===New pages & major updates===
  
* Update the pages relating to major current water projects i.e.:
+
* Flesh out [[California Wildlife Conservation Board]] page
** [[Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project (MPWSP)]]
+
* A page on mitigation banking including examples on the Central Coast (e.g. 2 CalTrans banks in our region - at Carmel Lagoon & at Elkhorn Slough)
** [[San Clemente Dam]] page still needs AT THE VERY START OF THE PAGE to say that the dam has been removed. i.e. It "was" a dam.
+
* [[California State Lands Commission]]
** [[Monterey Peninsula Groundwater Replenishment Project]] - / Pure Water Monterey - lots has probably happened since last page update
+
* Mo CO Ag Land Trust & Ferrini Ranch
 +
* A page on simulation models used in Env Mgt in the Central Coast, and a page on each model (including links to projects where it has been used). Include models like:
 +
** [[HEC-RAS]]
 +
** [[HEC-HMS]]
 +
** [[SVIGSM]]
 +
** [[MODFLOW]]
  
* Add firms and projects to [[List of Environmental Consultants working in the California Central Coast Region]]:
+
* Flesh out this page: [[Organizations involved in the management of California's Central Coast Region]]
** Firms:
+
* A page on [[Monterey County Civil Grand Jury]] and some of the key things it's done
*** Firms involved with the CSUMB Master Plan Update (In 2016 added some new firms- more firms may have done work on this plan)
+
* A page on RCDs, and add RCDs to examples of "Special Districts"
*** Firms involved with Seaside General Plan update - Raimi etc.
+
* A page on Monterey Regional Airport District, and add this to examples of "Special Districts"
 +
* A page explaining the basic concept of 'water rights' and listing the local issues that are relevant to it (e.g. Seawater Intrusion, Urban Development, ...)
  
*Add more to:
+
'''Fill in pages that have been created on this wiki but are empty or mostly empty'''
** [[California Endangered Species Act (CESA)]]
+
* Flesh out pages on these organizations and what they do in the CC region:
** [[Coastal Retreat in California's Central Coast Region]]
+
** [[BLM]]. A functional [[BLM]] wikipage is something that could greatly help round out this wiki. A '''lot''' of existing wikipages link back to the currently empty BLM or relate to the BLM in some way. Might be something seriously worth considering as a "phase 2" project for 2019.
** [[Local Coastal Programs in California's Central Coast Region]]
+
** [[USFS]]
** [[Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project (MPWSP)]] - summarize the RESULTS of the slant well test, and the controversy since those results
+
** [[MPRPD]]
 
+
** [[RCDMC]]
* Restructure:
+
** [[USFWS]]
** The summary on this page isn't really a "summary": [[CalAm Use of Carmel River Groundwater Basin]]
+
** [[CNPS]]
** This page is  bit disorganized. It is supposed to address progress SINCE the adoption of the TMDL, but instead it focuses mainly on plans made during adoption of the TMDL: [[Lower Salinas River Watershed Nutrient TMDL - Implementation and Monitoring Progress]]
+
** [[California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Rare Plant Ranking System]]
 
+
* A list of [[Ecosystems of California's Central Coast Region]], with links to pages on each, and with each page including a section on policy surrounding that ecosystem e.g. :
* Add basic disclaimer etc to:
+
** [[Coastal Oak Woodland]]
** [[Slant wells]]
+
** [[Maritime Chaparral]]
 
+
** [[Coastal Dune Scrub]]
New pages & major updates
+
** [[Annual Grassland]]
 
+
** [[Vernal Pools]]
* Page on EIRs, probably small, leaving most of the heavy lifting to the various [[CEQA]] pages
+
** [[Coastal Redwood Forest]]
* New page on the effort to create a groundwater sustainability agency for the Salinas Valley
+
** [[Monterey Pine Forest]]
 +
** The overall ecosystems page would look something like the page on [[Recreational Planning Initiatives in the California Central Coast]] except with one link for each habitat wiki.
 +
** Individual ecosystem pages would be like the existing page/s relating to [[Oak Woodland]]
 +
* Add pages on energy issues in the California Central coast, like '''fracking''', etc...
 +
* Flesh out the page on [[National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)]] (a bit like we've already done for the [[CEQA]] page). Specifically, include things like EIS, FONSI, CATEX, Section 7 consultations. Also include examples of prominent projects whose environmental impacts have primarily been addressed through NEPA (as opposed to CEQA), e.g. California Valley Solar, and probably a bunch of federal UXO actions on Ft Ord.
 
* Page on [[Incidental Take Permits (ITPs)]] otherwise known as [[2081]] permits
 
* Page on [[Incidental Take Permits (ITPs)]] otherwise known as [[2081]] permits

** [[Resource Conservation District of Monterey County (RCDMC)]]
+
** [[Fort Ord National Monument]]
** [[The Nature Conservancy (TNC)]]- this page was created in 2016, but needs more content
+
** [[Fort Ord Recreational Habitat Area (FORHA)]]

* Develop the [[California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC)]] page to include a list of major points where CPUC has exerted influence on projects in the southern Monterey Monterey Bay region.
 
* Pages on some specific [[Special Status Species]], including things basic life history and distribution, but mainly focusing on relevance to environmental management i.e. how their protection relates to various projects e.g. Snowy Plover, and its relationship with [[SVWSP]] and [[The Collection at Monterey Bay]] etc.

=== Short, dead-end, and pages with the fewest revisions ===
 +
 
 +
A good place to look for pages that could potentially need beefing up is under the [http://ccows.csumb.edu/wiki/index.php/Special:SpecialPages Special Pages] section of this wiki. Specifically, look under:
 +
 
 +
*[http://ccows.csumb.edu/wiki/index.php/Special:ShortPages Short pages]
 +
**Lists pages that could use some beefing up. Some pages look like they aren't relevant to the wiki, but others do (i.e. [[Point source pollution]], [[California Energy Commission]], and many more).
 +
*[http://ccows.csumb.edu/wiki/index.php/Special:DeadendPages Dead-end pages]
 +
**These pages do not link to other pages in the CCoWS Wiki (which is something we want to avoid. We want the wiki pages to be as interconnected as possible). Probably means that these pages are undereveloped, too...
 +
***It would be wise to look through these and add links to other wikis if applicable.
 +
*[http://ccows.csumb.edu/wiki/index.php/Special:FewestRevisions Pages with the fewest revisions]
 +
**Also a good place to look for pages that need some minor to major revisions (for example, the [[California Natural Resources Agency]] and [[California Tiger Salamander]], and pages are listed here.)
 +
**This is also an '''excellent''' place to look for pages that could potentially be part of your '''Phase 1''' assignment. Some of these pages appear to be moderately fleshed out but have few revisions
 +
 
 +
Be wary though, looks like some of these pages could be redirected to other beefed up pages. Use the search bar to make sure you aren't re-writing information that already exists.
 +
 
 +
===Minor to moderate updates===
 +
 
 +
* Reduce any redundancy among these five pages (and potentially others):
 +
** [[Salmonids in California's Central Coast Region: Salmon, Trout, and Steelhead]]
 +
** [[Anadromous Species of Washington, Oregon, and California]]
 +
** [[Anadromous Fishes of California's Central Coast Region]]
 +
** [[Steelhead Management in the Monterey Bay Region]]
 +
** [[Steelhead Management in the Salinas Watershed]]
 +
 
 +
* A member of the public emailed July 2019 asking that SC Dam be removed from maps of the Carmel Watershed
 +
 
 +
* Check and move all items from [[ENVS_560/L_Watershed_Systems|the list on this 560 page]] to [[Summaries of Environmental Topics on the Central Coast of California|this page]] or [[Watershed Issues on the Central Coast of California|this page]]. Ultimately, we DON'T want to have a list on the 560 page.
 +
 
 +
* Check what we have on who can hold cons easements (e.g. BSLT has applied to be able to do this)
 +
 
 +
* Capture the projects, consultants, and models used in [http://www.co.monterey.ca.us/planning/major/EPB%20and%20Scenic%20Road%20Protection/Feas%20Rpt%20-%20Final%20Tech%20Rpts%20(geology%20hydrology%20biology).pdf this report] on the Carmel Lagoon Ecosystem Protective Barrier
 +
 
 +
* Add [http://acshabitat.com/] to firms working in our region. They do hab management for Naval Support Activity Monterey in the dunes area.
 +
 
 +
* Update the pages relating to major current water projects i.e.:
 +
** [[Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project (MPWSP)]]
 +

 +
 
 +
* Add firms and projects to [[List of Environmental Consultants working in the California Central Coast Region]]:
 +
** Firms:
 +
*** Firms involved with the CSUMB Master Plan Update (In 2016 added some new firms- more firms may have done work on this plan)
 +
*** Firms involved with Seaside General Plan update - Raimi etc.
 +

Revision as of 18:35, 9 May 2020

This page is a working area for the ENVS 560 class.

Lists to keep up to date

Don't forget to make sure all major 'issue' and 'summary' pages are listed in one of the site Contents pages.

Ideas for the future

New pages & major updates

Fill in pages that have been created on this wiki but are empty or mostly empty

Fill in or create pages regarding key regions or location of interest along the Californian Central Coast

Short, dead-end, and pages with the fewest revisions

A good place to look for pages that could potentially need beefing up is under the Special Pages section of this wiki. Specifically, look under:

  • Short pages
  • Dead-end pages
    • These pages do not link to other pages in the CCoWS Wiki (which is something we want to avoid. We want the wiki pages to be as interconnected as possible). Probably means that these pages are undereveloped, too...
      • It would be wise to look through these and add links to other wikis if applicable.
  • Pages with the fewest revisions
    • Also a good place to look for pages that need some minor to major revisions (for example, the California Natural Resources Agency and California Tiger Salamander, and pages are listed here.)
    • This is also an excellent place to look for pages that could potentially be part of your Phase 1 assignment. Some of these pages appear to be moderately fleshed out but have few revisions

Be wary though, looks like some of these pages could be redirected to other beefed up pages. Use the search bar to make sure you aren't re-writing information that already exists.

Minor to moderate updates

  • A member of the public emailed July 2019 asking that SC Dam be removed from maps of the Carmel Watershed
  • Check what we have on who can hold cons easements (e.g. BSLT has applied to be able to do this)
  • Capture the projects, consultants, and models used in this report on the Carmel Lagoon Ecosystem Protective Barrier
  • Add [1] to firms working in our region. They do hab management for Naval Support Activity Monterey in the dunes area.
  • Add basic disclaimer etc to any wikis lacking it
  • Regional water and Desalination in California's Central Coast Region
    • Balanced view of the current desal options.
    • Decision making process about selecting a desal provider
    • Current thoughts on cost to rate payers
  • Status of county's response to new State Groundwater Monitoring regs. Compare to other parts of the state?
  • Get a list of the planned urban development for the next ten years in the CalAm service area and assess the water consumption of those developments.
  • Follow up on Big Sur Watershed management plan as a case study in that kind of public process...what kinds of projects were implemented or are planned as a result of that document. What is the process for getting improvement projects funded? Does the current watershed management planning process work? What is the status of the Carmel watershed management planning process?
  • Issues around los padres Dam.

Updates worked on in 2014:

Leftover ideas after 2014:

  • Association of Environmental Professionals (AEP)
    • Who they are
    • What they do
    • Who are members
    • Student chapter
    • Recent events
  • PG Diversion project & DEIR
  • Hollister Hills - site summary
  • Page on all the water providers in the Monterey Bay Region - the biggies (like Cal Am), and all the teeny weird ones you never heard of (like Seaside Muni). Needs a good set of maps.
  • Other:
    • Water Supply for the Cal Am service area (focus on current impediments to the proposed portfolio approach)
    • Water metering as a means of understanding agricultural water use.
    • Understanding "water policy cycles"---Water supply and Policies that are viable in drought years, but untenable in years of plenty (new big dams in CA, etc).
    • Impacts of the new Salinas River channel maintenance program.
    • Movement toward public takeover of Cal Am water supply system.
    • Is there a physical inventory of extant groundwater resources to fuel existing (or proposed) Fort Ord reuse plans. This could be a close scrutiny of the Monterey Downs EIR.
    • How does the planned desal impact Fort Ord reuse?
    • Potential water use projects that would secure the now tenuous MCWRA rights to about 168,000 af/yr of Salinas Valley water.
    • When new subdivisions are permitted, they must demonstrate a sustainable water supply. Apparently, that approach is flawed, since many areas are in overdraft. What are the minimum criteria for demonstrating "sustainable" water supply and why does it fail in many cases?

Leftover ideas after 2013:

  • CEQA
    • CEQA approaches to each of the main CEQA areas:
      • Visual / aesthetic
      • Transport
      • Wetlands
      • etc.
    • Firms that do CEQA, tabulated by project, role, specialty, client etc.
  • Land use planning in Central Coast
    • County General Plan
    • County Long-Range Development Plan
    • Marina General Plan
    • Seaside General Plan
    • AMBAG Metropolitan Transportation Plan
    • TAMC Regional Transportation Plan
    • Former CA-led County Redevelopment Agencies and new 'Successor' agencies.
    • Fort Ord
      • BRAC / Fort Ord Cleanup
      • History of consistency determinations made with respect to Fort Ord Reuse Plan
  • Viewshed policy (county critical viewshed, approaches taken in CEQA projects)
  • Water rights - How do water rights work?
    • e.g. for projects in CEQA right now (Ferrini, Downs)
  • Drainage studies
    • e.g. Canyon del Rey and current contract to Balance & Whitson
  • Ag Waiver & TMDLs:
    • Can always use more updating with new developments
  • Stakeholder pages:
    • Marina Coast Water District, e.g. its role in Fort Ord re-use
    • MPWMD, e.g. its role in Canyon del Rey drainage study update
    • TAMC
    • AMBAG
  • Specific Watersheds
  • Wildlife:
    • Wildlife habitat corridor planning - State-level efforts, Regional effort led by CalTrans, Local survey led by BSLT, ...
