(editor's note:  this map shows an unusual geologic feature in the East L.A. area, which is a collection of uplifted hilltops that were cut and separated by rivers and creeks, known as a Thrust Fault. These separating creekbeds have mostly been developed. So the East L.A. Hilltops are islands of habitat in an urban sea. This collection of hilltop habitats could reconnect the Santa Monica, Verdugo and San Gabriel mountains with open spaces in Orange, Riverside and San Diego Counties.)

ABOUT THE BUYER: tataviam-nsn.us

Land Veritas, based in Sausalito, owns 2 mitigation banks in Calif,
300 acres Soquel canyon in Chino Hills

------------------------------------

SOUTH OF GORMAN/RIDGE ROUTE 45 acres: proposed development on an important 5 freeway underpass that functions as a wildlife crossing. Comment letter to the County of Los Angeles on the proposed Smokey Bear Road Commercial Development Project (PRJ2020-000699) in unincorporated Los Angeles County.
MRCA 8-7-24 Item VI(d) Staff Report. On a 44.7 acre site, apn: N 3250-020-007

"Smokey Bear Road is the only undercross in the approximate 7.2-mile stretch of I-5”, in the 45 mile 5- freeway corridor between the Grapevine and Castaic.

https://mrca.civicweb.net/document/139438/Consideration%20of%20resolution%20authorizing%20a%20comme.pdf?handle=74C1A8DF2F7A4C1A840885ACDEDF942F

“Thus, MRCA recommends the Project proponent prepare alternative plans that buffer high-intensity development at least 500 feet from the property’s Smokey Bear Road and existing I-5 frontage road, Copco Avenue, as shown on the attached map. While this highintensity development would still severely impact wildlife connectivity across I-5 using Smokey Bear Road with additional vehicle traffic, noise and light pollution, trash, and reduced air quality, moving the proposed development north and away from Smokey Bear Road will reduce some of the worst impacts and provide critical line-of-sight views for wildlife to travel under I-5 and reduce the threat to wildlife and motorists from high-speed collisions on I-5. “

comment letter to the County of Los Angeles for the proposed Smokey Bear Road Commercial Development Project (PRJ2020-000699) to develop a wildlife corridor dispersal/collector property adjacent to the Smokey Bear Road undercross of Interstate 5 in unincorporated Los Angeles County. SMMC 9/16/2024
https://smmc.civicweb.net/document/54267/Consideration%20of%20resolution%20authorizing%20a%20comme.pdf?handle=BC33A1345782439AA24C5D7F32704D41

http://www.scwildlands.org/reports/scmlregionalreport.pdf
--The top priority for a crossing structure on I-5 is where Grapevine Creek crosses I-5 just south of Ft. Tejon State Park and Tejon Ranch Headquarters. The least cost corridors for puma, mule deer, and western gray squirrel cross the freeway here, and appropriate habitats occur for numerous other species. Grapevine Creek now crosses I-5 in a small box culvert, which should be replaced with a large bridged undercrossing. To maximize the utility of Grapevine Creek as a movement area, we recommend removal of several buildings of the Tejon Ranch Headquarters (two administrative buildings, about a dozen homes, and an old school), and the associated mile of Lebec Road. The area vacated by these buildings should be restored to native vegetation.
--Another priority area for improved crossing structures along I-5 is a 3-mile stretch south of the village of Gorman and north of the SR138 interchange. The least cost path of the Tehachapi pocket mouse crosses I-5 here, and suitable habitat occurs for several other focal species. The vegetation on the steep slopes appears to have been overgrazed and now lacks woody cover except in drainage bottoms; restoration or cessation of grazing domestic livestock would be needed. Four box culverts about 5 feet tall and wide are spaced one-half to 1 mile apart, and suggest locations for bridged undercrossings. Each culvert opens directly into Hungry Valley State Park on the west, and into Gorman Valley on the east. Alternatively, a vegetated land bridge may also be feasible in this area.
