(10B), 122.
California's North Orange County (NOC) has an increasing problem with urban runoff
polluting the coastal waters. This multi-disciplinary analysis was designed to investigate
to what extent, if any, the urban runoff and polluted coastal waters affect public health
and economics. The primary conclusions from this research project are: (1) Urban runoff
from the three rivers (Los Angeles, San Gabriel, Santa Ana) is the primary source of
pollution affecting NOC's coastal waters. (2) Increased illness rates in NOC surfers
during the El Niño winter-indicates there is a public health risk from recreational
exposure to coastal waters in this area. (3) The economic burden of illnesses associated
with polluted recreational waters is significant and should be considered in economic
analysis of pollution abatement options.

Along a contiguous stretch of coastline in Huntington Beach and Newport Beach, CA,
historical enterococcus density data were obtained for the period June 1998-December
2000, and relationships between enterococcus density and highly credible gastrointestinal
illness were examined to determine risk to the individual bather from exposure to sewage
and storm-drain runoff, respectively. Although the spatial location of bathers did not
make a substantial difference in terms of the estimated aggregate illness rates, these rates
were sensitive to the relationship between enterococcus density and highly credible
gastrointestinal illness risk.

Increased public scrutiny, beach closures and media coverage -- particularly in Orange
County, California -- have placed new pressures on public agencies to deal proactively
with the issue of urban runoff. Urban runoff has many components, the most obvious
being storm water from seasonal rainfall. Nuisance flow (water that flows into drainage
systems and eventually into the receiving waters during dry weather) is a concern
because it occurs during the peak tourist season. So the city has installed 8 nuisance flow
diversion systems, which collect and divert low-flow runoff from approximately 1150
urban acres of the city into the sewer system.

For 25 years, OCWD has purified sewer water to drinking water standards for injection
into the ground water basin to keep seawater out of the underground drinking water
supply. As Orange County continues to use more ground water, the GWR System will
expand that process, providing a new source of water for the underground barrier as well
as for OCWD's water portfolio.

Angeles Times, p. 505 words.
In the case of the lower Santa Ana River, nature has been particularly rough and the
Army Corps of Engineers has set up concrete levees and made plans to raise dams. Its job
there has been not to improve hunting but to protect the thousands of lives and homes
along the river's vast flood plain. That has to remain the chief goal. Environmentalists
seek to protect an area of the river that has sprouted a riparian habitat, but in the name of
safety, engineers should go ahead with plans to dredge the bottom of the river. The plants
will come back, and future river managers can look for ways to encourage nature spots
along its banks.

USA: In California, the Orange County Water District (OCWD) plans to use new dredges from
Liquid Waste Technology (LWT) to increase water capacity in the Santa Ana River by
maintaining and restoring the percolation rate of the recharge basins. (Field Notes).
(2003). Water & Waste Water International, 18(2), 157 words.
OCWD provides over two million people in the region with their water from groundwater
reserves that are maintained by a recharge system, replacing water pumped from wells.
OCWD's facilities have a recharge capacity of some 300,000 acre-feet per year. The
recharge basins gradually accumulate a thin layer of fine sediments and biological
material that slows or even stops percolation. OCWD's new LWT dredges will maintain
and restore the percolation rate by precisely removing this thin layer of organic sediment.

All around the country, managers of water and stormwater projects are giving a new spin
to the concept of green infrastructure. In Florida, one of the South Dade Watershed
Project's central aims is to reclaim the old flood control canals, but as waterways and
greenways. The water management district hopes to create a series of hydric parks that
will serve the public and restore the natural function of the watershed. Instead of piping
effluent into the ocean, the Orange County Groundwater Replenishment System will take
effluent from the sanitary district, purify it and use it to replenish the groundwater
system. The stormwater management system of the Kennet Campus of PECO Energy Co.
in southeastern, Pennsylvania, mimics a natural system. As one naturalized detention
basin fills, the water cascades into the next wetland.

The session, organized by the law firm Manatt, Phelps & Phillips at a hotel in Costa
Mesa, drew mayors, council members and business leaders from various Orange County
cities -- all of them potentially facing stiffer regulations from regional water agencies.
One agency, the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board, could approve a new
raft of rules today that likely will include stepped-up inspection of construction, business
and industrial sites to ensure contaminated water is kept out of storm drains. Cities in
northern and central Orange County would have to develop their own programs to meet
the new rules, potentially including enforcement.

One of the biggest objections desalination promoters face is cost. The favored method for
removing salt from seawater, known as reverse osmosis, relies on filters with holes so
tiny that even microscopic salt particles can't fit through them. Much larger bacteria and
other micro-organisms are also filtered out. A second Orange County desalination plant,
proposed by the Municipal Water District of Orange County, would produce 27 million
gallons per day. That proposal is still in the early planning stages; it could be built in
Dana Point or at the San Onofre nuclear plant, using a seawater intake tunnel once used
to cool a now- defunct reactor.

Beach, said Monday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency has agreed to
reduce insurance rates in the river's flood plain downstream of Anaheim. Insurance
premiums have tended to be higher in Orange County because of the high price of
housing and the severity of the flood threat. But the Army Corps of Engineers has rebuilt
the Santa Ana River channel,substantially reducing the flood danger.

Like many utilities serving growing populations, the water and wastewater districts in
Orange County, California have been facing concurrent challenges: maintaining a safe,
reliable supply of drinking water while dealing with increasing volumes of wastewater
flow. But the county has also been faced with a challenge unique to coastal cities:
keeping salt water out of its groundwater supply basin while pumping enough water from
the basin to meet the community's needs. In an innovative solution sponsored jointly by
the Orange County Water District and the Orange County Sanitation District, treated
wastewater flows that would otherwise have required the construction of an additional
Pacific Ocean outfall pipe will be put through advanced treatment processes instead. The
highly treated water will then be reused for two purposes: recharging the local
groundwater supply basin and expanding an existing seawater intrusion barrier.

currently in use. A selection process was made including pre-qualification of bidders
after an exhaustive nationwide search and study of all known existing belt filter press
facilities. Subsequent methods were employed for purchasing belt filter presses of the
same make and manufacturer. Operating experience and maintenance costs as well as
minor modifications which were found to be desirable are documented. The paper
discusses the design criteria, capacity, polymer addn. system, performance at CSDOC
Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2, sludge characteristics and the effect of chem. conditioning.
Discussion regarding operation and maintenance criteria, such as staffing, operating and

required for the removal of odorous materials and H2S, data recording, and polymer
dosing is included. Cost considerations, including capital costs, as well as operating and
maintenance costs for the past 5 yr are covered.

18(34), 1.
For most of their existence, Orange County's water districts operated out of the public
spotlight. But no more. The fallout from the county's bankruptcy has focused attention on
the powerful districts, which have a combined revenue of $320 million a year. The three
largest districts alone--Irvine Ranch, Santa Margarita and Moulton Niguel--have
combined reserves of at least $680 million, according to Salomon Bros., the county's
financial consultant. The county, scrambling to present a recovery plan to the state
Legislature this week. is expected to propose diverting some of the districts' annual
property tax revenue, as much as $20 million a year for 20 years, for bankruptcy relief.
That would be legally easier than going after the reserves, said Salomon's Justin Bailes,
and would leave water districts with the option of raising fees, cutting expenses or
tapping their reserves to make up the lost revenue. (excerpt)

John Foley, the newly reelected chairman of the region's water wholesale agency, wants
to see local water districts contract out more services to the private sector. But he's leery
of calls to privatize the districts themselves, and he thinks the recent failed effort by
Assembly Speaker Curt Pringle, R-Garden Grove, to consolidate all of OC's water
districts tried to go too far, too fast.
Fine, H. (1996). Westminster wrestles with water options: Privatization debate may echo
throughout OC. Orange County Business Journal, 1.
A year after California-American Water Co.'s failed takeover attempt of the Santa
Margarita Water District, privatization of Orange County's public water agencies is back
in the news again. The city of Westminster is in the midst of a push to contract out its
water utility, which is facing a $10.5 million debt and needs an estimated $20 million
more in capital improvements. The city now is negotiating with three private water
companies: San Diego-based Cal-American, San Dimas-based Southern California Water
Co. and California Water Service Co. of San Jose. A final decision on whether to contract
out operation and maintenance of its water system could come next month. If
Westminster decides to proceed with privatization of its water utility, it would be the first
OC city to do so in decades. Thus, what happens there is being watched closely by the
other city-owned utilities and by private water companies eager to pick up contracts in a
new market.

Examines how the city of Santa Ana, California, responded to a changing urban
landscape. During 1960-96 the rapid growth of the immigrant neighborhoods called into
question traditional ways of municipal governance and city planning. The local
government used land use policy to promote urban revitalization and bring substandard
housing up to code. Initially the urban policy choices fueled neighborhood-based protest
and exacerbated racial and class tensions throughout the city; however, neighborhood
activism later created a space for government reform.

Frustrated Navy officials, who have been trying to dispose of the base since it closed in
1999, then announced a proposal to sell the site to developers. The Navy's final decision
will be announced Tuesday. The board turned the base's 4,700 acres of unincorporated
land over to the city of Irvine. Under the plan, Irvine officials would rezone the entire
site for recreation, school and other public and private uses, and would assist the Navy in
selling off the acreage.

Although the 106 ft. high Prado Dam - intended to control flooding along the Santa Ana
River in Southern California - was completed three years after the 1938 disaster, the
structure's presence has not eliminated concerns that the country could once again suffer
the effects of a severe flood. With these fears in mind, the US Army Corps of Engineers
and the Orange County Flood Control District have set out to enlarge the dam, and major
construction work on the project began in early July. In March, the Corp's Los Angeles
district awarded a $67-million contract to Yeager Skanska Inc. to raise the height of the
dam 28.4 ft., construct a new intake tower, and improve the structure's outlet works.

protection of the environment. Water Science and Technology, 30(5), 195-202.
This case study presents the development and implementation of the County Sanitation
Districts of Orange County (Districts) Pollution Prevention Program (P3) aimed at
reducing the environmental release of pollutants. The P3 has been integrated in the
districts' environmental management program and incorporates the goals of the Districts'
30-yr Master Plan called 2020 Vision. The Districts take a multi-media approach to
environmental protection giving equal importance to emissions to air, water or the land.
The Districts' P3 efforts, applied in combination with an aggressive Source Control
Program, has resulted in significant redns. in heavy metals and other pollutant discharges
to the environment. The P3 is a major element of the Districts' Source Control Program.
During the past seven years, pollution prevention (the management of waste generation
or redn. of waste before it is generated) has proven to be the most effective strategy to
protect the environment. The Program has resulted in redns. in influent loadings of heavy
metals and other pollutants of concern, and an improving record of compliance by major
industrial dischargers. The redn. in metals and other pollutants has resulted in
quantifiable improvements in environmental conditions in the marine environment (in the
vicinity of the discharge) several miles offshore near the ocean outfall, in reduced air
emissions from the treatment plants, and in the concns. of heavy metals in the residual
biosolids produced for recycling. Long-term monitoring data shows improvements in
effluent toxicity (as measured by fish survival), redns. in the concns. of metals in
sediments around the ocean outfall and long-term gradual improvements in biol.
conditions as measured by the no. of species of benthic invertebrates. Data on the trends
for each of these and other conditions, are presented along with the specific methods
employed to achieve the redns. from industrial dischargers. The successes of P3 were
acknowledged by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which
awarded the Districts the Administrator's national 1992 Pollution Prevention
Achievement Award.

Brine from desalting plants if disposed to local sewerage systems could have
detrimental effects on the reclaimed water quality from a reclamation plant. The County
Sanitation Districts of Orange County and the Orange County Water District
cosponsored a study of management strategies for brine disposal from existing and
potential desalting plants. There are four major objectives: 1) to review brine quantity
and quality from the Santa Ana River Interceptor and other trunklines; 2) to project flow
and quality of other potential brine sources from the upper Santa Ana Basin and other
parts of Orange County; 3) to evaluate various flow routing strategies, investigate and
estimate the costs of new regional brine interceptors, and explore potential system
diversion options between Plant 1 and the downstream plant; and 4) to select the
best strategy or combination of strategies regarding source control, flow routing,
collection system, and/or in-plant diversions.

The Orange County Water District is supplementing nature with artificial recharge to
supply 70% of the water needs of its more than 2 million residents. As part of the
program, the District has expanded its recharge capabilities with the Santa Ana River
Inflatable Rubber Dam Project. Two inflatable rubber dams with bypass facilities to
divert river flows to off-river recharge basins have been constructed. The project consists
of one inflatable rubber dam (the Imperial Highway installation) and bypass facilities at
the headworks of the recharge basins, and a 2nd similar installation located
approximately 3 miles downstream. Two other significant aspects of the project are:
1.The bypass at the Imperial Highway dam incorporates a relatively new trashrack design
with self-cleaning debris removal equipment. 2.Limited space for bypass facilities
required a solution to complex hydraulic problems for bypass flow control, metering, and
energy dissipation.

reuse in California. Paper presented at the 1994 Water Reuse Symposium, Dallas, TX.
Indirect reuse is defined in this paper as the discharge of treated wasterwater into rivers,
lakes and streams that provide source water for municipal, industrial or agricultural water
supplies or for groundwater recharge. Indirect reuse is the more common form of reuse
in the US, especially in regions where direct reuse is limited, and offers more potential
for augmenting water supplies. The Ohio River system is an example of large scale
indirect reuse. Approximately 491 wastewater treatment facilities discharge into the
river, which is subsequently used by downstream communities as a source of
municipal water supplies. In California, the amount of indirect reuse also dwarfs all
planned reuse in the state. Surface water reuse is significant, but groundwater recharge
with recycled water is becoming a more important means of indirect reuse in California.
This paper covers groundwater recharge regulations in the state, and describes water
reuse projects on the Santa Ana River, the Prado Basin constructed wetlands, and
recharge in Orange County. It also discusses how indirect reuse is planned to meet
future water needs.

Reyes, D. (2003, November 3, 2003). Orange County; Let River Flow, or Let It Grow?; A plan to
dredge tons of sediment from the Santa Ana River would reduce danger of floods but
sacrifice riparian habitat. Los Angeles Times, p. 1003 words.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wants to clean up a 3.6-mile stretch of the Santa Ana
river from its mouth at the Pacific to just upstream from Adams Avenue. Activists such
as Vandersloot, however, see a golden opportunity to let the river revert to its natural
state and allow some of the wildlife habitat to remain. He advocates dredging a channel
in the middle of the riverbed and leaving the riverbank regrowth intact. At a recent
community meeting held by the corps, residents from both sides of the river -- which
separates Huntington Beach and Costa Mesa -- expressed dissatisfaction with the corps'
lack of maintenance, as well as Vandersloot's proposal. They fear the heavy growth of
vegetation and trees that have taken root since the river was dredged in 1990 could create
a flood threat in heavy rains. The Corps will not dredge the river during the nesting
season, and they will provide some compensation for the loss of habitat.
Robison, R. (1989). Multipoint Monitoring. Civil Engineering, 59(8), 67.
Some water agencies monitor their groundwater to safeguard the public against intrusion
from hazardous waste sites; others require data for a more general program of water
resource management. Most such agencies would welcome simpler, less costly ways of
collecting and using those data. In Orange County, California, it is called basin
management, and for monitoring, the agency is installing a state-of-the-art multilevel
system borrowed from the discipline of hazardous waste management. Rather than dig
separate wells to reach various acquifer levels, a single multipoint well provides data
from all wells. This cuts construction costs. The new wells permit piezometric levels to
be measured, water samples to be taken, and tests to be conducted for aquifer hydrologic
parameters, such as hydraulic conductivity.
Rowe, J. (2003, Mar 5, 2003). Irvine, Calif. officials consider how to re-create habitat. Knight
In approving a tax-transfer mechanism required for Irvine to annex the old El Toro
Marine base, the county took care of a major paperwork obstacle before Irvine can begin
to develop the mix of houses, schools, agriculture, stores, business and sports fields that
will make up what it's calling the Great Park. The possibilities experts offer vary greatly;
"It's a matter of what to choose; we have a big palette to work on," says Glen
Worthington, the city's principal planner.
Rowe, J. (2003, Mar 5, 2003). Restoring natural habitat in California requires science, historical
guessing. Knight Ridder Tribune Business News, p. 1.
What will emerge from Irvine planners' desks for the Great Park likely will interpret
"natural" to be vegetation representative of the area rather than a recreation of the original
habitat. That could mean some marshes though and probably the creation of some hills
and valleys to make the area more geographically engaging than the Kansas-flat base area
is now.

One of Irvine's few long-term irritants had been the adjacent and enormous El Toro
Marine Corps Air Station. The base is near the center of the county, but the flight paths,
and expected auto traffic, would generally affect the southern end far more. The
underlying debate, however, also has a lot to do with the contrast between the heavily
Republican retreat that Orange County was, focused heavily on its quality of life, with the
economically booming and increasingly ethnically diverse bastion of the ''new economy''
that it has become.

switched sides in the decadelong feud and put the county behind a plan to transform the
4,700 acres in the base into parks, golf courses and commercial development. Mayor
Larry Agran of Irvine said the park would improve the quality of life so much that it
would prove more beneficial economically.

When the Orange County Water District (OCWD) discovered a newly regulated and
potentially carcinogenic substance in two of its drinking water wells in May of 2000, its
PR staff immediately had visions of an Erin Brockovich public health scandal on their
hands. That the levels of n-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) found in the wells were
within the government-approved limit was of little comfort. Even the slightest public
trepidation about the safety of the local water supply would be damaging to the agency's
credibility - particularly if it were perceived as not being forthright about its findings. So
the agency decided to take its story to the press (and the public) proactively.

Orange County, Calif. cities prepare new rules governing urban runoff. (2003, Feb 10, 2003).
County supervisors are expected to approve the plans Tuesday. An early look at the plans
revealed some novel ideas for controlling runoff, which can flush bacteria, chemicals,
fertilizers and other contaminants into the ocean. The template, designed to meet waterboard mandates imposed a year ago, requires inspections of businesses and construction
sites to check for runoff violations, detailed sampling of runoff water for signs of
contamination, and public-education campaigns to make residents aware of the new
requirements.

Orange County Water District (OCWD) is working with the coastal and inland water
agencies and cities in Orange County, Calif., to shift ground water pumping (6.5 billion
gallons this year) to lessen the strain on OCWD's seawater barrier. The seawater barrier
holds back the Pacific Ocean from infiltrating and contaminating the fresh water in the
ground water basin, which provides water for 2.3 million residents.

application to field measurements of total coliform in northern Orange County,
California. Environmental Science and Technology, 37(24), 5511-5517.
The classic model of pollutant transport in the surf zone of a long, sandy beach developed
by D. L. Inman et al. (1971) is altered to account for first-order pollutant inactivation in
an effort to understand how rip cell diln. and bacterial inactivation control the length of
shoreline adversely impacted by microbial pollution from a point source. A
dimensionless no. .GAMMA. dictates whether phys. processes (diln. of microbes in the
surf zone by rip cell mixing) or biol. processes (microbial inactivation) control the
distribution of pollution along the shoreline. Ests. of .GAMMA. for beaches in Northern
Orange County, California, indicate that diln. is the primary factor controlling total
coliform levels surrounding two drains that release nuisance runoff directly onto the
beach. It is also shown that, even when alongshore currents are fast, pollutant levels will
drop e-fold at distances under 4000 m from the point source due to diln. alone. Because
diln. is ultimately controlled by wave climate and shoreline morphol., the results suggest
the strategic position of drains and other point sources in high-diln. wave environments
will reduce potential adverse effects on beach water quality. In addn., the results stress
the importance of understanding hydrodynamics when conducting microbial source
tracking at wave-dominated marine beaches.

Beach. Implications for the fate of sewage discharged through an offshore ocean outfall.
Environmental Science and Technology, 36(9), 1899-1906.
The potential for internal tides to transport wastewater effluent from the Orange County
Sanitation District (OCSD) ocean outfall toward Huntington Beach was evaluated. Plume
tracking study results showed the OCSD effluent occasionally moves shoreward into
water <20 m deep. Current and temp. observations indicated cold water is regularly
advected cross-shelf, in to and out of the near-shore, at semi-diurnal and diurnal
frequencies. Isotherms typically assocd. with the waste field near the outfall were obsd.
just outside the Huntington Beach surf zone, where total depth is <6 m, highlighting the
extent of the cross-shelf transport. This advection is attributed to a mode 1 internal
motion, or internal tide. Based on the analyses discussed, the OCSD plume cannot be
ruled out as a contributor to poor bathing water quality at Huntington Beach.

A big part of the debate pits perception against science. The Orange County Sanitation
District's outfall pipe, 41/2 miles offshore, pumps 240 million gallons of treated sewage
into the ocean each day. Activists believe the sewage plume from the pipe is a major
source of bacteria contamination along Orange County beaches, especially at Huntington
Beach, where a months-long closure in 1999 forced ocean contamination into the public
spotlight. The South Orange County Wastewater Authority's two outfall pipes in
southern Orange County together release about 40 million gallons of sewage per day, and
the sewage is treated to the full secondary level.

Hexafluoride. Paper presented at the American Water Resources Association: Annual
Spring Specialty Conference proceedings on water quality monitoring and modeling, San
Antonio, TX.
Artificially enhancing recharge rates of surface water into shallow aquifers requires
new methods to evaluate short-term transport near the recharge operation. An
experiment designed to quantify groundwater transport from the Santa Ana River
(SAR) using sulfur hexafluoride gas (SF6) as a tracer is described in this paper. During
this experiment, SF6 was injected into a 9-km reach of the SAR in Orange County,
California over a period of two weeks tagging approximately 3.7 x 10(6) m(3) of water.
The entire flow of the river percolated into the ground within this 9-km reach. Because
SF6 is lost from surface waters via gas exchange with the atmosphere,
concentrations decreased with distance from injection points leading to significant
variations along the axis of the river (by about an order of magnitude). Therefore, an
intensive field sampling campaign was needed to define the input function of tracer to
the groundwater system. Nevertheless, subsurface flow patterns and flow times to
selected wells were quantified over a period of about two years. Most importantly, the
leading front of the tracer plume provided information about the shortest flow time to
wells. This information is critical for evaluating changes in water quality between the
river and groundwater monitoring wells along the flow paths emanating from the SAR.

To evaluate sulfur hexafluoride as a groundwater tracer, the compound was injected into
a 9-km section of the Santa Ana River in Orange County, CA, for a period of 15 d, and
flow paths and travel times from the river to selected wells were monitored. Pure SF6 gas
was released along the length of the river by bubbling through diffusing stones placed at
the sediment-water interface. Results showed that the variation in concentration along the
axis of the river followed a predictable pattern. Concentrations were highest just below
the injectors, decreasing exponentially with distance. After transport by the groundwaterflow system, plumes were created that could be mapped easily. Groundwater velocities
averaged 2 km/yr, and a minimum velocity of approximately 5 m/d was calculated.

sanitation district is trying to assess how much additional surface water can be treated
without affecting its raw-sewage operation. The Los Angeles Times, p. 471 words.
The Orange County Sanitation District is studying how much water runoff from lawns
and streets can be treated before it ends up in the Santa Ana River and ocean. The
challenge, sanitation district officials say, is processing additional runoff without
jeopardizing its primary mission of treating raw sewage. Between 40 million and 100
million gallons of runoff a day course through the county in the dry season, Anderson
said, and local agencies are trying to improve their water-diversion systems so more of it
can flow first to sewage treatment centers before it is dumped in the ocean. Untreated
runoff is so polluted, mostly with animal waste, that the Santa Ana Regional Water
Quality Control Board issued pollution violation notices in December to the county and
the cities of Santa Ana, Fountain Valley, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach and Newport
Beach. About four years ago, the sanitation district began treating dry-season runoff in
addition to conventional sewage. The runoff picks up bacteria as it runs across yards,
sidewalks, streets and gutters and flows into storm channels. "The treatment has helped,
and we'd like to see the sanitation district handle more," said Ken Theisen, a staff
environmental scientist for the regional water quality control board.

Impact of multiple TMDLs on the Newport Bay watershed. Paper presented at the 2000
Water Reuse Conference Proceedings, San Antonio, TX.
California is an National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) state and
administers the Clean Water Act under the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Act. This act
set up the State Water Resources Control Board as the primary governing body, but to
allow for regional differences, also set up nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards
to administer NPDES and other Clean Water Act programs. Therefore, when the US
Environmental Protection Agency entered into a Consent Decree with 'Defend the Bay',
a Newport Bay public interest group, to establish Total Maximum Daily Loads
(TMDLs) identified on the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional
Board) 303(d) list, the duty to determine assimilative pollutant capacity of Newport
Bay, set waste load and load allocations, then develop management plans to
implement water quality requirements according to the schedule in the Consent Decree
fell upon the Regional Board. Should the Regional Board fail to meet the requirements of
the Consent Decree, the EPA will independently establish TMDLs and require the
Regional Board to enforce them. This paper describes the TMDL process followed
by the Regional Board in developing sediment, nutrient and pathogen TDMLs.

As a result of the nitrification episode in Orage County Reservoir of California the

relations were obsd. between the nos. of AOB and temp., heterotrophic plate count, and
NO2-. Addnl. anal. within the reservoir indicated that high nos. of AOB predominated in
the bottom sediment, which may provide a protective environment for their survival and
growth.

"typically minor." Health reports show that most of the nation's beaches are clean most
of the time. The Clean Beaches Council released its fourth annual "Blue Wave" list of

of surf zone pollution: A mass budget analysis of fecal indicator bacteria at Huntington
Beach, California. Environmental Science and, Technology, ACS ASAP.
The surf zone is the unique environment where ocean meets land and a place of crit.
ecol., economic, and recreational importance. In the United States, this natural resource is
increasingly off-limits to the public due to elevated concns. of fecal indicator bacteria and
other contaminants, the sources of which are often unknown. In this paper, we describe
an approach for calcg. mass budgets of pollutants in the surf zone from shoreline
monitoring data. The anal. reveals that fecal indicator bacteria pollution in the surf zone
at several contiguous beaches in Orange County, California, originates from well-defined
locations along the shore, including the tidal outlets of the Santa Ana River and Talbert
Marsh. Fecal pollution flows into the ocean from the Santa Ana River and Talbert Marsh
outlets during ebb tides and from there is transported parallel to the shoreline by wavedriven surf zone currents and/or offshore tidal currents, frequently contaminating >5 km
of the surf zone. The methodol. developed here for locating and quantifying sources of
surf zone pollution should be applicable to a wide array of contaminants and coastal
settings.

Organic contaminants in sediment were measured in samples collected from five stations
in the Newport Submarine Canyon, Calif., and six nominal 60-m shelf stations (19851991); the 60-m stations included one at the terminus of an ocean outfall. Two
hypotheses were tested: there is no increase in sediment contaminant concentration with
water depth in Newport Canyon and there is no difference in contaminant concentration
between the canyon and adjacent shelf Based on analyses herein, hypothesis one was
accepted and hypothesis two was rejected. Mean DDE, tDDT, and Aroclor 1254 were
higher in the canyon (Station C2) and tPCB was higher at the ocean outfall (Station 0).
The results presented here show that the canyon serves as a sediment trap for elevated
concentrations of both trace metals and organic compounds.

Orange County Water District (OCWD) has implemented two unique recharge
programs as part of its groundwater resources management plan. The first program is
Water Factory 21 (WF-21), an advanced wastewater reclamation project that directly
injects highly treated reclaimed water into coastal aquifers to prevent seawater
intrusion. The second recharge program involves surface spreading of water for
groundwater recharge in northeastern Orange County. This program takes advantage
of the natural percolation capacity of the Orange County Forebay area where the
majority of groundwater recharge in Orange County occurs. Ten spreading basins and
in-channel facilities are used to percolate Santa Ana River flows and imported water
into the groundwater basin. This chapter discusses the operational parameters, water
quality and regulatory considerations for WF-21 and the Orange County Forebay
recharge projects.

The state's temporary standard is 2 parts perchlorate per billion to 6 parts per billion. The
EPA's temporary guideline is 1 part per billion. In the 15 wells in Orange County that
have higher levels than the state standard, the average amount of perchlorate present was
6.3 parts per billion as of June 2. The EPA says it needs more time to collect data across
the nation and assess the extent of pollution before recommending a technically and
economically attainable standard. Perchlorate originally seeped into the Orange County
water supply from a Nevada rocket-fuel factory adjacent to the Colorado River. That
source has now tainted the drinking-water supply of 20 million people in three states,
including more than 2.7 million in Orange County, say EPA officials. And at least 36
additional industrial sites across California continue to seep perchlorate into the state's
ground water.

The Orange County Water District's program for water quality management has
evolved progressively over the years into one of the most aggressive programs of this
kind in the United States. The District's early actions were directed at the control of
water quality in the Santa Ana River. More recently, the District has adopted a
comprehensive eight-point groundwater protection program which is directed at
closely monitoring in-basin activities and cleaning up existing poor quality or
degraded groundwater quality. The eight-point program and the projects resulting from
it are discussed in the latter part of this paper. To understand how the eight-point
program fits into the overall operations of the District, a brief description of its other
functions are included in the first portion of this paper.
Robbins, G. (2002, Apr 13, 2002). Sensors to track coastal waters' changes along California
coast. Knight Ridder Tribune Business News, p. 1.
Scientists are preparing to place ocean sensors beneath the Newport Pier and at numerous
other locations along the California coast to search for changes tied to El Nino, global
warming and urban runoff. [John Largier] heads the University of California's new
Network for Environmental Observation of the Coastal Ocean, which operates the seven
stations. His collaborators include Brett Sanders and Stanley Grant, researchers at the
University of California, Irvine, who are studying local coastal pollution. Largier said it's
possible that the suite of sensors to be attached to the Newport Pier next month will
detect pollution that flows south from the Santa Ana River. One sensor measures
turbidity, or the amount of light filtering through the ocean. Low turbidity can be a sign
that lots of urban runoff is reaching the ocean.

Basin, California. MAI, 35(01), 132.
The Santa Ana River has a groundwater recharge basin that contributes to the aquifers
and supplies 65 percent of the drinking water used in Orange County. The Santa Ana
River below Prado Dam, in Riverside County, contains increasing concentration of
nitrates. In July 1993, the concentration of NO$sb3$-N in the river was of 9.1 mg/l and it
is projected to reach the drinking water quality standard of 10 mg/l in the near future, if
no corrective measures are taken. Nitrates originate from historic agricultural
overfertilization of crops, the dense dairy and feedlot operations in the area, as well as the
treated municipal wastewaters discharged to the watercourses. This investigation
evaluated the seasonal changes in dissolved inorganic nutrients at two stations for each of
the three tributaries to the Santa Ana River as they enter the Prado Basin. The nutrient
load was determined in each stream and was correlated with possible point and non-point
nutrient sources. Chino Creek, between February and July 1993, contributed 4.6 percent
of the total inorganic nitrogen (TIN) load and 8.1 percent of the total phosphate load
leaving Prado Dam. Similarly, Mill Creek contributed 8.4 percent TIN and 15.7 percent
PO$sb4,$ and Temescal Wash 12.1 percent TIN and 20.3 percent PO$sb4.$ Prado Basin,
a natural sink for nutrients, was found to act as a mild nutrient source during the
transitional spring months. Constructed wetlands, when used as a polishing component in
the treatment process, can remove most of the dissolved nutrients applied, depending
upon the loading and wetland hydraulic retention time. Constructed wetlands located
downstream from dairy farms, feedlots, and treatment plant effluents are cost effective
means of nutrient removal.

of Orange County, California and the Orange County Investment Pools. Also on January
24, the Commission issued a Report of Investigation concerning the conduct of individual
members of the Board of Supervisors. The enforcement proceedings concern the
fraudulent offer and sale of over $2.1 billion in municipal securities issued in 1993 and
1994 by Orange County, the Flood Control District and a school district located within
Orange County, which was not named in the actions. Misstatements and omissions
alleged in the Commission's actions include: 1. misstatements and omissions regarding
the County pools, 2. misstatements and omissions regarding the financial condition of
the county, 3. misstatements and omissions regarding the tax-exempt status of the
offering, and 4. misrepresentations to rating agencies.

The passage of Proposition 218, which requires voter approval for new (and in some
cases, retroactive approval of existing) property assessments and fees, will negatively
affect both our community and taxpayers. In California, local governments have
provided substantially all the infrastructure and services we've come to take for granted.
They include common, everyday amenities and services such as refuse collection, sewers,
sidewalks, traffic lights, water, streets and drainage systems.

Collection comprises reports from the History of Orange County, California historical
and anthropological project produced by the Works Progress Administration in Orange
County, California, from 1935 to 1939. These reports provide information on the history
of the Orange County area from 1769 to 1889, including an archaeological study of local
Native American settlements. The collection is particularly strong in documenting
politics, commerce, and the development of schools. The collection also documents land
use, the ecology, water supply issues, and agricultural practices. Most of these reports are
original or first carbon typescripts. Many contain original photographic prints, sketches,
and maps. The collection includes Gladys E. Ashby's monograph on the Native American
research findings titled A study of primitive man in Orange County and its coastal areas.

Demcak, C. R. (1994). Excavations at the Laguna Springs Adobe Site (Ora-13b): Stagecoach
Waystation and Prehistoric Camp. Pacific Coast Archaeological Society Quarterly, 30(23), iii-vii, 1-96.
Test level investigations at ORA-13B confirmed the location of the Laguna Springs
Adobe, Orange County, California, whose most prominent use was as a waystation for a
stagecoach line that ran from Laguna to El Toro in the 1880's and 1890's. Excavation of a
historic trash deposit, which had been dug into an underlying prehistoric midden,
disclosed butchered bones of sheep, cow, and pig, along with datable ceramics, both
European and indigenous. Elsewhere, chunks of plaster, adobe brick, and other
construction materials gave clues to the building techniques used on the adobe. The
prehistoric base camp surrounding the adobe was first occupied in the 14th century and
reached its peak of activity in the 17th century. Occupational refuse included shellfish
remains, arrow points, and a nested mortar and pestle. The site and the adjacent Tischler
Rock, a boulder with a carved inscription dated 1860, serve as an important link between
prehistory and the early historic era in Orange County.
Dunlap, V. (n.d.). California newspaper collection, 1848-1994 (bulk ca.1890-1960).Unpublished
manuscript.
This collection of scattered issues of newspapers printed in California consists of 100
Orange County titles and 161 titles from other urban, rural, and remote locations,
primarily in Southern California. Significant but chronologically limited coverage can be
found for papers from Los Angeles, Sacramento, and San Diego counties. The
newspapers range from popular weeklies and dailies to more overtly political
publications. Issues documented in these newspapers include the concerns of agricultural,
seaport, mining, and industrial workers; Native Americans; political campaigns; artist
communities; and the military. Coverage of the Antebellum and Civil War periods in
American history is particularly strong in issues of the Daily Alta California. Also of
interest is the relatively comprehensive coverage of the socialist weeklies Upton
Sinclair's Epic News and Upton Sinclair's National Epic News from the 1930s, in
addition to issues of Utopian News and Upton Sinclair's End Poverty. Titles range from
those issued by large publishers to independents. The collection includes a small number
of Spanish and German-language publications.

Uses accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dates for nine shell beads and two shell
ornaments to test the application to Orange County of a temporal sequence developed for
the Santa Barbara Channel region. Olivella cupped, Olivella oblique spire-removed,
Olivella end-removed, Mytilus disc, Megathura small square ring, and Megathura oval
ring beads-ornaments fell within time ranges predicted by the bead-ornament chronology
developed by Chester King (1981, 1990) for the Chumash area. Olivella biplicata barrels
and caps seem not to have been occurrences of King's Late Middle or Late periods in
Orange County, but rather there appears to have been a switch to Gulf of California
Olivella dama shells for local barrel and cap manufacture.

Excavations at ORA-58, known as the Banning-Norris site, on Newport Mesa reveal an
immense research potential for a site that is scheduled to be preserved/protected by
capping with sterile dirt. This research potential is reflected by the great variety of
unusual artifacts spanning Milling Stone to Late Prehistoric times. Ethnohistoric evidence
suggests that ORA-58 and other nearby village-sized sites were probably centered within
the territorial "orbit" of the 19th-century rancheria of Genga and that Lukup, the village
thought by some to be located on Newport Mesa, was probably located elsewhere.

Examines the question of prehistoric procurement, trade, and control of jasper artifacts at
the Tomato Springs site in Orange County, California, concluding that jasper was a local
product and that Tomato Springs people played minor to moderate roles in regional
trading networks that quite possibly did not include local jasper.
Koerper, H. C., & Hedges, K. (1996). Patayan anthropomorphic figurines from an Orange County
site. Journal of California and Great Basin Anthropology, 18(2), 204-220.
Southern Tradition anthropomorphic figurines found at the Banning-Norris site (CAORA-58) in Orange County, California, exhibit stylistic elements reflecting Hohokam
and possibly Prescott influences. These Lower Colorado Buff Ware artifacts may have
accompanied Mojave entrepreneurs involved in a textiles-for-shells commerce with the
Gabrielino and the Chumash. The presence of 12 fired-clay anthropomorphs at CA-ORA58 suggests a trade route along the Santa Ana River leading directly to Newport Mesa.
These specimens lend support to the hypothesis that CA-ORA-58 was the important
coastal village of Genga.

of California and Great Basin Anthropology, 17(2), 273-279.
Accelerator mass spectrometer (AMS) radiocarbon assays of materials from the Christ
College site (CA-ORA-378) near Irvine, California, confirm that shell fishhook and line
fishing were features of early Late Holocene and Intermediate Cultures period
subsistence technology in coastal Orange County. Other data support a similar
development of coastal line fishing in southern and central California beginning no
earlier than the third millenium BP. However, limited data from San Clemente Island
suggest shell fishhooks were employed prior to that time. The authors suggest that AMS
dating be applied to San Clemente Island fishhooks to help clarify the relationship of the
island data with established fishhook sequences for Orange County and other parts of
California.

types as temporal types: Evidence from Orange County, California. Journal of California
and Great Basin Anthropology, 18(2), 258-283.
Addresses issues of arrow projectile morphology, chronometrics, and time-space
systematics for coastal Southern California using data from the Newport Coast
Archaeological Project and the Cypress College Archaeology Program. These data
suggest temporal covariation within the Cottonwood series, with the floruit of the Leafshaped type preceding that of the triangular forms, but the data do not support the
hypothesis that Cottonwood Triangular basal configurations are time sensitive. Early
Cottonwood Triangular and Leaf-shaped point forms in coastal Southern California may
have evolved as smaller versions of atlatl morphological types found on the coast,
possibly preceding the appearance of the Cottonwood series in the Great Basin. Sonoran
series points in Orange County appear to date no earlier than the latter half of the late
prehistoric period and offer evidence of a link between the Hohokam culture and the
coast.

The traumatic experience of the Great Depression of the 1930's shook the traditionallV
conservative faith of the people of Orange County, California, but failed to alter it
fundamentally. The emphasis on self-reliance and individualism waned somewhat but
was not abandoned as Orange County citizens sought to interpret the Depression and the
New Deal program in terms of their conservative philosophy. Many concluded that the
changes wrought by the Depression required the temporary expansion of the Federal
Government's role and they therefore supported the New Deal and the Democratic Party.
But when the New Deal shifted leftward after 1936 and as economic conditions
improved, they ceased to support the Democrats and the traditional conservatism which
had characterized the people of the county reasserted itself stronger than ever. Based on
Orange County histories, public documents, and newspaper files: 41 notes.

Sleeper, J. D. (1967). Portrait of a small town: Eighty years of progress in Irvine, California.
Journal of the West, 6(4), 604-620.
Irvine, in Orange County, California, began in April 1887 when the estate of James Irvine
deeded to the Santa Fe Railroad a depot site and right-of-way across the San Joaquin
Rancho. Trains do not stop today in this community of 41 permanent residents, but it is
not a town without a history. The author traces the development of the community as a
shipping point for the agricultural products of the area. He recounts the development of
the school system which became the center of the social and cultural life of the small
community. Bypassed by major highways, the unincorporated town has been likewise
bypassed by progress. It remains what it has always been, a sleepy, peaceful community.

in Santa Ana Canyon, Orange County, California. MAI, 34(01), 135.
This thesis analyzes the complex geographical and social history of the Santa Ana
Canyon in Orange County, California. The many gaps that exist in the record of Native
American and Hispanic contributions to the region are uncovered in contrast to the
nostalgic view commonly portrayed in California history. Such canyon communities as
Yorba, Peralta, Olive, and Atwood are examined as social entities hidden by urban
development and the influx of Anglo-American culture. Using the "sequent occupance"
approach, this study reveals how a natural river valley became an extensive cattle range,
then turned into a vast citrus orchard. After World War II, people inundated the canyon,
transforming its agricultural identity into an urban one. The little-documented history of
Native American and Hispanic community members was uncovered through census
records, interviews, historic buildings, and cemetery records. This study stresses the
importance of recovering a lost sense of place.

Warner, W. H. (1939-1963). Willis H. Warner papers.Unpublished manuscript, Irvine, CA.
This collection documents the activities of Willis H. Warner, as well as the activities of
the Board of Supervisors and numerous Orange County governmental units from the
1930s through the 1960s. The collection also contains personal materials, including the
records of Warner's business, the Warner Hardware Store (Huntington Beach,
California), and materials documenting his prolific career in the public sector working for
the Westminster Drainage District, the Beach Protective Association of Huntington
Beach, and other Orange County public institutions and political organizations. The bulk
of the materials in this collection document a wide-range of political, economic, and
social issues affecting Orange County, reflected in the activities of the various County
agencies and departments. Some of the significant topics represented in these files are
airport development; environmental issues such as air and water pollution, beach erosion,
and shoreline development (including reports by consulting engineer R.L. Patterson);
civil defense; county finances; employment; fire programs; land use and planning;
freeway and highway development; county buildings; correctional facilities; parks and
recreation; oil drilling; public health and hospitals, particularly the Orange County
General Hospital; publicity and tourism; schools and school districts; and welfare and
public works programs. The largest group of these files document the activities of the
Flood Control, Sanitation, and Water Districts, which were of great interest to Warner.

In 1992, the Orange County Water Authority (OCWA) in New York launched its countywide groundwater resources study, which includes: 1. existing groundwater information,
2. an inventory of existing and proposed groundwater supplies, 3. estimates of water
demands to the year 2020, and 4. an inventory of existing and potential groundwater
contamination sites. The study showed that the development of existing and new
groundwater supplies across the county will be sufficient to meet the county's water
demands for at least 25 years into the future. At the inception of the study, county
officials decided the information would become the basis of a comprehensive GIS for a
number of county agencies and departments. OCWA selected the Auto-CAD system,
which will run on a personal computer platform.

Drop in water level points to severe drought in Orange County, Calif., area. (2002, Sep 24, 2002).
The Orange County Water District experts say the overdraft, which comes to 411,000
acre-feet, is not enough to bring serious consequences just yet. The county has seen lower
levels, including a record overdraft of 700,000 acre-feet in 1956. The overdraft means
water is being removed from the aquifer faster than it is being replenished. Normally
during dry years, the district does not like to exceed a a deficit of 200,000 acre-feet. (An
acre-foot of water is enough to supply two single-family homes for a year.) The
Metropolitan Water District, which provides more than half of the water consumed in
Southern California, will pump 90,000 to 100,000 acre-feet of water into Orange
County's aquifer by year's end to help with the problem, MWD officials said.

At the suggestion of a congressman, the Irvine Co. agreed to meet with officials from
Riverside County twice. At the conclusion of the second meeting, an Irvine Co.
transportation planner, John Boslet, suggested that using the parallel railroad corridor
might work. Q: Why is the Irvine Co. so interested in adding a second freeway linking
Riverside and Orange counties? A: [Daniel Miller], an Irvine Co. vice president, said it
benefits the county's economy and the Irvine Co.'s current and future developments to
have traffic flow smoothly between the two counties.

Brennan, P. (2002, October 9, 2002). Aquifer project abandoned in Orange County, California.
A: The project faced stiff opposition from environmental activists and Sen. Dianne
Feinstein, D-Calif., who feared it would cause ecological disruption in the fragile desert
environment. But board members who opposed the plan said they did not believe Cadiz
was in good financial shape. They also said a severe drought would likely reduce the
amount of Colorado River water available to California as soon as next year. That might
have left too little water to store in the Cadiz aquifer, making the plan too expensive. A:
Experts said Tuesday there were not likely to be immediate effects on Orange County.
But questions about how to deal with anticipated reductions in water supplies prompted
consideration of the Cadiz deal in the first place. Without careful planning, such
reductions could one day result in higher water rates in Orange County, which buys some
of its water from Metropolitan.
Brennan, P. (2003, May 28, 2003). Utility urges Orange County, Calif., gardeners to use lessthirsty plants. Knight Ridder Tribune Business News, p. 1.
The Metropolitan Water District, the region's wholesaler for imported water, wants to
change all that. Native plants consume far less water than the thirsty lawns and leafy trees
typically planted by Southern Californians. And that will become more important as the
population continues to boom and water supplies continue to tighten.

least an additional 600,000 acre-feet in surplus water to fill its Colorodo River aquaduct
to capacity. In 2000, the district imported 1.35 million acre-feet. The report was spurred
by the passage of two state laws this year that prohibit residential development unless the
local provider demonstrates adequate water is available.

Over 650 acres of percolation basins are not enough to replenish the aquifiers of
California's water-poor Orange County Water District. The solution lies in the Santiago
Creek Replenishment Project, a pumping station and pipeline designed to handle 25,000
acre-feet per year of excess storm water. Engineers had to combine many diverse design
elements and constraints into a single balanced package. A sediment transport study
revealed siltation of the pumping station inlet tunnel and, ultimately, the pumps. Inclined
turbines were installed on the slope into the gravel pit to prevent siltation. Supporting the
pumps on the sloped sides of the pit meant that the shaft was more sensitive to
misalignment. The pumping station had to move up to 90,000 gallons per minute almost
200 feet vertically to the pipeline. Despite problems, the project was completed in 1989
and is expected to help meet the county's water needs for years to come.

Milkovich, B. A. (1996). Fullerton, Orange County, California: The struggle for local control.
Southern California Quarterly, 78(4), 301-322.
Analyzes the efforts of residents of Fullerton in Orange County, California, to incorporate
as a city. Established in the boom years of the 1880's, Fullerton was an agricultural
community. As the area grew, so did the desire of its residents for incorporation and local
control, which would permit levying taxes for roads, schools, and other services.
Controversy developed over whether Fullerton would issue liquor licenses, a major
question in a region that favored prohibition. The new city, however, needed the revenue
such licenses would provide. In 1904 residents voted for incorporation, but two years
later liquor licensing was defeated. Ultimately, the issue of local control may have been
more important than the efforts to continue county-wide prohibition.

Richardson, T. G. (1992). Cost benefit comparison of groundwater injection and direct
distribution as reclaimed water transport options in Orange County, California. Dialog.
The Orange County Water District (OCWD), which has responsibility for managing a
major aquifer in northern Orange County, CA, has evaluated and compared two options
for the handling of reclaimed water. Most of northern Orange County's water supply is
drawn from an aquifer recharged by the Santa Ana River. Using cost-benefit analysis
techniques, OCWD compared the direct distribution of reclaimed water to users with the
use of reclaimed water to recharge the aquifer. Such issues as construction costs,
regulatory requirements, water storage capacity, and groundwater recharge techniques
were examined in the course of the cost-benefit analysis. Analysis results suggest
groundwater recharge to be the more desirable use of reclaimed water.

Will Orange County have enough water to meet its current and future needs? It depends,
according to water officials. In the midst of the second year of a gripping drought,
California could suffer another "critical year" next year, said a high-level water official,
adding it would be the first time in the century that the state has had three critical years in
a row. "We've had back-to-back critical years," said John Eaton, chief of operations and
maintenance for the state Department of Water Resources. "If next year's a critical year,
we'll have a hard time meeting requests." (excerpt)

For five days in February, south Orange County residents and businesses will be asked to
let their lawns go without water and not wash their cars. That's because earthquake
upgrades are going to be done Feb. 23-27 on a Yorba Linda water-treatment plant that
supplies most south Orange County cities with virtually all of their drinking water. For
south Orange County water officials, the shutdown is another reminder of the area's total
dependence on imported water.

of seawater is feared amid a decline in groundwater 'barrier.' Rates won't increase. The
Los Angeles Times, p. 435 words.
Faced with a four-year drought, the Orange County Water District will reduce pumping
water from vast underground basins along the coast to help prevent seawater from
contaminating the water supply. The groundwater basin, fed by rain and runoff from the
Santa Ana River watershed, serves about half the water needs of 2.3 million people.
Under the plan, Costa Mesa, Irvine, Newport Beach and Huntington Beach will reduce
their reliance on groundwater by 6.5 billion gallons next year to help strengthen the
seawater barrier, district officials said Monday.

[Mike Dunbar] is far from the first to gaze seaward when discussing water needs for
growing Orange County. Half the county's supply is imported from Northern California
and the Colorado River. Despite earlier failed attempts to build desalination plants here,
improved technology has lowered the cost enough that it's beginning to make sense. The
Dana Point plant would produce as much as 27 million gallons of water a day and
decrease the need for imported water in the county by 15 percent. It could eventually
serve 75 percent to 90 percent of south county's water needs, Dunbar said.

citrus industry in transition. Southern California Quarterly, 63(2), 157-173.
Analyzes changes in the southern California citrus fruit industry since its commercial
origins in the 1870's. Irrigation, railroad access to eastern markets, and creation of the
California Fruit Growers Exchange (now Sunkist) made southern California dominant in
production of oranges and lemons. Until 1950, Los Angeles and Orange counties led in
acreage and citrus production. Since then, the industry has shifted geographically.
Florida's frozen orange juice has outstripped California production of eating oranges.
Southern California's amazing population growth and urbanization came at the expense
of the region's agricultural land and economy. Los Angeles and Orange counties are now
almost completely urban; smog, taxes, and high land prices contributed to agricultural
decline. Southern California counties are still major fruit producers, however, utilizing
new laws, farming methods, and markets. 4 tables; 86 notes.

When Orange County came calling on Riverside County a few years ago for a place to
build more wetlands behind Prado Dam, the answer was an emphatic "no." The plans just
weren't people-friendly enough. Frandsen, Riverside Park Director, laid down a condition
for the proposed 430-acre marsh along the Santa Ana River where it winds through
Norco: It had to lend itself to recreation. Today, a network of horse and hiking trails is
envisioned in Orange County Water District's $ 5.3 million plan. The goal is to create a
stretch of wetlands that will cleanse harmful nitrates from river water bound for taps in
the coastal county. The water agency also plans to create environment hospitable to the
Southwestern willow flycatcher.

Owners of thousands of underground petroleum storage tanks in the state are moving

come too late for some and be too little to stave off possible ground water contamination
at nearly 900 sites in Orange County. A loan program passed by the legislature last year
was to collect fees from owners and operators of underground petroleum storage tanks,
3,785 of them in Orange County, and create an insurance fund that homeowners and
small businesses could tap into. (excerpt)

Gonzalez, G. G. (1994). The Mexican citrus picker union, the Mexican Consulate, and the Orange
County Strike of 1936. Labor History, 35(1), 48-65.
During the 1930's the Mexican consulate in Southern California tried to keep labor
organizing by immigrant Mexican farmworkers in the United States in line with the
Mexican government's labor policy. Fearing opposition from across the border or from
repatriated workers, the Mexican government discouraged leftist unions but retained the
esteem of many workers by helping organize unions that limited demands to wages and
working conditions. During the month-long strike by citrus pickers in Orange County,
California, by the Confederacion de Uniones y Obreros Mexicanos del Estado de
California in 1936, consulate representative Lucas Lucio's intense lobbying among the
workers created a split in union leadership that allowed the consulate itself to take over
control and negotiate a settlement. Radicals were purged from the union shortly
thereafter. The incident helped shape both Chicano and labor history in the region.

Describes the Mexican-American communities in Orange County, California, whose
residents were primarily employed by citrus growers and in packinghouses during the
early decades of the 20th century. Forced by segregation and discriminatory laws to take
low-paying jobs and live in colonias, Mexican Americans and Mexican citizens created a
sense of community through mutual assistance and a shared culture. They grew their own
food, gave birth, and held wakes and funerals at home. Women found steady employment
at citrus packinghouses. This village culture functioned as an extended family,
maintaining an independent way of life despite poverty and discrimination.

County, California: Interrelationship of Soils, Vegetation, Climate and Tectonics. DAI,
43(05B), 01.
Ten geomorphic surfaces reflecting periods of tectonic uplift, structural stability and
climate change near Riverside and Corona, southern California are preserved as (1)
bedrock and alluvial strath terraces; (2) alluvial fans; and (3) fill terraces. These surfaces
descend to the Santa Ana floodplain from the Pleistocene Paloma Surface (a relict river
and alluvial fan system 240 m. above present river level). Mid Pleistocene uplift caused
fan fragmentation, rapid downcutting, and formation of two bedrock strath surfaces.
Paleosols indicate periodic sedimentation interrupted major soil forming periods on the
Riverside Grand Surface formed during the Illinoian glacial and arid Sangamon
interglacial stages. The youngest paleosol caliche horizon is 97,000 (+OR-) 5,000 years
B.P. ((,234)U dating). Regional westward tilting caused channel incision and
abandonment of this surface. Wisconsin climatic cooling initiated major watershed
erosional cycles and accompanying removal of deeply weathered hillslope debris.
Aggradation on the lowered floodplain ceased when vegetation growth responded to
more humid conditions, but further erosion occurred late in the pluvial cycle. During the
ensuing interglacial, sediment on aggrading floodplains was redistributed into one
dunefield. Later dune form modifications resulted from surface abandonment and
reduced sediment supply. Extreme aridity during the Xerothermic (8,000-5,000 years
B.P.) caused floodplain aggradation. Current erosion of the Santa Ana River floodplain,
including the 1862 flood, is correlated with watershed deforestation, changing
agricultural practices, and urbanization. Increased flood control and lowered water tables
have caused floodplain degradation and vegetation changes. Mediterranean summer
drought intensifies water loss and the broad marginal sand flats adjacent to the braided
Santa Ana River channel are reworked into shifting sand sheets. Syntectonic erosion and
climatic perturbations alternating with periods of stability have preserved a stepped
topography which contrasts with the highly dissected frontal margin of the Transverse
Range. Bound by active transform faults which have caused tectonic compression and
uplift in southern California, the Perris Block has responded as a stable granitic buttress
zone accommodating recent orogenic activity by tilting and minor uplift.

Under the agreement, the IVDA would set aside and maintain 54 acres as a preserve for
the endangered kangaroo rat and the Santa Ana River woolly star, a small plant. In return,
the redevelopment agency could use about 200 acres for development on a project-byproject basis, subject to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service approval. Both lots are part of a
larger 400-acre area designated as critical habitat for the kangaroo rat.

Endangered Species Act. Annals of the Association of American Geographers, 90(2),
256-292.
This article examines the development of a subregional habitat conservation plan (HCP)
for the protection of the federally listed Stephens' Kangaroo Rat in western Riverside
County, California. Empirically, the authors demonstrate problems of incorporating
property externalities into a subregional planning process and the various ways in which
landowners and local progrowth interests have mobilized in response to HCPs developed
within the federal ESA framework. Theoretically, the authors emphasize uneven
development within Southern California's suburban-oriented mode of social regulation,
which also provides a structural context for evaluating recent moves toward multispecies
and ecosystem planning under the State of California's Natural Communities
Conservation Planning (NCCP) framework. A pilot NCCP program for the coastal sage
scrub ecosystem is fragmenting into a loosely coordinated amalgam of subregional HCPs
developed under diverse local policy regimes. The article critically discusses the extent to
which ecosystem planning in Southern California represents a revolution in the role of
the US government in managing conflicts arising from conservation measures on private
property in urbanizing regions.

Sullivan, S. (1992, December 1, 1992). Fire was a big help in battle against river cane; Officials
responsible for keeping the Santa Ana River channel clear welcomed the results of
Wednesday's riverbed fire, which wiped out 150 acres of the plant. Now there is a call for
herbicide to prevent the cane from resprouting. The Press Enterprise, p. 564 words.
Last week's raging fire in the Santa Ana riverbed was a blessing in disguise for Riverside
County, which has been struggling to contain a giant cane infestation that is steadily
choking the river channel. If officials act quickly enough, they can save several hundred
thousand dollars in labor by spraying the burned stems of the arundo with herbicide. The
fire did the work of hundreds of machete-wielding cane clearers. Paul Frandsen, deputy
director of operations for the county's park and open space department, figures he has
about six weeks before the cane takes back the riverbed. The exotic species is so
tenacious that it will resprout from one untreated stem or from one piece of cane dropped
in the water. The fire cleared 150 acres of cane in one night, a feat that would have taken
months to do by hand. There are still piles of cane waiting for disposal. Frandsen would
like to burn the dried vegetation but is having difficulty getting a permit from the regional
air quality control district. Frandsen lists a few different options.

Slow down -- storm water crossing ahead. (2002, Feb 18, 2002). The Business Press, p. 35.
Without the basins, storm runoff will cut across property owned by the university and the
city that is designated as a flood plain, preventing development. If the rainwater is
contained in a basin, the areas will no longer be considered a flood plain. Last year,
developer William P. Johnson, working on the Rancho California Temecula, North Plaza
and Vail Lake projects, claimed to have spent about$1 million regrading and building
sediment detention basins and reseeding areas -- all to control storm runoff. He faced
fines of about $1.3 million for failing to obtain the proper storm water permits and
allowing sediment-laden runoff -- muddy water -- from flowing into Murrieta Creek.

The water district serves 550 square miles of western Riverside County from Moreno
Valley south to Temecula, including 78,000 fresh-water customers and eight water
districts. It has 1,100 miles of pipe and maintains five sewage treatment plants. The
district's water and wastewater systems are not heavily reliant on computers. But the Y2K
problem provided an opportunity to re-evaluate the district's emergency plans for both its
water systems and its business functions, said Dan Ashley, director of information
systems for the water district. The district began looking at the Y2K problem in 1995,
and began incorporating solutions into strategic decisions. When the district moved its
administrative headquarters in May 1998, it replaced its network server with a Y2Kcompliant Windows NT server.

completed in 1928, is a 75-foot high, 375-foot long concrete arch dam, plus associated
thrust blocks and wingwalls, and is located on the San Jacinto River, just upstream
from Lake Elsinore, in Riverside County, California. The San Jacinto River is a
tributary of the Santa Ana River. The dam impounds an 11,900 acre-ft. reservoir, which
is surrounded by luxury homes. The drainage area above the dam is 700 square miles.
The existing spillway was designed to pass about 35,000 cfs. Due to inadequate spillway
capacity and recent changes in data and procedures for calculating Probable Maximum
Precipitation (PMP), the dam would be overtopped during a theoretical Probable
Maximum Flood (PMF). The California Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD) is
concerned that erosion at the abutments and toe of the dam could cause it to fail during
overtopping. Thus, modifications to increase spillway capacity and to provide protection
of the abutments are required.

Once the 260-billion-gallon lake fills up, Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California's primary goal will have been fulfilled: to double Southern California's surface
water retention and provide six months' worth of emergency storage south of the San
Andreas Fault. The reservoir is a well that many water districts serving Southern
California businesses and residents can draw from in the event of a drought. But the
MWD, along with officials from Riverside County and the city of Hemet, believe the
project will also become a premier recreation destination generating millions of dollars
each year for the local economy. The water district hopes this spring to open a portion of
an 80-mile network of hiking, bicycling and equestrian trails, according to MWD
spokesman Tim Skrove.

the Senate. The Press Enterprise, p. 524 words.
The effort to get rid of a major nuisance plant choking the Santa Ana River got a boost
when the House passed a federal water project bill containing $ 3 million toward doing
the job. The Water Resources Development Act also would include Murrieta Creek as
part of a pilot program to reduce flood hazards of rivers throughout the country. The
arundo’s aggressive growth has pushed out native plants.

The move is a required step toward annexation of the 1,810 acres covered by the plan. It
also paves the way for similar efforts covering a larger chunk of the agricultural preserve
- about 5,450 acres. Both sections consist mostly of dairy farms. Despite approval of the
plan, little will change in the near future in Chino's chunk of the preserve. Roughly twothirds of that portion of the dairy preserve cannot be developed because the land is in
flood plains or airport flight paths, city officials say. Orange County is considering
raising the height of the Prado Dam near Corona so the dam can withstand a so-called
100-year flood. But that project would put 320 acres of Chino's portion of the preserve
under the flood line behind the dam. The neighboring county is responsible for buying
that land.

City Manager George Lambert announced this week that the $ 425,000 reconnaissance
study by the Los Angeles district office had recommended the Corps accept responsibility
for preventing future erosion of the Norco bluffs. But a spokesman for the Corps of
Engineers in Washington D. C. said yesterday that a reconnaissance study would not
acknowledge responsibility for a problem. Lambert said that the fact that it had been sent
on to Washington D. C. for final approval was a good sign. During the storms of 1969
and 1980, the bluffs were ravaged by the rain-swollen Santa Ana River and in some areas
50 feet of land was lost. The final decision on whether to use federal funds to protect the
fragile bluffs would come from Washington.

waste water get further "treatment" as it benefits a growing wildlife area along the Santa
Ana River. The Press Enterprise, p. 1006 words.
Sewage may be the last thing that come to mind when one goes through the Hidden
Valley ponds alongside the Santa Ana River at the northwest corner of Riverside. The
series of ponds near the Santa Ana River are a sanctuary for wildlife. But the flora and
fauna are fringe benefits of a city sewage-treatment strategy that uses Mother Nature to
meet a state requirement to remove nitrogen from its highly treated sewage water. The
ponds originally were built by a gun club for duck hunting. In the 1970s, they became
part of county park called the Hidden Valley Wildlife Area and later - officials have no
precise date - the city began feeding highly treated waste water into the ponds to keep
them from drying up. It turned out this step actually helped clean the water further. By
the 1980s, a researcher at the University of California, Riverside, found that the ponds
naturally remove nitrogen from the waste water. Last year, the city completed about $ 2
million in improvements that added five new ponds and a network of pipes, dikes and
monitoring devices that doubled the amount of water going through the ponds. City
officials now want more of what they call a good thing.

Between Sep 1956 and Nov 1972, the quarry called Stringfellow Acid Pits in California
took in 34 million gallons of hundreds of different chemicals from about 100 different
companies. In 1972, the dump was shut down, but the huge uncovered lagoons
languished, unprotected by even a fence. A group of residents of Glen Avon called
Concerned Neighbors in Action have filed suit, alleging that all of the city's problems
could be traced to the dump.

with planktonic Pseudanabaena species. Water Science and Technology, 40(6), 85-90.
In the summer of 1996, off-flavor episodes involving 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) occurred
in 2 southern California reservoirs: San Vicente Reservoir, in the San Diego area, and
Lake Skinner, in western Riverside County. These events resulted in many consumer
complaints from the resp. communities served. During the San Diego episode, moderate
nos. of Pseudanabaena and other plankton were present in the water, and MIB was
detected in one sample at 23 ng/L. Two strains of Pseudanabaena that produced MIB
were isolated; cultures of this organism yielded 22 and 23 .mu.g/L, resp. Lake Skinner
water also contained a moderate no. of Pseudanabaena and other plankton when MIB
levels began to rise, with MIB reaching 10 ng/L. Liq. and agar cultures derived from
Lake Skinner water developed a strong MIB odor, and eventually three MIB-producing
isolates were obtained. MIB levels in the cultures were all <1 .mu.g/L. This was the 1st
known MIB episode of planktonic origin in Lake Skinner, and it was the 1st off-flavor
event in either reservoir in which Pseudanabaena was implicated. These 2 events
underscore the potential importance of an organism not generally recognized as a cause
of off-flavor in water supplies.

words.
The city faces fines of more than $ 100,000 for allowing too many pollutants to discharge
into the Santa Ana River from its wastewater treatment plant last year, and a solution to
the pollution problem has been stalled. Norco officials had hoped to divert wastewater
from Norco Ranch, an egg producer and the city's largest private employer, from the
local treatment plant to a regional pipeline to avoid the fines. The city asked the
California Department of Corrections, which operates a prison in Norco, to tap into the
municipal treatment system and give the egg ranch its capacity in the regional pipeline.
But the Department of Corrections has turned down the idea, saying there are too many
uncertainties about the future of the California Rehabilitation Center, a medium-security
prison with about 4,800 inmates near Lake Norconian.

Work began Aug. 7 on the Perris Water Treatment Plant, which will tap the Colorado River
Aqueduct to treat and filter supplies at an existing Eastern Municipal Water District pumping
station near East Rider Street and Evans Road in Perris. The plant will be operational by next
summer. Currently, Eastern's allocation of aqueduct water is sold mostly to agriculture users for
irrigation. Treating the water for domestic purposes will free up groundwater and recycled
supplies for commercial customers, [Peter Odencrans] said. Eastern intends to pay off the
construction bonds with connection fees from builders of new homes and businesses. A lawsuit
filed recently in Riverside County Superior Court by Barratt American Inc., a Carlsbad-based
builder of the 324-unit Montego townhome development in the Temecula area, will have no
impact on the Perris plant, Odencrans said.

A chemical that causes thyroid damage may threaten the groundwater supply in the Santa
Ana River and has contaminated at least one private well in Mira Loma used for drinking
water, state officials said this week. State Department of Toxic Substances Control
testing found that perchlorate, a component of rocket fuel, emanating from the
Stringfellow acid pits has cut a wide swath through Jurupa. State officials are issuing
warnings to well users to abandon them and begin using Jurupa Community Services
District water for drinking and other uses. State officials are awaiting test results from
samples taken from the Santa Ana River, but some suspect ithey already exists there.
The Orange County Water District, a water wholesaler for the entire northern part of
Orange County, gets about 50 percent of its water from the river. Another analysis is
scheduled for this summer.

Although the Eagle Mountain Landfill and Recycling Center has passed its most critical
test -- approval of a water permit from the Regional Water Quality Control Board -- it
will probably not get a permit to operate until next month, according to company
officials. The Mine Reclamation Corporation (M.R.C.) currently has its solid waste
application with the Riverside County Environmental health Department and must have
this application reviewed by the Integrated Waste Management Board in Sacramento
before receiving the operating permit. (excerpt)
Messinger, R. (1996, Nov 4, 1996). Standoff over Murrieta redevelopment nears end. The
Both sides have a great deal at stake in the suit, which parallels at least two other Inland
Empire cases filed in the three years since the Legislature reformed state redevelopment
law. In this case, Riverside County has challenged a proposed 3,500-acre Murrieta
redevelopment area on the basis that it is neither urbanized nor blighted - two of the
primary criteria for establishing a project area. The county also challenged a variety of
procedural matters. City Manager Stephen Harding said that current redevelopment law
makes it difficult for Murrieta to compete for economic development. "It puts us at a
major disadvantage in this trade area," he said, because Temecula has well-established
infrastructure - something Murrieta sorely lacks, he said. Infrastructure like roads and
sewers will be a major focus of Murrieta's redevelopment project if the court allows its
formation. The lawsuit has prevented Murrieta from solving some of the problems the
redevelopment area was intended to address, Harding said. For instance, Rancon
Industrial Park was designed before real estate values plunged, and its infrastructure costs
make lots there too expensive now.

An account of the founding of the Agua Mansa community in San Bernardino Valley in
1845. Conceived by ranchers Antonio Maria Lugo and Juan Bandini as a buffer against
hostile Indians, the community was settled by pioneers from New Mexico led by Lorenzo
Trujillo. In contrast to other Alta California pueblos, Agua Mansa citizens were not taken
from jails, were not gamblers and drunkards, and were known to be hard-working and
law-abiding. After California became a state, Agua Mansa and adjacent settlements were
formed into the town of San Salvador in San Bernardino County. Agua Mansa's existence
suddenly ended in 1862 when the Santa Ana River flooded the area and destroyed the
town. Primary and secondary sources; 66 notes.

Welsh, J. (2002, Jan 24, 2002). Corona, Calif. area lake to get reclaimed water. Knight Ridder
The Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District applied for the permit to put the reclaimed
water into the lake as one way to resolve a conflict with the city of Lake Elsinore. City
officials worried that reclaimed water would add more nutrients to a nutrient-heavy lake.
But the amount of recycled water the district is proposing in the pilot plan is similar to
putting a microscopic drop of bleach into a pitcher of water, [Greg Morrison] said.

The first white men arrived in Riverside County in 1774 with a Spanish expedition led by
Juan Bautista de Anza. Settlers began moving into the area in the early 19th century,
devoting themselves chiefly to cattle raising on large tracts of land granted by the Spanish
crown. Then after the drought of 1863 and 1864 they turned to the production of grains
and fruits. The County of Riverside was established as a separate entity in 1893 from a
large but thinly settled portion of San Diego County and a small but relatively populous
section of San Bernardino County. (excerpt)

Polluters are planting kelp along the Pacific Ocean in Orange County and removing a
tropical plant that's clogging flood channels and choking native vegetation. The
companies are paying off fines levied for pollution discharges or other water- related
misdeeds. The Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board has promoted this
funding mechanism because it keeps money in local projects instead of sending the cash
to a statewide water cleanup account in Sacramento. But the regional water board may
scale back the projects because it has too little staff to oversee all those receiving the cash
or the polluters paying for them.

warn people, the sewage-contaminated Santa Ana River is used for recreation. The Press
Enterprise.
Wading in the Santa Ana River can make a person sick, but when the temperature is
searing, the temptation to cool off can be great. During summer weekends, families park
along a dirt turnoff near the In-N-Out burger on Van Buren Boulevard and take a short
hike down to the river's bottom. A path surrounded by dirty diapers, beer cans and other
trash leads to the Van Buren underpass, where the river pools up into a 2-foot stream. On
hot days, residents from across the Inland area turn the Santa Ana River into their own
beach. County officials say the waters are contaminated with coliform bacteria and
potential viruses. And that's exactly what has troubled county health officials for years.
Even the prospect of human waste doesn't deter many of the weekend swimmers, who
say the water looks fine. And besides, they've swum and splashed for months -- even
years -- and haven't gotten sick.

Striving to meet increased energy demands on sweltering summer days, the Riverside
City Council voted Tuesday to build two power plants. While most cities and counties are
looking to cut costs at a time of fiscal uncertainty, there was little discussion and no
controversy before the council's 7-0 vote to spend $75 million to build the 50 megawatt
"peaker" plants and a transmission line. The city is looking to generate more energy
because two long-term contracts with the California Department of Water Resources end
in 2005 and 2008, Tom Evans said.

History, 74(1), 22-37, 131-133.
Describes the transformation of citrus agriculture in Riverside County, California, along
the lines of industrial capitalism. Citrus growers did not consider themselves as ordinary
farmers. From the 1890's on they adopted modern ideas in the marketing and distribution
of citrus fruit and in 1905 formed the California Fruit Growers Exchange (CFGE).
Riverside County growers were leaders in adopting industrial methods of growing,
packaging, and distributing citrus fruit and in viewing farm workers in industrial terms.
The growers welcomed the advice of Department of Agriculture investigator G. Harold
Powell, who later headed the CFGE.

Describes the monopoly on equipment used to process citrus production. Fred Stebler
founded the California Iron Works (C.I.W.) in 1909 and George Parker organized the
Parker Machine Works in the same year. The two competitors, both based in Riverside
County, California, fought for control of the market until they merged in 1921. Stebler
patented numerous inventions used in the processing of citrus, including washers, dryers,
conveyors, and labelers. Of special note were the C.I.W.'s fruit sizer, fruit distributor, and
fruit separator machines. In 1929 Stebler and Parker sold out to the Food Machinery
Corporation which long maintained control over citrus machinery production.

Some of the area's largest economic revitalization projects could be delayed indefinitely
now that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has designated 33,295 acres of San
Bernardino and Riverside counties as critical habitat for the endangered San Bernardino
kangaroo rat. The San Bernardino Municipal Water Department is studying how the new
habitat designation will affect a 117-acre site it wants to sell to Arrowhead Credit Union
for a new $100 million corporate campus.

The two California desert Papilio (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) species, P. indra fordi
Comstock & Martin and P. rudkini Comstock, are frequently sympatric in range but
mutually exclusive in host plant source. In 1966, optimal rainfall conditions led to a large
simultaneous emergence of the adults of both species, synchronizing the growth of the
resulting larvae, and larvae of both species switched to feeding on both foodplants
wherever defoliation of the usual foodplant had already occurred from earlier larval
feeding. But apparently when population peaks are reached simultaneously, the selective
advantage of separate hosts breaks down and direct competition through foodplant
overlap occurs.

Large amounts of sand could be necessary to turn the heavily tilled land back to the Delhi

one of the two fly experts who led the study. Alternatively, Ballmer said, the city could
heap the sand in dunes instead of spreading it evenly -- a plan that might require a bit less
sand.

San Bernardino County is looking for a plan that will allow hikers, endangered wildlife
and miners of sand and gravel to co-exist in the Upper Santa Ana River Wash. On
Tuesday, the Board of Supervisors is scheduled to consider endorsing a conceptual plan
that would consolidate mining in the west end of the six-by-two mile wash, and remove
mining rights from areas that are still unscarred but are in the path of miners. The area is
in demand for mining, flood control, habitat conservation and water management.

In comparison with collections from the early 1900's when oxidant air pollution was
essentially absent, 50% fewer lichen species were found on conifers during 3 yr (19761979) of collecting and sampling in the mountains of Southern California. Among the
five mountains ranges studies, the San Bernardino Mountains, the region with the highest
oxidant levels, had lower lichen frequency and cover values. Furthermore, at sites with
high oxidant levels, marked morphological deterioration of the common species
Hypogymnia enteromorpha was documented. Transplants of this species from the
relatively unpolluted Cuyamaca Rancho State Park into the San Bernardino Mountains
exhibited similar deterioration after a year's exposure.

Wading into a rushing stream of treated wastewater on the north side of the Santa Ana
River, biologist Brant Allen shoves a white tube into the water so he can see the
threatened Santa Ana sucker fish frolicking on the bottom. The algae-eating fish,
which can grow to be eight inches long, might be a major stumbling block to San
Bernardino's plan to sell some of its high-quality wastewater, instead of letting the water
flow down the Santa Ana River where Orange County lets it percolate into the ground for
later use.

Flood control on the Santa Ana River (San Bernardino County, California) will simplify
the floodplain ecosystem; the existing mosaic of flood-created surfaces will coalesce over
successional time into a more uniform older surface. Eriastrum densifolium ssp.
sanctorum is restricted to young surfaces within the Santa Ana River Floodplain. The
ecology of this endangered subspecies, from seed maturity to seedling establishment, was
examined to identify vulnerable life history features. Abundant seed germinated in mass
during fall storms. Significant among-site differences in seedling survivorship correlated
with several successional gradients.

watershed. Forest management is key to avoiding further damage. The Press Enterprise,
p. D03.
In the aftermath of the catastrophic fires that hit Inland Southern California, many
forestry experts have emphasized the importance of thinning our forests, hinting that the
devastation could have been far less with proper forest management. I wish to focus on
the impacts to our already stressed watershed. The Santa Ana River Watershed provides
most of the water for more than 5 million Southern California residents. In the aftermath
of the Grand Prix, Old, and Padua fires, delivering clean water to those residents is going
to be more difficult and costly. Fires burned more than 185 square miles of the
watershed, most of it in the San Bernardino National Forest. Costs to mitigate the fires'
effects on water quality are estimated at about $ 450 million. These policies and resulting
fires degrade water quality and wildlife habitats, and make providing clean water more
costly.

Concerns about the future of the Rialto-Colton groundwater basin prompted the Rialto
City Council to declare a water shortage emergency at its meeting Tuesday. Rialto
declared a water shortage emergency in July because of drought and contamination. City
officials encouraged residents to voluntarily curb their water usage, but did not enact any
mandatory measures. The silt washed from the desolate landscape could also cause
problems for water suppliers. They are concerned the ash will choke the man-made catch
basins that trap runoff and allow it to soak into the ground.

Colonies partner Jeff Burum said Monday that if the county doesn't settle now by
agreeing to pay for improvements to a flood control basin at the center of the Colonies
development, his company will seek $200 million as reimbursement for land use, legal
fees, lost money due to the litigation and for the cost of improvements to the basin. The
Colonies, however, is willing to settle for $10 million to $15 million plus a land swap in
which the Colonies would give the county the rights to the flood control basin in return
for county land of equal value somewhere else. Even if the county loses and decides to
appeal, the Colonies will simultaneously sue for damages, Burum said.
Berghouse, L. C. (2003, August 29, 2003). Developer wins judgment against San Bernardino
County, California, flood basin. Knight Ridder Tribune Business News, p. 1.
San Bernardino County has no right to a flood control basin at the heart of the Colonies at
San Antonio development in north Upland, a judge ruled Thursday. In the lawsuit
decided by [Peter Norell] on Thursday, the Colonies argued that the county Flood Control
District abandoned its right to use their property more than 20 years ago after a series of
modern flood control improvements were built. If the county does appeal Norell's
decision and the county's easements are reinstated, the county would still be responsible
for building a basin, said Colonies attorney Heidi Timken.
Berghouse, L. C. (2003, July 30, 2003). Development in Upland, California, may flood unless
control work is done. Knight Ridder Tribune Business News, p. 1.
A large water basin at the Colonies at San Antonio development will flood in the event of
a five-year storm, Upland officials say. Colonies co-managing partner Jeff Burum is
frustrated, saying a public agency such as the San Bernardino County Flood Control
District should take the lead on this issue because the basin is a regional flood control
facility. [Ken Miller] said the county Flood Control District is one to two months away
from approving a plan to cut a notch in the basin, so he does not foresee any flooding this
rainy season.

During his testimony, Ken Williams, the district's right-of-way section chief, went over a
list of easements that completely cover the Colonies' land. He also testified to the
procedure it takes to lift flood control easements. On cross examination, Williams was
not able to answer some questions poised by Colonies lawyer Scott Sommer about the
Colonies property, even though Williams is billed as an expert about the district's land
rights. While it appeared Sommer was able to find a hole in Williams' testimony about
procedures, he was not able to prove water flowing on the Colonies' land does so under
an Upland easement.

"The state has fobbed off the costs of these mandates to us because they're underfunded.
It's another typical example of state government shirking its responsibility for
something," Jim Markman, city attorney for Rancho Cucamonga and Upland, said. In a
portion of San Bernardino County, the county Flood Control District used to share the
$10,000 permit fee with 18 other jurisdictions, Rancho Cucamonga among them. Now,
all municipalities must purchase their own permit -- with an increased maximum cost of
$20,000 -- and still pay for their portion of the areawide permit. The prohibitive costs
result from the new inspection regimen required for permit compliance, Rancho
Cucamonga NPDES Coordinator Bob Zetterberg explained. According to his preliminary
estimates, it could cost $500 for each inspection -- or $2.25 million just to inspect the
city's 4,500 businesses once.

During their meeting in the Loma Linda City Council Chambers, the San Bernardino
International Airport Authority and the Inland Valley Development Agency approved a
plan that could give the airport more than 220 acres of land for development in exchange
for 54 acres that would be set aside as a preserve for the San Bernardino kangaroo rat and
the Santa Ana River woolly star, a small plant. The proposal will allow the Air Force to
clean up the dump and give the land to the airport authority in exchange for roughly
$10,000 a year for surveys and maintenance of the 54-acre preserve. The Air Force must
include the $10,000 a year and an additional $10,000 every three years in its annual
budget for studying the endangered species, according to a report by Tom Dodson and
Associates, the agencies' environmental consulting firm that crafted the proposal.

San Bernardino County officials will receive more than $5 million in federal funds to
complete control projects that they say will help protect dairies from potentially
devastating floods. This $5.6 million will be used to construct a storm drain to catch
urban runoff along Euclid Avenue. The storm drain is the last of three projects that
county and dairy officials say will keep storm runnoff from flowing onto dairy land. The
article gives a short history of the project.

Nearly every light switch and high-voltage power line in the nation tells a story that
began in the San Bernardino Mountains. It's easy to travel back more than a century to
this electric moment of history. Two of the handful of power plants that began it all are
still toiling daily along the Santa Ana River and nearby Mill Creek. Although these are
among the oldest power plants in the nation, plant operators say the two 1800s
workhorses are dependable and efficient in this era of power crisis and uncertainty. For
example, one plant is whirring along with most of its original 1800s handmade
transformers and machinery. Workers joke that they're really curators. There aren't any
catalogs or dot-coms for old hydropower parts, either. Bill Johnson, a plant operator, said,
"When we do repairs we have to make a lot of the parts by hand."

Boosters of a proposal to build a water project in San Bernardino are now talking with
Colton about turning a portion of the Santa Ana River into a corridor of lakes. San
Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District officials say lakes could be a recreational
draw for Colton, while solving some of the region's water problems. The municipal water
district recently formed a joint powers authority to explore creating a river, streams or
lake in the city of San Bernardino. Water officials say some of the water that now flows
down the Santa Ana River to Orange County could be saved using inflatable rubber
dams. Water enthusiasts could fish or relax on small boats on the lakes, which would also
allow the lowering of dangerously high ground water levels, store water to be sold and
help improve underground water quality through recharge. George Aguilar, president of
the municipal water district board, said it's time for water to start serving the region
instead of flowing west for the benefit of others.

Phun, P. (2000, January 8, 2000). Huge dam to protect against floods opens. The San Diego
Union Tribune, p. 342 words.
A massive new flood-control dam built to safeguard 3 million people but criticized by
environmentalists was dedicated yesterday in the foothills of the San Bernardino
Mountains. The $420 million Seven Oaks Dam, erected above the growing sprawl of the
inland region east of Los Angeles, is the cornerstone of a $1.5 billion effort to lessen the
effects of catastrophic floods along the 75-mile course of the Santa Ana River. Critics
worry that the dam, designed to hold back water only during periods of heavy runoff,
could evolve into a semi-permanent reservoir, jeopardizing its flood-control objectives
and destroying wildlife habitat.
Rooney, G. (1997, July 13, 1997). Flood insurance; The Seven Oaks Dam, a $ 420-million
project designed to prevent downstream disaster in the three counties along the Santa Ana
River, is ahead of schedule to meet a July 1999 finish date. The Press Enterprise, p. 1064
words.
In two years, the Seven Oaks Dam will be ready to handle the kind of major flood that
has not occurred in the Santa Ana River for 135 years. Thanks to cooperative weather and
around-the-clock construction, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers' earthen dam at the
junction of the Santa Ana and Government canyons northwest of Redlands is rising at the
rate of about six inches a day. The dam is about halfway to its eventual 550-foot height
above the river in the San Bernardino Mountains. The $ 420-million project is running
ahead of schedule to meet a July 1999 completion date, said Terence King, the resident
engineer who oversees the work. The key fixture of the corps' $ 1.4 billion flood control
project on the Santa Ana River, Seven Oaks Dam is designed to provide protection from
flooding downstream, primarily in Orange County.

Earth is finally moving steadily on the largest current embankment project in the US and
the subsidiary of an international Brazilian construction firm is making it clear how and
why it bid alone and left $29 million on the table to get the job. A principal reason, just
now being unveiled, is a complex conveyor system to rapidly deliver much of the 38
million cu. yd. of fill for Seven Oaks Dam on the Santa Ana River near San Bernardino,
California. Also, CBPO of America Inc. cut its bid to the bone to win the opportunity to
make a big mark in the US, acknowledges Ricardo A. Soares, vice president and chief
executive officer. However, the contractor's first year on the project was not smooth.
Now, after suffering a 3-month delay not of its own making, CBPO is rushing to fill the
embankment's deep excavated core trench before the rainy season begins around Dec. 1,
1995.

Local water officials suspect military munitions manufacturers that operated in north
Rialto half a century ago are the main source of perchlorate contamination in the basin.
The California Environmental Protection Agency plans to set a state perchlorate standard
by early next year that would establish how much perchlorate in water is safe. So far, the
agency has only asked water providers to alert customers if they detect four parts per
billion or more in their water.

So far, the Pentagon has not accepted any responsibility for the area's perchlorate
pollution, although the Army used a local site as a weapons depot in the 1940s. Local and
state officials hope [Goodrich]'s cooperation will help change the Pentagon's position by
turning up documents showing the Army spilled perchlorate in the area during its use of
the site. The officials also hope Goodrich and other defense contractors, if implicated as
polluters, will have recourse to Defense Department cleanup funds as part of their
original contracts.

water for firefighting and dust control," [John McGuckian] said of Citrus Plaza, one of
three major mall projects now on the drawing boards for the Redlands area. "But in order

contaminated area is in the vicinity of Highland and Locust Avenues near the Mid-Valley
Landfill, which is operated by San Bernardino County, and is suspected of leaking the
chemical.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein pledged Thursday to help find federal money to attack the problem
of perchlorate that is polluting drinking water wells in Rialto, Colton and Fontana areas.
World War II munitions bunkers in north Rialto near San Bernardino County's MidValley Sanitary Landfill held perchlorate- fueled weapons. Fireworks, which also contain
perchlorate, were also stored there. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Col. Richard
Thompson, said there was no evidence to show the Army is responsible for perchlorate
pollution found in north Rialto and Colton. He is handling the Department of Defense
and Army responses to state regulators' orders to investigate the pollution. He said,
however, a contract to conduct further research is to be signed next month, with the
inquiry continuing through next year.

infiltration/extraction process to conventional filtration for tertiary treatment of
municipal effluent. Paper presented at the 1994 Water Reuse Symposium, Dallas, TX.
To meet State of California Title 22 reclaimed water quality requirements, the cities of
San Bernardino and Colton have evaluated the use of rapid infiltration and extraction
(RIX) as an alternative to tertiary filtration. Title 22 requires that chemical coagulation
and mechanical filtration followed by disinfection be performed on secondary wastewater
effluent prior to discharge to the Santa Ana River. This paper describes a demonstration
RIX facility designed and operated for one year to demonstrate the equivalency of RIX to
conventional tertiary filtration. The facility consisted of the following components:
pipelines from the two wastewater treatment plants to convey secondary effluent to the
demonstration facility, two sets of rapid infiltration basins capable of infiltrating a total of
2mgd, ten extraction wells capable of extracting a total of 2.4 mgd from the shallow
aquifer, and 44 monitoring wells to monitor the effectiveness of the RIX demonstration
facilities. Monitoring was conducted to assess the removal of virus, reduction in nitrogen,
and general improvement in effluent quality. The resulting RIX process has been
accepted by the California Department of Health Services for achieving unrestricted
water reuse standards.

A board official said the firm, owned by Jim Sullivan, has for years illegally accepted
tons of a plastic-laden paper pulp that now covers 16 acres of the 40-acre site on Key
Street. "He's operating an illegal landfill," said Dixie Lass, senior engineering geologist
for the water quality board, a regional arm of the state Environmental Protection Agency.
Salts dissolved in the pulp could endanger groundwater beneath the site and water in the
adjacent river, which feeds drinking water reservoirs that supply Orange County. The
firm's permits allow it to recycle only green waste -- lawn clippings and other yard waste
-- which it does under contracts with a majority of cities in the San Bernardino Valley.

Once the bureaucratic tangle is sorted out, [Philip Mook] said he expected the
contaminated dirt to be removed beginning in the summer. Some soil contaminated with
radium also must be removed. A building at the base was used to paint radium on aircraft
gauges until radioactive material was banned for such uses in the 1960s. Another
building with a volatile organic compound in the soil beneath it was originally signed off
as being clean, but regulators later speculated the material could come out of the soil as
vapor, which would be a problem only if a small building were directly above it, Mook
said.

"This additional work is expanding in the direction of groundwater flow to see how far
the perchlorate has gone," said Kamron Saremi, an engineer with the Santa Ana Regional
Water Quality Control Board, which has ordered the county to investigate the perchlorate
mess. A 6-mile plume of the contaminant, a rocket-fuel ingredient, has spread from the
area near the landfill, where makers of munitions, fireworks and rocket fuel have
operated since the 1940s. Twenty wells serving Rialto, Colton, Fontana and
Bloomington have been contaminated by the chemical. There also is a perchlorate plume
in Redlands and Loma Linda, where aerospace giant Lockheed Martin is paying for
cleanup.

p. 339 words.
The only two cities that still don't triple-treat their wastewater before pouring it into the
Santa Ana River have opted for an innovative method of removing viruses. The system
could be up and running in two years. San Bernardino and Colton will jointly build a $43
million plant that uses the natural filtering properties of soil to cleanse infectious
materials from sewage. By pouring twice-treated wastewater into large, shallow ponds
and letting it percolate into the soil, then pumping it back up from the groundwater table,
the cities expect to save $20 million, compared to a traditional tank and chemical
treatment system. The cities are studying land along the river in Colton for soil best
suited to the process. A one-year pilot project that ended earlier this year treated 1 million
gallons a day of water on 32 acres.

five in the Rialto-Colton basin, 18 in the Chino basin, nine in San Bernardino, and 33 in
the Redlands-Loma Linda area, according to the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality
Control Board. Rialto City Attorney Bob Owen said the announcement will not seriously
impact the city's lawsuit against 42 entities accused of polluting the Rialto-Colton basin
with perchlorate. Five city wells are contaminated with the chemical. The levels ranged
from 88 ppb to 4.5 ppb before treatment systems were installed or the wells were shut
down.

New state regulations designed to keep polluted urban runoff out of coastal waters has
city officials crying foul. A portion of the new regulations will require cities to inspect
businesses to ensure their sites do not pollute urban runoff during rain storms. Even cities
that comply with the new regulations will lose protection against third party lawsuits that
they had under the former regulatory framework. Permitting fees paid to the state's
regional water quality control board by developers and cities will also be raised, and
cities with populations under 100,000 will face the fees for the first time. The new
regulations are part of a gradual trend that has tightened provisions of the Clean Water
Act since its passage in the 1970s -- a trend environmental advocates say is essential to
cleaning up coastal waters in Orange County, which consistently fail to meet pollution
targets.

The Senate will consider two bills aimed at putting teeth in 1995 legislation that required
cities and counties to at least consider water supplies before approving major projects.
SB 610 and SB 221 would spell out requirements and, more controversially, perhaps ban
housing projects that fail to prove adequate water supplies are available.

Metropolitan's board April 9 awarded a $46.8 million contract to Vista-based L.H.
Woods & Sons Inc. to install a 12-foot-diameter pipeline extending 5.3 miles from the
foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains north of the city of Highland near Highway
330. The pipeline will connect to an existing Inland Feeder pipeline section near the
Santa Ana River. The work is funded by $200 million in water revenue bonds sold by
Metropolitan in November.

This paper discusses the Chino Basin Desalination Program, a specific program that
addressed the salt imbalance in the lower Chino Groundwater Basin. The objectives of
implementing the program include: reducing dependence on imported water; providing a
drought proof water supply; improving the water quality of the Santa Ana River; and,
clean-up of the degradated groundwater basin for ultimate use as a potable water supply.
Topics covered include: end user water purchase agreements; feasibility; financing; and,
final stages of implementation.

The district means much more for Redlands than simply the possibility of losing one

to its property without going through Redlands, it's likely that other landowners in the
1,000-acre doughnut hole would consider doing the same thing. Redlands officials doubt
that the county can extend services at a reasonable cost. Still, they've opposed the
district's formation, arguing that the entire project has been studied with the assumption
that services are coming from Redlands. "That's always been stated in all the documents,"
said Eric Norris, the city's principal planner. "Everything said that service is coming from
the city of Redlands." The island of unincorporated land was created in the early 1960s,
when Redlands and the city of San Bernardino were engaged in an annexation war,
according to James Roddy, executive officer of the county's Local Agency Formation
Commission, which oversees annexation. To block the creeping annexation of San
Bernardino, Redlands marked its territory by annexing a sliver of property just south of
the Santa Ana River bed.

San Bernardino County Litigation / Legal Issues
Berghouse, L. C. (2003, July 17, 2003). Flood panel wants San Bernardino County, California, to
fight for land rights. Knight Ridder Tribune Business News, p. 1.
A San Bernardino County Flood Control District committee formally asked the county
Board of Supervisors to "vigorously" defend the district's land rights at a time when the
district's jurisdiction is in question. Even though the new 210 Freeway now diverts all
street runoff from north Upland and San Antonio Heights to the Colonies property, the
Colonies has argued that the Flood Control District lost its right to use the land because it
abandoned its easements by the mid- 1990s. The Colonies Partners and Upland city
engineers asked the committee in June 2002 to fund the expensive basin. The request was
rejected, prompting the Colonies to sue the county.
Berghouse, L. C. (2003, June 17, 2003). San Bernardino, California, Flood Control District faces
setback in property suit. Knight Ridder Tribune Business News, p. 1.
The Colonies contends that the Flood Control District does not have the right to dump
that street runoff on their property because the district abandoned that land in the 1990s.
The Colonies also contends that modern flood control needs far surpass the original scope
of the easements, thus making them invalid. [Mitchell Norton] also argued that the
Colonies has already been compensated by Caltrans for the basin. [Peter Norell] also
oversaw the Colonies case with Caltrans, which ended in a $17.9 million settlement.
Norell said the settlement did not specify that Caltrans paid damages explicitly for the
basin.

Since 1964, when San Bernardino voters rejected membership in Metropolitan to keep
control over their water supplies, the animosity has continued as courtroom brawling.
The new agreement specifically puts on hold two consolidated lawsuits in which Valley
seeks to sell excess State Water Project water into the Metropolitan system -- over the
objections of Metropolitan. "We feel the impacts are minimal to Metropolitan," Man said
of opening Metropolitan's market to Valley. "As surplus water, we want to make sure
there is no adverse impact on the resources, or on the financing or revenue structure, of
the Metropolitan system." The Valley district will deliver 15,000 acre-feet of its surplus
State Water Project supplies, brought by aqueduct from the Sacramento-San Joaquin
Delta, to Metropolitan for spreading over the higher and drier San Bernardino Basin in
the north.

the lake's water. Heyck argues the water rights became invalid after a 1913 decision in
which a San Bernardino County court ruled that water couldn't be exported from the
mountains because doing so would affect High Desert residents. Originally planned as a
drinking water reservoir to serve the communities below, Lake Arrowhead instead
became a popular recreation destination after the court decision forced a change in plans.
