RECITALS
This Agreement is entered into on the basis of the following facts,
understandings, and intentions of the Parties:
A. Representatives of numerous agencies, including water, mining, flood
control, resource management and conservation, and municipalities, formed the Santa
Ana River Wash Area Coordinating Planning Activities Committee ("Wash Committee")
to address local mining issues and other land functions on the Upper Santa Ana River
Wash ("Wash"). A Policy Action Committee ("PAC") was subsequently established,
consisting of elected officials from San Bernardino County, Highland, Redlands, and the
Conservation District, as well as the Field Manager of the BLM. A Technical Advisory
159 Ul SO-124)001
Committee ("TAC") was also formed with representatives from the PAC agencies, and
other water, mining, flood control, and resource protection interests.
B. The Wash Committee examined the most appropriate manner in which to
use the Wash for the benefit of all landowners without regard to preexisting planning of
the Wash or current land ownership. Ultimately, the Wash Committee determined that
there should be a balance of land uses to accommodate the needs of mineral
extraction, water conservation, habitat protection, and municipal infrastructure
requirements (i.e. utilities, trails, etc.). To achieve land use balance, current land uses
must be reassigned to better accommodate mineral extraction, water conservation, and
habitat. To effect such change, an exchange of existing land ownership between BLM
and the Conservation District, and a transfer of leasehold interests between the mining
companies and the Conservation District will be required.
C. The TAC reached a general consensus in early 2000 regarding the
designation of specific areas of the Wash for the desired uses. The result of this multi-
jurisdictional effort was the creation of a proposed Land Management and Habitat
Conservation Plan for the Upper Santa Ana River Wash ("Concept Plan"). The Concept
Plan establishes the framework for balancing ongoing and future land activities
proposed for the Wash Planning Area ("WPA"), including habitat protection areas and
recreational trail alignments. The Concept Plan was reviewed and endorsed by the
governing boards and/or officials with approval authority from each of the Parties.
D. Each of the Parties have found and determined that it is in their best
interests to join together to: manage activities in connection with the necessary
refinements, environmental review, and implementation of the Land Management and
Habitat Conservation Plan (collectively the ''Project"); provide an equitable cost-sharing
mechanism for the funding of the Project; and, define the projected schedule and scope
of work to execute the Project.
E. The Parties hereto now enter into this Agreement to establish a Task
Force, consisting of a representative from each party, to oversee and administer the
preparation of plans, environmental review documents, public notices and hearings, and
other activities requisite to the formulation and, if adopted, execution of the Project.
F. In entering into this Agreement, the Parties reserve their discretionary
authority with regard to the execution of the Project, including but not limited to any land
use and planning authority under state and local law, authority, designated under the
Surface and Mining Recovery Act ("SMARA"), and CEQA approval of their own
discretionary decisions executing the Project.

PROPOSED LAND MANAGEMENT
AND HABFIAT CONSERVATION PLAN
FOR THE
UPPER SANTA ANA RIVER WASH
D. Burnell Cavender, AICP
General Manager
San Bernardino Valley Water Conservation District
Introduction
The land area between the mouth of the Santa Ana River Canyon, down stream of the new Seven
Oaks Dam on the east, Interstate 215 (1-215) on the west, the cities of Highland and Redlands to
the north and south, respectively, is known locally as the Upper Santa Ana River Wash (Wash)
(Fig 1). A part of that Wash, containing approximately 5,200 acres, from the canyon mouth to
Alabama Street on the west and bounded by the cities, has been the subject of intense planning
the past three years. This area is known as the Wash Planning Area or the "WPA" (Fig 2).
Historically, the Wash was a natural flood plain and alluvial fan. In the past, the flood plain has
provided a place to convey frequently devastating flood waters and deposit sediment. The
alluvial deposit provides excellent geologic conditions to establish settling basins for percolating
surface water to the groundwater basin, providing a significant part of the water supply for the
local region. These same geologic conditions provide regionally significant deposits of sand and
gravel as classified by the California Department of Conservation, that are used to support the
local economy. In recent years, the value of the Wash as habitat for a variety of sensitive.
threatened, and endangered species has become more apparent due to the decrease in this type of
habitat throughout Southern California (Fig 3). Because the Wash is a unique open space and
corridor, the County of San Bernardino (County) and the cities of Highland and Redlands are
also planning to establish a series of recreational trails in and around the Wash. These important
functions within the Wash, flood control, water conservation, mineral extraction, and wildlife
habitat, are often in direct competition for much of the same land. It has been apparent since the
early 1980s that a land management plan for the future use of the Wash would be needed to
maintain other public services (water supply facilities, transportation and utility corridors, and
recreation/trails), provide areas for the extraction of valuable construction materials, and
preserve declining sensitive habitats.
In 1993, representatives of numerous agencies, including water, mining, flood control, wildlife
and municipal interests, formed a Wash Committee to address local mining issues. Subsequently,
the role of the Committee was expanded to address all the land functions in the Wash. The Wash
Committee began meeting again in 1997 to determine how to use the WPA to accommodate all
the important functions identified above. A Policy Action Committee (PAC) was established
consisting of elected officials from the County, cities of Highland and Redlands, and the San
Bernardino Valley Water Conservation District (District), and the Field Manager from the U.S.
Bureau of Land Management (BLM). A Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) was formed with
SA Wash Plan—Revised 1
04/11/01
representatives of the PAC agencies and other water, mining, flood control, and wildlife
interests. The District chairs and provides staff support for the Committees.
The TAC, in concept. wiped the WPA clean of land ownership lines (Fig 4) and began anew to
decide how the land could best be used. As a result of extensive workshops during 1998 and
1999, a conceptual Coordinated WPA map has been developed. As expected, the way the land
might best be used and the way the land use was planned were not the same, nor does it conform
to current land ownership. For example, the TAC found that some land proposed for mining was
better suited for joint use by water conservation and wildlife habitat while other areas proposed
for habitat preservation could be used better for mining. It became apparent that to make a plan
work. land ownership would have to change. in particular, a land transfer or exchange between
the BLM and the District, and areas leased by the District for mining.
A general consensus of the TAC was reached in early 2000 on the areas within the WPA
designated for the specified land uses, which is the basis of the Land Management and Habitat
Conservation Plan (Plan) (Fig 5). As stated, the proposed designations for land use crossed land
ownership (3 public and 2 private) and land use authority lines (2 cities and the County). The
TAC determined that mining expansion is best addressed by consolidating the future mining
activity into one large area adjacent to existing mining operations within the western half of the
WPA. This focuses extraction activities on lands currently disturbed by mining and lands with
the least long-term wildlife habitat value. Furthermore, the TAC determined that portions of the
BLM land designated as Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) were either
previously disturbed or were fragmented by adjacent mining activities, and thus would be better
suited for mining expansion. Some of the most intact, viable wildlife habitat areas are contained
within lands that are leased for future mining and currently used for water conservation. The
TAC concluded that some of these lands were best suited for joint use as water and habitat
conservation rather than mining. For example, the up-gradient side of a percolation basin dike
could be wetted and periodically contain water for water-dependent species; whereas, the down-
gradient side could generally remain undisturbed, except for maintenance and repair of the
percolation basin dike and. therefore, could support other wildlife species common to the WPA.
Refinements in land use boundaries were made and agency and jurisdictional coordination was
accomplished. The result of this effort is a proposed Plan that designates areas of the WPA for
specific uses. The Plan will allow the existing and future Wash activities and land functions to
occur and establish habitat preserves.
It is imperative that the principles that will govern the use, management, and conservation of the
WPA be set forth in legally binding documents to which all concerned parties can agree. The
PAC believes that there are sufficient lands in the WPA that can be divided equitably among the
advocates to accommodate the needs for water conservation and supply facilities, aggregate
extraction, and flood protection. while providing land for wildlife habitat and recreation.
It is equally important to note that if this coordinated Plan is not implemented, the consequences
could be very grave for each of the primary use groups. Without the Plan, attempts to expand
water conservation to meet future demands, develop additional aggregate resources, or
effectively protect habitat will likely be held up by legal proceedings. Such action could result in
SA Wash Plan—Revised 2
04/11/01
piecemeal planning, thus impairing the ability to reach an effective compromise. If local land use
agencies make decisions regarding mining development in the WPA, without considering a
coordinated plan. there could be greater environmental degradation and reduced ability to meet
future water supply demands. On the other hand, if local officials make land use decisions that
significantly restrict water conservation activities and mining, the reduced availability of water
and aggregate resources may impact the economic development of the region. The affect of not
implementing this Plan is that none of the groups would be able to accomplish its goals.
Proposed Project Description Summary
The proposed project is a Land Management and Habitat Conservation Plan (Plan) for the Upper
Santa Ana River Wash Planning Area. The land area addressed in this Plan is part of the overall
alluvial fan and flood plain located along the Santa Ana River one mile downstream from the
new Seven Oaks Dam between the cities of Highland on the north and Redlands to the south.
The City of San Bernardino, to the northwest, is the largest city in the San Bernardino Valley.
The WPA covers approximately 5,200 acres and starts at the canyon mouth at Greenspot Road.
extends for some six miles to Alabama Street, and is as much as two miles wide.
The Plan will coordinate and accommodate existing ongoing and anticipated future activities
planned to occur in the WPA, establish habitat preserve areas, and provide recreational trails.
Each function will occupy designated specific areas within the WPA best suited for that function
and will also accommodate the other competing uses for the overall benefit of the WPA. These
existing and future activities include the following:
• Water conservation of both native and (when necessary) imported water resources for
groundwater basin replenishment to augment public water supplies;
• Flood control, and management of the Seven Oaks Dam releases;
• Aggregate extraction and processing;
• Protection and conservation of sensitive and listed native species and habitat;
• Recreation planning including a portion of the Santa Ana River trail system; and
• Utilities, transportation, and water supply corridors and facilities.
The final approved Plan, its associated actions and permits, and environmental review will
provide the necessary information for jurisdictional approvals for the described activities to
move forward. The Plan, when implemented will be considered a "Win-Win-Win" for all the
water, utility and service functions, mineral resource management, and environmental resource
preservation.
As staff for the Wash Committee, the District invites your questions and support for this inter-
relational concept plan. You may call me at 909-793-2503, or write to me at P.O. Box 1839,
