Description: The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), on behalf of the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA), announces the availability of the Communities Environmental Health Screening Tool: CalEnviroScreen Version 3.0 (CalEnviroScreen 3.0). CalEnviroScreen is a screening methodology that can be used to help identify California communities that are disproportionately burdened by multiple sources of pollution. The 3.0 report and supporting documents are available at: http://oehha.ca.gov/calenviroscreen/report/calenviroscreen-30

Description: Under the direction of staff ecologists, GIS/Mapping staff analyzed vegetation data provided by the National Park Service, National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) wetlands data and other source materials to identify potential areas of sensitive habitat that would require protection in any future development within the Santa Monica Mountains portion of theCoastal Zone in Ventura County. Those habitat areas were reviewed and refined by Ventura District Office staff using aerial photography and on-the-ground verification, and included the exclusion of major roads.

Description: NWI digital data files are records of wetlands location and classification as developed by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. The classification system was adopted as a national classification standard in 1996 by the Federal Geographic Data Committee. This dataset is one of a series available in 7.5 minute by 7.5 minute blocks containing ground nimetric coordinates of wetlands point, line, and polygon features and wetlands attributes. When completed, the series will provide coverage for all of the contiguous United States, Hawaii, Alaska, and U.S. protectorates in the Pacific and Carribbean. The NWI maps do not show all wetlands since the maps are derived from aerial photointerpretation with varying limitations due to scale, photo quality, inventory techniques, and other factors. Consequently, the maps tend to show wetlands that are readily photointerpreted given consideration of photo and map scale. In general, the older NWI maps prepared from 1970s-era black and white photography (1:80,000 scale) tend to be very conservative, with many forested and drier-end emergent wetlands (e.g., wet meadows) not mapped. Maps derived from color infrared photography tend to yield more accurate results except when this photography was captured during a dry year, making wetland identification equally difficult. Proper use of NWI maps therefore requires knowledge of the inherent limitations of this mapping. It is suggested that users also consult other information to aid in wetland detection, such as U.S. Department of Agriculture soil survey reports and other wetland maps that may have been produced by state and local governments, and not rely solely on NWI maps. See section on "Completeness_Report" for more information.

Description: Identification of property that is currently under LCA contract within Ventura County unincorporated areas. Includes contracts recorded before the January 1, 2015 lien date. The "Type" attribute column specifies whether contract is 10 year (LCA) or 20 year (FSZA), or whether it was not renewed. PNNR is a partial non-renwal and ENNR is an entire non-newal.
