You Rock Dianne!
Thank you, Salvador Arana!!!
What will we be able to ban or restrict to save this useless POS as we did up NOrth?
Thank you Dianne for this timely article. I am a former federal fisheries biologist who worked 16 years as such. Of these, 4 were spent with the US Forest Service in Tahoe/CA, Aspen/CO, Ketchikan/AK, and Mt.Hood/OR. The remaining 12 were spent working for the Inter American Tropical Tuna Commission at Scripps Inst. of Oceanography in La Jolla, CA. I KNOW FISHERIES and I KNOW the hydrological history in Bouquet, as well as the fact that Bouquet Canyon stickleback were inadvertently planted by the California Fish and Game back in the early 70’s with the trout plants in Bouquet to satisfy the need for family outdoor recreational activity in our community.
I also happen to be a cabin owner in Bouquet for the last 23 years and have followed this “fishy” situation from the inception back in 2009 when the Angeles National Forest and the US Fish and Wildlife Service “started” calling the stickleback in Bouquet Canyon the endangered UTS (unarmored threespined stickleback) type as opposed to the 99% population that were un-endangered PTS (partially armored variety). Redacted FOIAs and lots of non-replies by federal government biologists had my hackles up knowing I must be onto a questionable science issue or else my inquiries would have been answered MUCH AS I HAD DONE when corporations, industries, and the public asked for clarification on my field work and analysis during my 16 years of federal service.
A very concise genetic study WAS conducted and found the stickleback in Bouquet to be “low plated morphs” and thus considered a PIRU area gene stock.. NOT AN ENDANGERED STOCK. Meanwhile L.A. County has been paying absorbent amounts of money to a few select biologists who get paid handsomely to “net these fish” so that two select road culverts can be cleaned out each year. These fish were netted, and these contracts were awarded based on these fish being ENDANGERED. Suspect regulations were being handed down to the cabins in their permit renewal process with no water quality studies to back up claims and the cabins stood to lose their permits entirely. We DID our homework, we DID our certified water quality work, we know the science and that of the polluted quality in the Santa Clara River that the REAL UTS seem to survive in quite well. So we have been patiently waiting for the feds to finally come up with their conclusions and where we in Bouquet Canyon stand to either win or lose. Then and only then will we play our hand of what we have to throw on the table.
Hopefully the USFWS can handle the situation as they did with the 21,000 home,school,industrial park, and other mega development that Newhall Land has been positioning to build on the flanks of the Santa Clara River. And that is give the residents of the lower canyon and the cabin owners THEIR WATER, and do what is right for public safety on Bouquet Canyon Road by allowing the LA County to do the corrections needed to the stream bed channel to correct the seepage issues by keeping the creek in its channel. This can only be done if the canyon residents are given the SAME GREEN LIGHT in their Biological Opinion as what the USFWS gladly handed to Newhall Land for their mega development in UTS habitat.
