Revision as of 12:26, 11 April 2017
A watershed-related issue examined by the ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems class at CSUMB.
Summary
The Soberanes wildfire started on July 22, 2016 and was not contained until October 12, 2016.[1] It burned a total of 132,127 acres, mostly in Los Padres National Forest (94,933 acres).[2]
Although previous fires, like the Marble Cone Fire and Basin Complex-Indians Fire, burned a greater acreage, the proximity to populated areas and duration of the Soberanes Fire made it a greater threat human life and homes,[3] and it is considered to be the most expensive fire fought on U.S. soil.[4]
Location
The Soberanes Fire began in Garrapata State Park along the central coast, about 12 miles south of Monterey, California. The fire spread across the Ventana Wilderness of Los Padres National Forest in the the northern part of the Santa Lucia Mountains, and south into Big Sur [5].
