Lists to keep up to date
Don't forget to make sure all major 'issue' and 'summary' pages are listed in one of these two lists:
- Watershed Issues on the Central Coast of California
- Summaries of Environmental Topics on the Central Coast of California
Ideas for the future
New pages & major updates
Fill in pages that have been created on this wiki but are empty or mostly empty
- Flesh out pages on BLM and USFS and what they do on the Central Coast
- 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 2018.
- A list of major ecosystem types of the region, with links to pages on each e.g. : Coastal Oak Woodland, Maritime Chaparral, Castal Dune Scrub, Annual Grassland, Vernal Pools, Coastal Redwood Forest, ...
- It would look something like the page on Recreational Planning Initiatives in the California Central Coast except with one link for each habitat wiki.
- Page on Chaparral, with links to things relevant to it (e.g. the importance of Maritime Chaparral in the Central Coast Region), 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.
- Write up page on California Department of Parks and Recreation
- Flesh out the page on Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District
- Page on Incidental Take Permits (ITPs) otherwise known as 2081 permits
- Needs to be related to this page Common Permits Required for Restoration in the Central Coast Region, which might need a split or a name change to make it more general and less specific about 'restoration'
- Separate new page listing major or exemplary ITPs in the region
- Develop pages regarding Recreational Planning Initiatives in the California Central Coast:
- Page on EIRs, probably small, leaving most of the heavy lifting to the various CEQA pages
- New page on the effort to create a groundwater sustainability agency for the Salinas Valley
- New pages on these organizations, and their activities in the region:
- Resource Conservation District of Monterey County (RCDMC)
- The Nature Conservancy (TNC)- this page was created in 2016, but needs more content
- Fill in pages on California Native Plant Society (CNPS) and California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Rare Plant Ranking System
- New page on Water Supply Issues on the Former Fort Ord
- New page on the former Regional Urban Water Augmentation Project (RUWAP)
- 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.
- New page on Wildlife Connectivity in the California Central Coast Region
- Would need to integrate with the existing pages on Riparian corridors in the California Central Coast Region and Wildlife Corridor
- Things to include
- Pages on Critical Habitat designated under the ESA, and specific Critical Habitat designated in the Central Coast Region
- Pages on CDFW and USFWS and their major activities in our region - e.g. issuing ITPs, and managing wildlife reserves.
- Pages on Easements, and specifically Conservation Easements, and more-specifically, major Conservation Easements held in the region.
- New page on Canyon Del Rey Watershed and Maps of Canyon Del Rey Watershed
- New page on CCWQPI monitoring results and reporting
- New page on Urban stormwater regulations applicable to California's Central Coast region
- New page on CEQA and California's Central Coast Region
- New page on Integrated Regional Water Management in California's Central Coast Region
- Responsibilities and Regulations of Central Coast Water Quality Control Board Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board
- Capture the projects, consultants, and models used in this report on the Carmel Lagoon Ecosystem Protective Barrier
- A page on Recovery Plans under the ESA (listing ones that are being or have been developed in the Central Coast)
- Flesh out the 'Watch-Listed' category on the Special Status Species page (perhaps with a new page). Give local examples (e.g. some birds), and show how species get on this list (some specific analyses of CBC and BBS trends by one or two NGOs).
- Summarize local examples (e.g. from actual local EIRs) of how various Special Status Species designations have been recognized and heeded. e.g. in what cases have 'Watch Listed' species been identified in an EIR or IS/MND, and what was the consequence of this?
'Fill in or create pages regarding key regions or location of interest along the Californian Central Coast
- New page on Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS)
- Page on The Big Sur River Watershed
- New pages on City of Seaside, City of Monterey, City of Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, Carmel, Carmel Highlands, Carmel-by-the-Sea, and Carmel Valley.
Minor to moderate updates
- Update the pages relating to major current water projects i.e.:
- Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project (MPWSP)
- Monterey Peninsula Groundwater Replenishment Project - / Pure Water Monterey - lots has probably happened since last page update
- 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.
- Firms:
- Add more to:
- Invasive Species of California
- California Endangered Species Act (CESA)
- Coastal Retreat in California's Central Coast Region
- Local Coastal Programs in California's Central Coast Region
- Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project (MPWSP) - summarize the RESULTS of the slant well test, and the controversy since those results
- Big Sur Region
- Individual pages on counties and cities listed here. Make sure links are added to all pages!
- Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District (MPRPD)
- Restructure:
- The summary on this page isn't really a "summary": CalAm Use of Carmel River Groundwater Basin
- 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
- Add basic disclaimer etc to any wikis lacking it
More ideas from Doug
- Regional water and DESAL
- Balanced view of the current desal options.
- Decision making process about selecting a desal provider
- Current thoughts on cost to rate payers
- DAM removal
- update--dam is down---river is constructed--before and after monitoring of impacts is ongoing. There are some pre-removal datasets to link to.
- 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.
- Progress on the nacitone tunnel.

- Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project - made grammatical corrections, changed reference links at bottom of page to a name that indicates what to expect when clicked, added a map showing the MPWSP project area, added some hot links within text
- Incidental Take Permits (ITPs) - add 'Links' section, and link to any pages in the wiki that relate to ITPs (do a search) e.g. the Fort Ord HCP. Maybe update the references so that the text that appears is an indication of what to expect if you clicked the link (as opposed to a garbled URL). Changed reference links at the bottom to the name of the page, added links section at bottom of page and put links in, minor edits in text.
- Flesh these two pages out a tiny bit (mainly by adding a summary sentence or two; and maybe a map of the MRWPCA site showing both plants): Salinas Valley Reclamation Plant (SVRP) and Regional Treatment Plant (RTP). Added brief text summarizing SVRP, added brief text summarizing RTP, added map to RTP page.

Updates worked on in 2014:
- TMDLs in the Monterey Bay Region of California
- Approaches to TMDL Development and Implementation in the Monterey Bay Area
- Los Padres Reservoir Capacity Issues
- Sudden Oak Death (SOD)
- Urban storm water management in the City of Santa Cruz
- Steelhead Management in the Monterey Bay Region
- Steelhead Management in the Salinas Watershed
- Steelhead

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.
- CEQA approaches to each of the main CEQA areas:
- 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, ...
